Music
Music Clubs Extend Influence
By Booking Aspiring Young ToIent
By Alice Eversmon

One of the most important de-
velopments in the local music life
in recent years is the expansion of
activities among musical groups.
There are several of many years
standing which have worked con-
sistently to spread the apprecia-
ton of music. Most of this en-
deavor has been confined to the
individual circles, and while its
effect was felt in concert patron
age and in critical following of
happenings in the music world,
it was given little publicity. Now.
two of the prominent organiza-
tions, the Friday Morning Music
Club Foundation and the Wash
ington Music Teachers Associa-
ton, have offered money awards
and concert sponsorship to young
musicians of artist caliber, chosen
in competition,
To obtain the $1,000 to be Civ
en- the contest winner, the Friday
Morning Music Club Foundation
will be co-sponsor with the Pat
rick Hayes Bureau of the violin
recital by Jascha HeifetZ next
Sunday afternoon in Constitu-
ton Hall. Special blanks have
been prepared for ticket buyers
to specify that the admission
price be given to the Foundation.
This contest will be Nation
wide and include all kinds of per-
forming musicians. American
citizenship is required and the
applicant must be under Is years
of age. A stiff musical list is be-
ing set up for additions. hoping
to unearth some exceptional tai
ent. Working on all these angles
has enlisted the time and effort
of most of the membership, with
additional burdens placed on the
Foundation Board. These mem
bers will select the candidates
from the applications and pass
on to the Board of Governors of
the club for confirmation. A final
committee of nationally known
judges will decide the award. The
basis of choice will be scholastic
background, natural musical tai
ent and ability. application to
musical studies, desire for a mu-
sical career, emotional stability
and actual performance.
Makes Capital One of the Leaders.
The idea Of a foundation was
formed at the 60th celebration
of the founding of the Friday
Morning Music Club. Incorpora-
ton Of the foundation was made
shortly thereafter ito promote
and provide musical education for
especially gifted and1or needy
students" After a long record
of maintaining the cultivation of
music in this city on a high level
as a club, these public spirited
women have instituted a means
of extending their influence
throughout the country. This is
an important step in making the

II one wonders what has be-
come Of the countless number of
people who have studied music
at some period in their life, the
answer is to be found in the musi-
cal clubs. They have become the
backbone Of musical progress in
this country. Musicians Of fine
training and knowledge have been
working in groups such as those
in Washington for decades.
Through their experience, they
know well the needs of young
talent and are trying to smooth
the way that will lead to future
artistic blossoming in the United
States. What is particularly graf
flying is the prestige being given
to Washington by these worth
while efforts OF the two local
groups. This is even more Inn
portant to our cultural standing
than the list Of public concerts
by visiting artists.
