Composers Troubles

Performers are not the
only musicians experiencing
rough shedding.
In New York, Howard
Shanet has resigned as n1u-
sical director Of the Cooper
Unions Music in the Max
ing" series, leading to the
death Of these concerts. and
now Max Pollikoff's Music
in Our Time" series at the
YMHA is on the way out.
Both series were estab-
lished fixtures on the New
York scene, and both served
as q platform from which
composers who would have
remained unperformed were
heard. Some became leading
figures in the profession.
Mr.. Shanet resigned only
after q desperate struggle to
find money to pay for re-
hearsals, since he does not
believe in misrepresenting
difficult modern works be-
cause of inadequate perform
ances. And Mr.. Pollikcff
fought the same kind OF
losing battle.
The country'S musical life
will be considerably poorer
for the demise of both series.

Thompson, Democrat Of New
panel will be the man who
authored the resolution Gre
ating the inquiry, Represent
atiEe Robert N. Giaimo, Dem
ocrat Of Connecticut.
The resolution ordering the
inquiry came hard Of the
heels of the Metropolitan
Opera crisis during the clos
ing days of the first session
of this Congress. when the
Nets season was temporarily
Cancelled and the troubled
state of affairs in the world
of music was being brought
to the attention Of the coun-
try in emotional fashion
through Afront-page newspa-
per stories.
Labor Strikes
Although far less highly
publicized than the Met has
sic, the simultaneous strikes
by the musicians of the New
York Philharmonic and the
Philadelphia Orchestra were
plain and ominous evidence
Of the serious stresses and
strains in the world Of music
today.
What are the hearings ex-
pected to accomplish?
According to the subcom-
mittee's statement, the chief
purpose Of the hearings
sis to determine how our cul-
tural institutions may be
strengthened by improving
the economic situation of
those artists who perform in
these institutions" The eco

motion pictures and popular
music, as these fields may
have pertinence to those per-
formers who are primarily
involved in the "fine" arts,
will also be studied.
Main Questions
The questions on which the
subcommittee is seeking in
formation, as listed in invita-
tions to witnesses. are inter-
esting to null over:
What training and educa-
ton is required Of perform
ing artists?
What are the principal
sources of employment dur
ing the regular season? Dur
ing the off-season?
What opportunities exist
for performing artists outside
of metropolitan centers?
What overhead" costs do
artists bear?
What role does the union
play in the performing arts?
What are the special prob
lens of "nonprofit" pro-
ducers, and what is their role
in providing employment?
What Is the effect on
American artists of compe-
tition from abroad?
What is the effect on
American artists of overseas
production by American pro-
ducersP
Travelling Show s
This will be a travelling
show-hearings similar to. the
New York sessions are also
scheduled for San Francisco
and Washington on dates not
yet announced.
Mr.. Thompson has ex-
pressed the hope that the
subcommittee win be able to
compile the most complete
record Of the economic status
Of the American performing
artist available, and that
such q record would have
great utility in providing a
solid basis upon which leg
islation could be framed
which might strengthen cul-
tural institutions by improv-
ing conditions for perform
ing artists.
