In Duet

Mrs. Howard Mitchell. wife
of the Musical Director Of
the National Symphony Or
chestra, entertained commit
tee chairman Of the SYM
phony's Sustaining Fund
drive at luncheon in her resi-
dence yesterday.
This was the first such
luncheon given by Mrs.
Mitchell, and she went to
some trouble to show how
grateful the symphony is to
the women who help keep 1t
going.
The dishes on the buffet
table-all her handiwork-
included seafood casserole.
ham, salad. cheese and fruit
compete for dessert.
The committee chairmen
had come from q rehearsal
Of last nights concert, held
at 11:15 am. for all the vol
unteer workers In the drive,
and while they didn't get q
preview of the new Robert
Evett Symphony, they did
hear violinist Henryk Szeryng
perform.
Before the luncheon ended
DR.. Mitchell appeared to chat
with the women for q while.
He had come from another
symphony luncheon, given by
Mr.. Ray Henle. chairman of
the Hospitality Committee, to
honor Mr.. Szeryng and Mr..
Evett.
The Henle luncheon was
held In the Executive Room
Of the Hay-Adams Hotel,
with leading supporters Of the
orchestra among the guests.
The famous violinist
brought along his Stradivar-
ius and Guarnerius, which he
carries with him for safety's
sake, and explained that the
spare" violin was there to
reach for in case he popped
a string last night while
playing the Tchaikovsky Con-
certo.
Nathan Milstein did, while
playing the same piece with
the National Symphony. and
had to demand the concert
meister's instrument.
DR.. Mitchell, music critics
present and Mr.. Evett, whose
First Symphony had its world
premiere last night, discussed
the responsibility Of conduc-
tors and orchestras to per-
form new works.
Mr.. Evett said the duty, II
1t exists. should not keep an
orchestra from being selec-
tive: DR.. Mitchell observed
that the duty included some
obligation to present new
works well received elsewhere,
and The Stars Music Critic
Irving Lowens remarked that
conductors and performers
should pick new music they're
temperamentally favorable to,
to make the performances
more meaningful.
Among Mr.. Henle's guests
were Mrs. Marcella DUPONT,
Mr.. George Ferris. jr.. Mr..
David L. Kreeger (who. with
his wife, entertained for
Messrs. Evett and Szeryng
