LETTERS TO EDITOR
Kasigluk, Alaska May 15, 1863

Kasigluk, Alaska May 15, 1863 Dear Sir:
 received your nice letter regard- ing my letter I wrote on April 24th and again l want to tell you how much I enjoy the Tundra Times news; mostly stories like Whaling Regulations Made and Adult Edu- cation Booms.'
 Henry Charles, who is helping you sell Tundra Times, is my dad so I helped him a couple of times. I hope there will be more people from this village to join your Tun- dra Times News.
 Well, I'll have to sign off now. Best wishes and regards to your staff.
 Sincerely,
 Elizabeth Brink

Last Sunday in Kansas City,
some very tired music critics
from all over the United
States and Canada brought
their 18th annual conference,
workshop, shOptaIkfest, and
busman's holiday to an end.
Of the many musical events
which were heard and dis
cusse d, one In particular
struck me as being particular
ly noteworthy.
On the evening before adj
Journment, everybody went
out to Temple B'nai Jehudah
In the suburbs to hear the
first of the seasons sO-called
"ConnoiSseur Concerts" a
five-event series which Con-
ductor Hans Schwieger and
the Kansas City Philharmonic
have been presenting with in
creasing success over the past
six years.

Nevertheless, approximate

hear a program consisting Of
a concerto for strings and
percussion by the Swe dis h
dodecaphonist Sven-Erik
Back, the First Symphony of
Roger Sessions with the COM
poser as guest conductor),
and the Symphony in One
Movement by Irwin Bazelon-
a world premiere.
And They Listened
Not only did the audience
turn out-they listened, and
listened with keen apprecia-
ton and intelligence.
The "Connoisseur Concerts"
are devoted to offbeat music,
but there was no walking out
in the middle Of things, such
as recently occurred in New
York at Philharmonic Hall
during the first performance
of Alberto Ginastera's new
violin concerto, or such as
regularly occurs here at the
National Gallery during the
course of Richard Bales in

annual American Music Fes-
tival.
The "Connoisseur Concerts"
are a tribute to Hans
Schwieger, a conductor with a
decided flair for verbal COM
munication, a sharp sense Of
duty to the living composer,
and an unusually sympathetic
comprehension Of the musical
vocabulary Of today.
Mr.. Schwieger talks to his
audience informally about the
music he is about to perform,
but never In patronizfng fash
ion. He lets his listeners in on
secrets; he does not pretend
that everything he plays is a
masterpiece. The idea is to
keep the interested musie-lov-
er In touch with recent devel-
opments, to let him know
what is going on.
An Informed Audience
This kind Of adult approach
has paid handsome dividends,
and ! doubt that many other
American cities could match
the kind Of informed audience
Mr.. Schwieger has created in
Kansas City.
The conductor Is frank to
admit that the regular, down.
town series Is normally con-
sentative perhaps even alb
normally conservative. But
the two worlds are not entirely
separate, since a very sue
cessful "Connosseus Con-
certs" piece may well be
repeated later on the ''Music
Hall Concerts"
Mr.. Schwieger fights for his
"ConnoiSseur Concerts" and
does not counternance any
attempt to cut back on them.
Their support is the price he
exactS from the Kansas City
Philharmonic weather. pa
irons in exchange for the
fairly peaceful evenings he
gives them in the regular
series.
His is an ingenious half
solution to one of the most Sc
rious of all musical problems:
How do you get a sympathetic
ear for the live composer?
Would it work in Washing
ton? Pm not at all sure the
answer is Eyes," but the idea
is surely well worth serious
consideration.
