MISS PORTER ATTENDS
NATIONAL MUSIC
CONFERENCE
Organizations Met In St.
Louis March 21 to
April 1
The Music Educators’ National
Conference with all its associated
organizations met in St. Louis March
21-April 1. We (Nancy McNeely
and myself) arrived just in time to
hear part of a concert by the St.
Louis Symphony Orchestra. Vladi
mir Golochmann conducted Sunday
night. "Having driven about 400
miles that day, however, we were
much too tired to appreciate the
vigorous D major symphony by Si
belius, which formed the last half
of the program and which was the
only part we heard.
Outstanding in the first general
session on Monday morning was the
short concert by the Joplin, Mo.,
high school orchestra, an excellent
group with symphonic instrumenta
tion. This orchestra played bril
liantly five difficult numbers, clos
ing with the Finale from the 5th
Symphony by Tschaikowsky. Such
a performance set the pace for a
5-day conference which had for its
general theme the celebration of
one hundred years of music teach
ing in the schools of America. We
felt that the hundred years had
been most productive, judging by
performances given at the confer
ence by such organizations as the
Joplin orchestra, the Clayton, Mo.,
■boys' choir, the Haven School Junior
Boys Glee Club from Evanston, HI.,
the Kansas State Teachers College
Madrigallians, the Newcomb-Tulane
a Cappella Choir, the Central High
School Vocal and Instrumental En
semble from Detroit, and many oth
ers.
The exhibits alone were worth go
ing to the conference to see. About
80 different firms had materials of
all sorts on display. The recorder
seems to be the newest thing out;
it can now be used at moderate
cost in schools go that the chorus,
orchestra, or soloists can make rec
ords of their performances and criti-.
cise themselves for further study.
Many new and attractive books on
composers, operas and various phases
of musio appreciation, written in
simple language and large print suit
able for the elementary school li
brary, were on display. Exhibitors
vied with each other to win the
attention of the visiting conference
members—nearly all of them were
giving away something and we catne
out with our arms loaded with free
notebooks, candy, matches, a baton,
several smaple copies of magazines,

ORCHESTRA GIVES
CONCERT
Miss Hazel Horton Read
Directs Annual Musical
Program
On Monday evening, April 4, in
Memorial Hall, a large audience at
tended the annual concert of the
Salem College String Orchestra un
der the direction of Misa Hazel
Horton Read.
The opening number, a classical
composition, "Sarabande et Tam
bourin’’ by Lecklais, was performed
with vigorous and beautiful phras
ing.
In Tschaikowsky’s “Scherzo” ef
fective contrast was achieved be-
tween the fine rhythmic precision
and the romantic melody of the first
part played, with richness of tone,
and the brilliant ending of the third
section.
The climax of the concert, per
haps, came when Miss Christine
Dunn and Miss Katherine Snead
played the difficult Bach “Concerto
in D Minor For Two Violins- ’ ’
They were ably accompanied at the
piano by Miss Sarah Linn.
In the concluding number, Mozi
art’s “Symphony in G Minor,” tho
orchestra gained great praiste and
applause for its vigorous playing
and comprehensive interpretation
of the sudden S forzandos arid Syn
copations.
The efficient conductor. Miss Bead,
throughout the concert, showed her
comprehensive grasp of the subtle
ties of music.
Miss Anna Withers gave capable
orchestral support at the organ for
the last number.
Miss Sarah Linn, accompanist,
gave understanding and sympathetic
support.
