I North Carolina Syjnphony Orchestra, State-Supported, To Give Concerts The North Carolina Symphony or chestra, only state - supported musical group in America, was originzted in 1932, largely through the enthusiasm of a native comp s er and musician, Lamar String field. Later with WPA money, he carried on, supplementing the orig inal personnel with a group of im pecunious musicians — profession al and amateur. But when the need for wages largely disappeared from the situation, the orchestra had taken firm roots in the sunny North Carolina soil. Now its mem bers are unpaid (except for a small honorarium) musicians who overcome formidable handicaps to get together for rehearsals and1 concerts. Dr. Benjamin Swalin, Conductor, travels all over the state before concerts holding sec tional rehearsals to keep the or chestra in trim. The orchestra will play for a con cert in Raleigh on Saturday, April 7 and again on Monday, April 9, at Durham. In 1943, a determined lobby of music lovers descended upon Ral eigh; secured their first appropria tion to help defray expenses. North Carolina is a state of many : small towns, but no metropolis (largest city has barely 100,000 pop- 1 ulation). No one community, there- : fore, can support a large and con tinuing symphony orchestra. But the state can, and the state’s sym phony, roving all the way from the mountains to the seashore (a distance of over 500 miles) has brought good music to people who never knew there was more to music than the latest output of tin pan alley. Now, Beethovan and Mo zart are enriching the lives of peo ple, some of whom otherwise have a diet larselv comDosed of corn bread and mollasses. In accomplishing this, the orches tra has developed an espirt de corps which seems strange to peo- : pie who do not know the terrific pull music has on those who love it. Members of the orchestra are scattered over a territory 503 miles long, 188 miles wide. It is com posed of professors housewives, students, lawyers, house - painters, preachers, salesmen, defensework ers and a great miscellany of per sons who apparently are wiling to make all kinds of sacrifices to be a part of music - making organi zation. It is truly a citizen’s or chestra. One winter day, when all transportation was sleeted under, one member walked six miles to appear for a concert. Another member of the orches tra, a fireman on a locomotive, took his trombone along with him on train trips so he could get in a few precious minutes of practice during stops. The Luboffs—husband and wife —come to practice with their new born baby in a portable basket. A flutist arriving at the concert place, discovered he had left his flute behind. There was no bus back, so he walked five miles to his home, got his flut, and caught another bus to the concert town. 11 L A soldier - member (there are several service men in the orches :ra) found that his big harp had arrived safely, but without a key ;o its case. While orchestra mem Ders sweated anxiously, a phleg matic garage mechanic solved the problem by simply taking off the linges of the case. Most whimsical tribulation of the symphony has to do with transpor ;ation. Mrs. Benjamin Swalin, wife if the conductor, has developed a genius for packing people and in struments into passenger cars. Pirst go in the instruments, then he musicians are draped around hem as comfortably as possible, ro see a Swalin - loaded car dis gorge its contents Is an unforget able sight. The orchestra is proudest of all ’or its contribution to the musical ;ducation of Tar Heel youngsters. :t gives numerous children’s con ;erts which are free to school kids. Preceding these concerts, public ichool music teachers in the com munity “condition” their pupils to he concert. The Junior department >f the Symphony Society prepares material on the forthcoming pro gram which is mailed out to >chools several weeks in advance >f the date of the concert. Follow ng these suggestions, teachers are ible to acquaint the children with he music beforehand, so that they ire ready and eager listeners at ne concert. One of the things done before a arogram is to teach the names af the instruments by large charts. Children learn to recognize and aame them from pictures and also irom sound. . .(records are used ,vhen there are no players in the aommunity to demonstrate for hem.) In Chapel Hill, however, aefor.e the first concert of the sea son several symphony players vent into the schools, and played or various grades. Another devide ;o help the children listen appre aiatively to a symphony is to teach :hem to sing the themes or to play t h e m on their tonettes. At the Chapel Hill concert a group of to lette players introduced the last movement of the Beethoven Sixth Symphony by playing the opening heme for the audience. Following his, the entire audience of young ters sang the theme. The children enjoy listening to stories about the composers whose vorks are to be played, and they also love to hear anecdotes about ;he pieces. They are especially in terested in hearing about the young soloists who play with the orches ,ra, and after concerts these young artists are besieged for autographs ay their admiring listeners. Sometimes the children carry heir preparation for a concert into another medium, such as painting. Recently a group of children be came so interested in the music of “Peter and the Wolf” that they set to work to paint a frieze, telling the story of this fairy tale. Another activity they like is to learn. how to conduct the way Swalin does, so they practice the conductor’s motions for different kinds of time before the concert. Then they watch him carefully to see if he really does it! Listening to records ahead of time, and acquainting the children with the program is the secret of their enjoyment of a concert. There is no wiggling in a children’s audi ence when they really know the music. At the children’s concert, a com mentator outlines simply the back bround of the music. He also intro duces the various instruments, ex plaining their parts in the orches tration. As a consequence, the appear ance of the N. C. Symphony Or chestra is an exciting event in the lives of school children, an event which stretches over several weeks climaxed by the appearance of the orchestra itself.
