m t . FOUR ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSE BURG, OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1944. Society and Clubs ".By LOTUS KNIGHT PQRTER DOROTHY MAYNOR TO BE PRESENTED itf CONCERT IN ROSEBURG SATURDAY Saturday evening, January 29, at the Junior high school, .the Community Concert association will hold .its .first concert with borothy .Maynor as .the guest artist. .The association officers, headed by Miss Gladys H7 Strong, has expressed great satisfaction at the result of the .membership campaign apd ' In securing so wonderful an artist as Miss May nor for the first concert: ' ' Dorothy Maynor was born In Norfolk, Va., and reared in the parsonage ' of the ' :Methodlst church, where her father was (he minister. It' was a small congre gation and Dorothy's father was 'fryhig to rebuild t. So Dordfhy, her brother," rlow in .'the'army, fend her sister did their best to give it good music. Dorothy and and the sister played the organ. (That sister, incidentally, now family of her wn, a boy and three fIr)s,' one' of whom proudly lives In New York,, too, arid has a bears the name of Dorothy May nor Coleman.) At 44, she entered famed .Hampton Institute which was to beher second, pome lor the next .'seven years. ,She specialized In home economics, dross designing, dccoratjhg, raiding for ' .the ' career ' she had planned'. An ac- tlvc, normal girl, she played on .the varsity .tennis team and took a sound Interest in physical cdu cation. .Purely as a sideline, she tried out for Hampton's justly- celebrated 120-votce choir, and once snc ,mtea her voice, they never let her out of the group. When 40 of the .members were picked to tour the United States, .'she was Inevitably chosen. The success of rthat tour led to a tour , qf Europe' 'fry the same' Singers England, France, Germany, ;BelflIum Czechoslovakia, Switzer land and Austria. One of her most treasured memories is that of singing In the Mozarteum at , Salzburg in 1330. , Back at Hampton, the chojr director, Dr. Nathaniel Dctt, tried to convince her that music was her career. She refused to change her mind, he (juletly had her application cards altered to .make music her major and so she majored in both music and home economics. He Interested Miss Harriet Curtis, dean of women at Hampton, in the young , soprano, and between them they got her a scholarship at the not ed Westminster choir school' at Prlncenton, where she soon studied conducting and choir music under pr! John Flrtley, Williamson. It 'was ho who .fin ally prevailed , ijpon .her , to .make singing her career and Miss Cur tis, again! who' sornehow made financial arrangements so that 'Miss Maynor could go to New York to build .her voice and her reputation. For three years she worked .hard on ;her voice and her lan guages; getting along "on the barest minimum of money, al lotlng herself $40, a year for con cert and opera tickets, standing in line for hours often going home without dinner and almost freezing to buy standing .room. , Twice she entered music com petitions and, difficult though it is to believe, now, failed to win. Then came her "break". .In' the summer of 1939 with hundreds of other music lovers and music students, she went up to the Herkshire Music Festival and there an Interested music patron and a personal friend between them' cajoled Koussovitzky Into hearing her sing! Musical "finds" brought .forth by earnest friends were an old story to the conduc tor, but he consented to listen to her sing a few numbers In Berkshire's big G.OOO seat ,hnll after a .tiring ' orchestral re hearsal. With her first notes, Koussovit zky sat up and, when she had completed enough numbers to demonstrate the range of her abilities, Insisted that she sing next day at the picnic he an nually gives for the musicians of his Boston Symphony. Miss May nor electrified the case-hardened musicians, and nothing would satisfy Koussevltzky but that she made.ner debut the following No vember. That debut Was a sensa tional success, and in that first season she sang with four of the nation's leading orchestras the New York .Philharmonic under Barbirolli, the Boston Symphony under her discoverer, .Koussovit zky, .the Philadelphia Symphony under Oripandy and the Chicago Symphony under Stock an un precedented record for an un known singer's first season. The. rest is musical history. Only members of the Concert Association are privileged to at tend the concert, as no tickets will be sold at the door, and the membership campaign closed last Saturday for the season.
