Minneopo/is Symphony Plays
Before Largest Average Crowds
The 90-piece Minneapolis sym
phony orchestra will appear in Mc
Arthur court April 9. Starting at
8:15 p.m., the concert is open to
members of the Eugene Civic Mu
sic association and the ASUO.
Concert tours of the orchestra,
conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos,
originate at the University of Min
nesota, home of the orchestra.
In Northrop memorial auditorium
on Minnesota’s campus in Minneap
olis, the symphony orchestra plays
to the largest average concert au
diences in the United States.
The orchestra came to the Minne
sota campus in 1930 under an ar
rangement whereby it became an
integral part of the life of the in
stitution.
Students of the university are
given special season ticket rates to
encourage their attendance at con
certs.
Famed conductor of the orches
tra, Dimitri Mitropoulos, regards
the orchestra as more than a mere
machine. He believes it is an as
semblage of intensely individual and
highly responsive human beings.
DIMITRI MITROPOULOS
Mitropoulos came to the United
States in 1929 to direct a series of
concerts by the Berlin Philharmon
ic orchestra. Soon after he received
invitations to music centers
throughout the North American
continent. He was invited to as
sume the conductorship of the Min
neapolis symphony orchestra after
his debut with the Boston symphony
orchestra in 1936.
