The orchestra is under the direction of Jean Mar tinon, a former student of both Albert Roussel and Charles Munch. The Chicago Symphony is the nation’s third oldest symphony orchestra, following the New York and Boston orchestras. Be ginning in 1891 as a full-time cultural addition to Chicago and its stockyards, the orchestra has since grown to 103 musicians, making up what Igor Stravinsky called “the best orchestra in the world.” The symphony performs not only on tours, but also in sub scription concerts, and popular concerts—established in 1914 to "bring the best of music to the people at modest prices.” It aso travels around the Chi cago school system, holding con certs and demonstrations in grammar and high schools. Last March the symphony held two concerts of contemporary music at the University of Chicago un der a Rockefeller Foundation . Grant. The basic orchestral season is 30 consecutive weeks, but, as ba sic seasons go, a five-week tour season has been added to the or iginal season. Has Permanent Base The Chicago Symphony oper ates from a permanent base, Or- i chestra Hall, during its season. The symphony was the first in the country to have a permanent home. Early leaders of the Chicago Symphony became tired of search ing Europe for their musicians and began an apprentice orches tra of their own. The apprentice Civic Orchestra was founded as a trainer and supplier for the Chi cago Symphony and other U.S. orchestras with native American players. The Civic Orchestra is an in formal edition of the Chicago Symphony, comprised of an as sorted number of instruments and various costumes such as sneakers and loafers with knee socks. Mu sicians’ ages vary from 20 to 40. About 50 members of the 103 musicians in the Chicago Sym phony are graduates of the Civic Orchestra. Currently there arc 50 members in the Civic group. Jean Mortinon Director Director of the Chicago Syni phony, Jean Martinon, took over direction of the orchestra in 1963. Martinon was born in France and studied violin at the Paris National Conservatory, where he was an outstanding student. He also studied compos ing. He was later awarded the Grand Prize of Paris for h i s “Psalm 136—Song of the Cap tives.” Martinon composed this work following the war and a pe riod as a German prisoner of war. Before he assumed leadership of the Chicago Symphony, Mar tinon appeared as a guest con ductor with the orchestra in 1960 and 1962. The symphony will play three works when it appears May 18 Rossini's overture to “The Jour ney to Kheims,” Roussel’s Sym phony No. 3 in G minor, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major ("Eroica”) will be the featured works.
