Chicago Symphony to Give
Performance Here May 18
As part of a western tour, the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra will
perform in concert at the Univer
sity May 18. 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
