Top Soloists Arc Essential Says
Portland Symphony Conductor
The problems of preparing a symphony season were discussed
Wednesday by Portland symphony conductor Theodore Bloomfield at a
luncheon of Salem Rotarians in, the Hotel Marion. ,
Bloomfield, who took over the Portland conducting baton in 1935,
said that the planning of a symphony season usually begins about 12
months before the first concert.
A vital decision must be made
as soon as possible, he said, to
decide upon bow. many concerts
will be played. "Last year,"
Bloomfield said, "the symphony
played 10 concerts. This year they
will perform in 11"
The symphony audience respond
ed favorably to this move and tick
ets have been selling better than
last year even with a price in
crease. The question of soloists must al
so be decided upon as early as
possible because of the enormous
demand for well-known artists. "It
stands to reason," he said, "that
the caliber of soloist to be en
gaged depends on how much mon
ey the symphony has to spend."
Another disadvantage, he said,
is that top soloists are hesitant
about coming to the West Coast
unless additional booking in sur
rounding cities can be made.
Regardless of the difficulties in
volved, Bloomfield said, top solo
ists are essential. "Last year," he
said, "they were more responsible
for a record season than any other
factor."
Size of Orchestra Important
Another problem facing season
planners is the size of the sym
phony orchestra. The conductor
stated that for ' many years the
Portland symphony had been com
posed of 68 musicians. "I felt we
needed additional string players
and the request was granted."
When the symphony opens its
Salem season Tuesday evening the
orchestra will have 77 musicians.
"In order to get these music
ians," Bloomfield said. "I attend
ed auditions in New York, Chica
go, Los Angeles, Cleveland and
Rochester."
There will even be several in
stances during the season when
extra musicians will have to' be
hired. For example during a forth
coming performance of "The Pines
of Rome," the orchestra will have
a strength of 80 players.
Programming, too, presents prob
lems , according to Bloomfield.
"Not only does a concert have to
have variety and balance but it
should also be aware of its re
sponsibility to the orchestra, city
and audience."
Contemporary works, he
said
have a tendency to be resisted by
