Attendance Asked of
Festival Musicans
Hans Lampl, director of music
for the 1952 Oregon Shakespear
ean festival, expressed concern
today over poor attendance at
rehearsals of singers and instru
mentalists who have joinedthe
various groups organized for the
season.
Mr. Lampl, brought from south
ern California to direct the fes
tival music, pointed out that
the music is considered by fes
tival backers and association
members as a community proj
ect for Ashland, Medford and
adjacent districts.
"Unless evervone who has
promised to participate comes
to renearsais, we cannot nave a
successful performance," the di
rector said. "I cannot emphasize
too strongly the fact that coming
rehearsals must be well attend
ed, or the project will not be
a credit to the festival." '
The director pointed out that
people from many different cities
all over the country will be at
tending the concert and that a
poor performance will reflect
on the quality of music taught
and played here. He said "there
is much talent" in this district
and that the project can be suc
cessfully carried out if those who
promised to play and sing attend
rehearsals regularly.
The next combined rehearsal
of Medford and Ashland mem
bers of the chorus, to be held
Friday at the Episcopal parish
house in Ashland,' Mr. Lampl
declared was "very important."
Medford chorus members will
also rehearse Monday night at
Roosevelt school here.
