The Philharmonic Guild of
Southern Oregon held a lunch
eon at the country club Friday
to discuss matters relative to
the coming concert of the Phil
harmonic orchestra on January
29. The orchestra, composed of
local musicians, was formed last
year under the direction of Rich
ard D. Werner.
Featured' as guest artist at
the next concert will be Paulena
Carter, well known west coast
pianist.
The newly organized Phil
harmonic guild operates on an
informal non-off;cer, non-minutes
basis, and is expected to
become a permanent aid to the
the promising, fast-growing Phil
harmonic Orchestra. Its various
functions include the handling
of publicity, ticket-selling, ad
ditional fund-raising by such
means as a tentatively planned
spring fashion revue, and many
other projects. In short, it will
serve as general morale-booster
and public relations custodians,
so essential to the succes of any
civic endeavor. Chairman for
the guild is Mrs. Tom Popham.
"Any- organization which can
bring worthwhile entertainment
to a community and at the same
time serve as a stimulus for its
performers to progress and give
of their very best,, is highly de
sirable in any community," Mrs.
Popham stated. "Certainly such
an organization has long been
needed in southern Oregon. With
two concerts now to its credit,
tne second showing vast- im
provement over the first, the
Philharmonic orchestra promises
to be the answer to this crying
musical neefl.
As was pointed out by Mrs
Werner at the guild meeting,
it is the aim of Mr. Werner to
present concerts both varied and
interesting. Along with heavier
music, program will include
light, popular selections: an all-
German program; an all Tsch-
aikowsky program; an all-op
eratic one, featuring famous in
termezzos and overtures. Mr.
Werner feels that in this wav
he will please not just a favor
ed few, but everybody. His
major purpose is to produce
well-attended concerts, of a type
the public will look forward to.
As an added attraction for each
concert it is planned to present
an outstanding guest artist from
metropolitan area.
Addfng greatly to the orches
tra's status are several recent
improvements such as excellent
bassoon and oboe players, and
additional cellos and violins,
making for a much better string
section. Also, new interesting
music has been purchased for
the orchestra library. With rea
sonable cooperation, Mr. Wern
er, should be able to build his
orchestra to one deserving re
spect and admiration from the
best, it is believed. Acting as
his assistant director is John
Drysdale.
Present at the Guild meeting
were Mesdames H. P. Bosworth
Jr., James Collins, Ira Bolling
er, Ralph Matlack, G. B. Dean,
H. C. Drew, R. E. Bebb, O. L.
Williams, W. H. Bresee, James
Stevens, Vinson Vaughan, Almus
Pruitt, Richard Werner, Tom
Popham, all of Medford, and
Mesdames R. C. Burgess and
