The Philharmonic Society of Southern Oregon closed the 1956-57 season with the annual spring concert yesterday after noon at Medford High school auditor iyna. The audience was consider ably larger than those attending the first tw concerts this sea son, society board members re ported tbis morning, and there was the feeling that the final concert had been more success ful in every way Uiaa ttee iwr earlier programs. Featured Soloist Featured soloist was 1? -year-old Joanaa Lester, lyric soprane rosn Grants Pass, who won the Philharmonic Society guild au ditions earlier this spring. Making this concert of more Saan ordinary importance was ttie fact' that am ambitious com position oi toe conductor, Rich ard D. Werner, closed the pre gram. Director Werner, who has been composing for a number at years, this time 'wrote a five Esoveisent suite which he titled "Suite Rcraantique" and which fee terms "a distillation of youth ful iHijjressscms aad experieBees." First Movement The iirst movesaent, "Prome Eade" describes a Suoday after noon walk in the park, with a small band playing in the dis tance. The "Promenade" is fol lowed by an elegy, written as a memorial t a loved one, and "Valse", a tired boy's remem brance of his mother dancing gaily while he sits among the musicians. A nocturne, calm and introspective, and "Fantasia ala Marcia," described as "life marches on", are the two clos ing movements. Miss Lester, believed by many to have a voice of considerable promise, sang the "Waltz Song" from Gounod's "Romeo and Juli ette" and Musetta's waltz song from "La Boheme" by Puccini. Her accompanist was Bruho Pellegrini. Her encore was Ger shwin's "Summertime." Coffin &tvd Sue ?chestra opened the pro grasa wi-tii the overture from "SSaFth" asfl played two Rach EaasiinoifS auiabers, "Prelude in G Misaas" asad "Floods of Spring". Hiot Fisher, Ashland, ais soloist witJa the orchestra fas Watpaes't '"Adagio" for ekcsi.Be4." Kwtabe Epy la-yfe, Oscar 3Ie?i.kaHte, gossini and Liszt were played for the post-intermission program, closing with Conductor Werner's suite.
