POTPOURRI
Last Monday there was a note of pessimism in the valley
about the Portland Symphony orchestra concert. Ticket sales had
been slow, we were told, and sponsors were bracing themselves
for a big deficit. But somehow, the tide turned and a marvelous
audience of 1600 persons turned out Wednesday night. The after
noon audience had been small, but the hour was an awkward
one for most persons.
In spite of the big audience, we learn that still the venture
lost money. It costs a great deal to transport a large group of
musicians around the state, but many are still hopeful that the
symphony can continue to go on tour - perhaps every other
year if not annually. To hear a program of good symphony music
can be a marvelously exciting and enriching experience it
was so Wednesday night and we believe that the entire state
should be brought into the effort to support the Portland group.
The exciting evening was longer for those who went on to
Hocue Valley Country club to (he reception given by the Peter
Brit Music and Arts association for the musicians. Not only was
there food and drink and good conversation, but there was more
music.
To the surprise of some - but noi 10 omers lour or nve
of the orchestra members hardly stopped lor a bite to eat before
starting a jam session. One of the bass viol players took to the
piano and gathered around were James Smith, that fabulous
trumpet player, a trombonist, an exceedingly active drummer in
love with the sound of the cymbals, and a double bass player.
Whether you thought this off-the-cuff jazz was wonderful or awful
depended upon who you were. At least one adjective could be
agreed upon it was loud.
In more than one way the after parly was as successful as
the concert had been. It wasn't a large event, but not em
barrassingly small, cither, and the refreshments and decorations
met with the guests' favor. It is not often that one sees such
imaginative use of flowers and other decorative material for a
reception. For the refreshment table Mrs. Fred Konschot took
small, pale colored chrysanthemums and massed them in a
mound on which she placed a violin and a scroll of music. It
was a conversation piece all evening.
Also noteworthy was the arrangement near the dining room
door which was the brain child of Pauline Bush. With a small
irno a cello and a music stand she recreated the cover illustra
tion on the Britt Music festival program used for the Britt Music
festival last summer in Jacksonville.
Each table in the dining room held small bouquets and a
large tray of enormous dahlias in rich colors was placed in the
hall near the entrance.
Here's a story we learned from a friend waiting on the street
coiner for the light to change. A young girl came to the door
selling candy for a group to which she belongs and the prospec
tive customer, deciding she should find out first for what purpose
the money would be used, asked "What's it for?" Unhesitatingly
the girl said, "To eat." O.S.
