The Orchestra The Orchestra has again increased in size. This year the balance of instru- ments was even better. In the Christmas Concert with the combined Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, in spite of the minimum number of rehearsals, performed re- markably well. As one master was heard to remark. I actually enjoyed listening to the Orchestra this year. The spring was highlighted by two events, the Festival Orchestra Concert and the Concert given in the Library by the Orchestra. The Festival Orchestra, with eleven schools participating, was conducted by Nathan Gottschalk. The first movement of Beethoven's Piano Con- certo No. 1 was the greatest success. Karen Brant from Dana Hall was the soloist. Corelli's Concerto Grosso No. 3 was also played well. Jim Freeman, Mrs. Freeman, and Katy Day were soloists in the Spring Concert given in the Library. Mrs. Freeman and jim were accompanied by the Orchestra in Karl Ditter's von Dittersdorf Concerto for Double Bass and Viola. After a very good modern composition by Quincy Porter, the concert ended with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto'No. 4. We wish the best future to Mr. Van Slyck whose departure this year leaves a long memory of the kind spirit he has had for us all.
