Students seek his unfailing and friendly counsel. His understanding helps us to resolve conflicting personal problems. We gratefully recognize his deep sense of responsibility toward the Academy. His life should be a model for our own. KP : % ' In Memoriam IN MEMORIAM To the memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a great patron of the arts, we, the students of the Philadelphia Musical Academy, offer this tribute. During his lifetime, he encouraged all who aspired to the difficult heights an artist must attain. While President, he invited many artists to perform at the White House and many in the other arts to exhibit their works. His insatiable desire to develop United States resources to their fullest, encompassed the arts especially. The expression of his cultural ambitions we may also adopt as our own: To further the a ppreciation of culture among all the people, to increase respect for the creative individual, to widen participation by all the processes and fulfillments of art — this is one of the fascin- ating challenges of these days. m- K? !

III! •■ « mi:. ir: Messages PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Graduating Class of 1964, you have now to meet the challenge of making a career in which your love of music will ever be an important aspect. May the pursuit of excel- lence, high ideals, and solid values contin- ually guide you in your chosen profession. As your life work continues, be it teaching, listening, or performing, see that your ex- perience s enrich you as well as those you contact. The Faculty and Friends at the Phila- delphia Musical Academy wish you the best of success. We welcome an exchange of ideas with our Alumni-to-be through the years to come, and the pleasure of sharing mutual interests in this marvelous world of music. Maria Ezerman Drake, President DIRECTOR ' S MESSAGE It is with pride that the faculty, stu- dents, and administration can look back on the current year that is just now coming to an end. Recent examination of the record shows that our students rank favorably in academic achievement with those in colleges and universities across the nation. This has been shown to be true of both the fresh- men newly admitted and the seniors about to graduate. When we also consider the Academy ' s fine musical standards, it becomes apparent that we can already boast of offering a very high quality education. However, as I look forward to coming years, I see further accomplishments and improvements at the Academy as interest in and support for our program grows. With the dedication and committment that you have already demonstrated this year, I am sure that in the future the Academy will soon become in reputation as well as in deed one of the nation ' s leading music colleges. A. Hendrik Drake, Director DEAN ' S MESSAGE There is but little doubt that the Phi- ladelphia Musical Academy falls heir to some fine talents in the field of musical endeavor and that some of them develop their potentials to the fullest. However, there is another serious responsibility that every student here must accept: the prepar- ation for better citizenship. It is to this purpose that our Academy is dedicated when requiring courses of a cultural and general academic nature. The excuse that there is not enough time to adequately practice is hardly a reason. It is merely an excuse. Look about you between classes and you will better understand. Be honest with yourselves, please. If you truly desire undergraduate recognition you must be willing to strive for it. Other- wise, consider the wisdom of registering as a special student and give yourself ample opportunity to do what you really want to do. Many of you have come for help and guidance. If you passed through prescribed admissions channels, we know a lot about you which will help us to help you. ' our problems may not be merely musical, nor even academic. They may be personal. We respect you as a person, and you will find us understanding. We wish you well, Abe Pepinsky DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ' S MESSAGE Looking back over the past four years you must be aware of the tremendous changes that have taken place at the Philadelphia Musical Academy. You have been part of an institution whose ideals and standards have been heightened by the addition of outstanding new faculty members. The past four years have been transitory ones and we, as well as you, have learned from them. Future classes will take advan- tage of our experiences and will benefit from them. May the role you played in the develop- ment of the school develop you also as a responsible, dedicated, and outstanding musician. I hope you will remember us as the years go by, and allow us to share with you the pleasures of your musical expe- riences. Maurice Kaplow, Director of Development Office Staff MARY K.

Director of Chorus Philadelphia Dance Academy Composer James DePreist, former Conservatory student, Nadia Chilkovsky, choreographer and Nicholas Nahumck scenic designer, prepare a Phi- ladelphia Dance Academy program. The Philadelphia Dance Academy is located not far from the Philadelphia Musical Academy. It is supervised by Nadia Chilkovsky, and presently enrolls fourteen students. The principles of teaching are based on strict discipline of technical study combined with complete freedom of the imagination. Special attention is given to the talented student who is guided in a highly personal manner so that he may mature as an individual artist with an independent style of dance expres- sion. Upon graduation the student is ready to become a dancer, a choreographer, a teacher and notator. On Wednesday evening, March 4, 1904, the Philadelphia Dance Academy was featured at the Plays and Players Theater. The program was divided into three parts: Chopiniana ; Sprig of Lilac , a fascinating dance based on the poem When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed by Walt Whitman, and communicating the emotional climate at the time of Lincoln ' s assassination; and an exciting jazz ballet Bagatelles ' ' .

Parents ' Organization A group newly formed at the Academy this year is the Parents ' Organization. Essential to the richest development of school family life and school reputation, this group will incorporate itself as an integral part of social activities, musical functions, and Academy benefits for stu- dents individually and for the school gen- erally. Judging by the enthusiastic support and cooperati on shown at the Covered Dish Dinner on February 13, we can be sure of a most active and successful Parents ' Organi- zation in the future. Alumni Association The Alumni Association has risen from the fact that the alumni body is the Academy ' s largest constituent body whose success in the profession of music is forever identified with the current stature of the school. Thus, it is easy to see that the alumni body has much to gain by helping the Academy in its plans of advancement. The Association hopes to sponsor the interests of the Academy and inaugurate and maintain cooperation among the Association, officers, and trustees. The Association will create scholar- ships for worthy and needy students and it will print a newsletter that will keep alumni informed of the most recent de- velopments at the Academy. The Alumni Association is, then, one of the best devices to make the Academy a first class music college. t ' ?

It is directed by Maurice Kaplow. This group, like other school organizations, has been very successful this year in regard to their performances: at the Van Pelt Auditorium of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, December 15th and March 22nd, an din Cheltenham High School, March 5th, as a feature demonstrating musical form in the third of a series of five concert- lectures given by Joseph Castaldo. They also performed Gluck ' s Orfeo on May 7th with the school ' s chorus and soloists. The highlight this year was the Chamber Or- chestra ' s WHYY television performance of Wagner ' s Siegfried Idyll and a composi- tion by Corelli over the Christmas Holidays. Among the works they have played are Octet for Winds by Stravinsky, Morgen- musik by Hindemith, Brandenburg Con- certo No. 5 in D major by Bach, S ' m- phony No. 5 in B flat major by Schubert. The members of a small group such as this gain excellent experience in learning to appreciate tones of individual instruments rather than in hearing a mass sound. The Philadelphia Musi- cal Academy String Quartet, under the artistic direction of Dr. Jani Szanto, has in a short time become a popular Chamber group. The Quartet performed for the Grace Bumbry Reception at the Bellevue Stratford, and has been playing in various con- certs around Philadelphia with much success. String Quartet Woodwind Ensemble The Academy ' s Woodwind En- semble, under the direction of VCayne Raper, is not new, but it has accomplished much this year in gaining good sound and professional ease. It is comprised of eleven pieces: three clarinets, one bass clarinet, four flutes, one French horn, one bassoon, and one oboe. The ensemble is working on such compositions as Hindemith ' s Klei- nekammer , Trois Pieces by Jacques iDert, and Beethoven ' s Quintet . Orchestra The Philadelphia Musical Academy ' s sixty- five-piece symphony orchestra, directed by Maurice Kaplow, has performed admirably this season. The first concert, presented Thursday evening, November 4th, at the Fleischer Auditorium, Y. M. H. A., included works by Wagner, Mozart, Ravel, and Hindemith. Cheltenham High School was the scene of the next concert when the orchestra appeared March 19th and performed compositions by Wagner and Mozart, as an added feature to the fourth in a series of five concert lectures by Joseph Castaldo. In existence now for ninety-four years, this widely known, active organization has been valuable to students in helping them to become familiar with the literature of the master com- posers. Equally important are the confidence and experience gained in performing for the public. Also, the publicity the orchestra receives through these appearances has benefited the Philadelphia Musical Academy. o R C H T R A Maurice Kaplov Conductor Metfibers of the Orchestra VIOLINS Rosalind Corwin, Concerimaster Paul Ginsberg Bridgett Pumpous Julian Meyer Bernard J.

Secretary; Dimitri Kauriga, Treasurer. The Music Educators ' National Conference is a pro- fessional organization for music educators and music students who are united in one corporate purpose: the advancement of music education. The chapter has already participated in the biennial national convention recently held in Philadelphia. Academy students who are members will have the opportunity to further their education by participating in campus, state, division, and national meetings, and they will have the opportunity to become acquainted with professional leaders. While the Academy chapter has just started, there are many indications the chapter will growrapidly in strength and numbers because there is enthusiastic student interest. The Da Capo staff sincerely hopes that the Academy chapter will grow in stature under Miss Weir ' s capable guidance. Library Staff Mrs. Virginia Emerson, Head Librarian THE LIBRARY The Academy library has become a center for study, listening and reading. The library has expanded its facilities through numerous gifts and purchases, including nearly 2,000 volumes from the University Club. The library has about 5,200 books, 1016 re- cordings and 200 miniature scores. The library has two record machines which are available to students for listening. Mrs. Virginia B. Emerson assumed the position of head librarian last August. Since taking her position, she has worked vigorously to make the library completely up-to- date. Miss Mary Lee serves as assistant librarian. She is a student at Drexel for her Master in Library Science.

L ' nder the inimitable and challenging direction of Robert Suderburg, the chorus has attained new heights. Outstanding performances have marked the career of the relatively new group. In the future, the Choir will tour more extensively and shows promise of becoming one of the most accomplished groups in and around Phila- delphia. For certain works requiring fewer voices, a special small chorus has been formed. These members, chosen qualitatively, have sung Stravinsky ' s Les Noces with great success and will, in the future, perform other compositions suited to their special talents. There has been someching new at the Philadelphia Musical Academy this year in the realm of activities. Football and basketball teams, managed and organized by Sheldon Kohan and compris- ed of our school ' s male students, appear- ed on the scene in good form and pro- ceeded to tie Philadelphia Museum Col- lege of Art twice in football on Nov. 31 (12-12) and December 13 (2-2), and they vanquished this same team in basketball (72-65) on April 4. Philadelphia Electric also suffered defeat at the hands of P.M.A. ' s Supersports on April 8. There are a few softball games scheduled for the end of the year and a picnic following that. These sports activities have con- tributed to the development of school spirit and a sense of fair play among the participants. Sports ' - - ■ ■ ' (t V ■ ' ' 9 4- ' ' ryj H ' . ' ' ' ? A ' . - f- jA - .... J - Social Life Besides the expected socializing at concerts and recitals, Philadelphia Musical Academy also sponsors many parties and- get-togethers in its social life. Hallowe ' en, Christmas, Valentine ' s Day, and the Spring Formal mark special days on the social calendar. School and class outings provide relaxation for both students and faculty. Whatever the oc- casion, though, everyone enjoys it, even if it be just a casual chat on the campus. Performance Hour The Performance Hour offers students an opportunity to perform in public, giving them valuable experience that will help them in their senior recital. Performance Hour gives other students the opportunity to criticize constructively other students. That skill when matured will make the student a better teacher in the future. The Academy hopes to develop both performance and critical skills. Performance Hour is, for these purposes, a center of exchange between performer and audience.

Da Capo Staff YEARBOOK STAFF The main purpose of a yearbook is to re- cord the life of a school. The task of planning a clear, logical vearbook is complex. Co-oper- ation is necessary to secure results. The editors must co-ordinate the activities of the staff. The staff must have initiative to keep its job on schedule. With such a spirit of co- operation and initiative the staff has made Da Capo a yearbook that is comprehensive in its coverage of activities at the Academy.

Delta Omicron, founded in UJOP at the C incinnati Conservatory of Music, is an international tnusic fraternity for women with collegiate and alumnae chapters throughout the U, S. and the Orient. As a professional fraternity it is a charter member of the Professional Panhellenic Association. Its student membership is limited to professional education in music; its ac- tivities promote professional competency and achievement. The Omicron Rho Chapter of Delta Omicron, installed in April 1963, has in its young life successfully presented various programs and activities, including public concerts, a reci tal on WNYC, and a debate on modern music. As the Chapter and the Fraternity continue to grow, so, too, will the close bond of friendship between P.M. A. ' s Delta Omicron sisters. c L A E FRESHMEN First Row: (Left to Right) Virginia Kreszwick, Theresa Shepanski, Barbara Vaughn, Barbara Joseph, Theresa Friday, Sylvia Walton.

Hold, so tightly to all your gay, colored balloons That nothing, Not any thing can break; Neither the wind, nor the cold; Not even the pinpoint of reality. Let the wet leaves brush your tear-streaked face, And taste the salt. To the bridge- Running! And nothing can catch you... A hand, maybe. For only a moment In your cold, clutching one. To lean over Search the black, still water. The wind—cold. Challenging the balloons, Biting your face and aching eyes. And shiver. And laugh. Welcome raindrop. Come, and kiss me. G. L. A LETTER See, here is a gap in time and space: An abyss, deep, dark and misty. Look in! There, is no figure— no heart. But reach. And fingers entangle your groping hand. A step, breathe — Walk into that fog With open eyes that cannot see. Wait. Hide in the dark leaves. There— no, here is a valley of sun and light: Blue, free. Pause here— look, and be filled. No. A step that way is back to the mist; Through the mist. The other side of the circle waits— clamors. Hold the hand tightly, so tenderly. Brush the tear away. See— how deep and green this valley, how gentle- Intrinsic music. Sunny raindrops on a shining grass. Listen! A voice outside the mist speaks— my name. Run from the valley, back With feet possessed by love. Smile to old beloved images. Touch and touch. Love— trees, not so green without the valley, Alas, forgive these. They have not known. Look. Something wants to remove the mist. No. . . . It turns leaves in the valley black and shadowed; Makes grotesque wintery trees. Love then, even this. It sees only misty shadows. Not the green and sun. It cannot quite reach. Nothing means to be clumsy. Be silent How quiet is the valley, So full and complete. To know this, for one moment; Live, love forever— outside. With eyes, kinder now. The hands— they are never separate. G. L. AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS P The University of ilie Arts Alber. M. GPS. .Sdd librar} ' (333) 320 S BAMdS a l Philadaiphi ,PA Bm 49 M THEUMIVHRSITYOFTHEARTS
