Mrs. Koussevitzky Visits
Hebrew U. Collection

JERUSALEM—Olga Koussevitz-
ky, widow of the late conductor
Serge Koussevitzky arrived in Is-
rael as guest of the Hebrew Uni-
versity. During her stay she was
to visit the "Serge Koussevitzky
Collection of Orchestral and Cham-
ber Music" at the music depart-
ment of the Jewish National and
University Library.
The Koussevitzky collection was
initiated at the end of 1948 by the
joint efforts of Mrs. Frank Cohen,
then chairman of the music library
committee o f t h e American
Friends of the University.
Dr. Koussevitzky agreed to don-
ate, as the nucleus of the collec-
tion, the extensive music library
he had built up in Europe which
had been evacuated during World
War II to Aix-les-Bains.
A committee under the chair-
manship of Leonard Bernstein
included, among others, com-
posers Aaron Copland, Roy Har-
ris, Virgil Thomson and Ernst
Tech, conductors Dimitri Mitro-
poulos, Charles Munch, Fabien
Sevitzky and Bruno Walter, and
instrumental and vocal artists
Marian Anderson, Yehudi Menu-
hin, Robert Merrill, Gregor Pia-
tigorsky, Artur Schnabel, Isaac
Stern and Jenny Touren. The
committee was set up to sponsor
the supplementing of the collec-
tion and present it to the univer-
sity in tribute to Dr. Koussevitz-
ky on his 75th birthday in 1949.
The collection finally included
over 2,000 items of great musical
importance and value.
Mrs. Koussevitzky has continued

Koussevitzky's performances with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
A further 60 long-playing records
of contemporary music, her latest
gift, is due to arrive in Israel
shortly.

Social Justice Fund

KANSAS CITY (JTA) —Congre-
gation Bnai Jeudah has established
a Temple Social Justice Fund to
support vitally needed community
projects and to help economically
underprivileged students. The syna-
gogue said contributions were in-
vited in any amounts and that they
would be acknowledged directly
and through the synagogue bulletin
as with all other special purpose
funds of the congregation.
