manent conductorship of the "Twin
City" orchestra.
Numemous Substitutions
Making his first professional ap-
pearance in Hungary last summer
since his accession to one of the most
important posts in the musical world,
Mr. Ormandy was summoned from
his vacation home near Salzburg to
take over the Bruckner performance
of the Danube Festival for Bruno
Walter, noted conductor, suddenly
stricken ill. Ormandy rushed to
Linz and won unanimous critical
acclaim for his performance of
Bruckner's symphonies. He was
thus recently signed to conduct the
Danube Festival at Linz, birthplace

of Anton Bruckner, to be held ti
year from July 16 to 21.
One of the leading exponents
the music of Bruckner, Mr. Orman
was last year awarded the Kilex

Bruckner medal. The annual Aus-
;rian Danube Festival, offering music
by Bruckner, Beethoven, Mozart, and
Franz Schmidt, at Linz and St. Flor-
ian, is considered one of Europe's
great music ,festivals. Besides Mr.
Ormandy, who is the only visiting
conductor, Hans Weissback and Os-
wald Kabasta will conduct.
Leads 22 Weeks
Mr. Ormandy this year opened the
season of the Philadelphia Sym-
phony, and by the end of the season
will have led the orchestra in 22
weeks of its season. He will as well
conduct the majority of the con-
certs on the second annual coast-to-
coast tour of the orchestra, which
take the Philadelphia to leading cities
of the United States and Canada.
The busiest conductor of a major
orchestra, in addition to his other
activities, Mr. Ormandy has con-
ductor on a Sunday evening hour.

weekly on a coast-to-coast broadcast.
He will fly from various cities on tour
to make appearances as guest con-
ductor or on a Sunday evening hour.
He will use a plane to catch the

orchestra, which will continue on its
way during his absence.
Iturbi first attracted world atten-
tion as an orchestra leader when he
played 26 recitals in six weeks in
Mexico City. It was after this unique
experience that he definitely sup-
plemented his career as piano vir-
tuoso by accepting numerous orches-
tra engagements.
May Festivals
Offer Famous
List Of Chorals
The Seasons,' 'Parsifal'
'Spring Rapture' To Be
Included InProgram
Choral works have always formed
a vital part in the composition and
enjoyment of every May Festival pro-
gram, but few Festivals have ex-
ceeded this year's list of choral
works.
The principal choral work will be
the singing in concert form of Ver-
di's opera "Aida" by the University
Choral Union. This will be given at
the closing concert performance of
the Festival as the culminating fea-
tire of this year's program.
To Give American Premiere
Another choral work will also be
presented as an American premiere,
"The Seasons" by Fogg. This will
be offered by the Choral Union in the
Thursday evening concert.
Other choral works by the Choral
Union will be a group of scenes sung
from "Parsifal" by Richard Wagner,
which will be given Thursday eve-
ning.
The Young People's Festival Chor-
us will also contribute several choral
works of renown: a group of songs
by Arne, Schubert, and Scott, and
Gaul's cantata, "Spring Rapture.
These will be sung at the Friday
afternoon concert.
Imposing Works
The list of Choral works which
have been performed by May Fes-
tivals of former years has also
reached imposing proportions, and it
includes not, only world-famous
works whose fame has been perm-
anently established, but premiers of

new works by famous composers.
The "Manzoni Requiem" by Verdil
has proved to be one of the most
popular choral works to be given
during the 44 years of the Festival's;
existence, and as a proof of its pop-
ularity, it was selected for the sixth
time to be presented at last year's
Festival. It was presented at the
first annual May Festival in 1894,
again in 1897, in 1913, 1921, 1930,
and finally in 1936.
Elgar's "Caractacus," the other

choral work which was heard at last
year's Festival, he also proved to be
a favorite with the choruses as well
as with the audiences.
Two years ago in the May Festival
world premieres of two important
choral works: Lear's "Jumblies," a
children's cantata, and Hanson's
"Drum Taps." In former years May
Festival concert-goers have heard
world premiers of Hanson's opera
"Merry Mount," his "Heroic Elegy,"
and Moore's "Voyage of Anion.'

Young Vocalists Given
Advice By Melchior
"Don't think only of singing. Be
interested in many other things."
This is the advice which Lauritz
Melchior, Wagnerian tenor of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, gave.
to young vocalists. "Don't be a sing-
er and nothing more, because if you
are a one-track person, you won't
be a singer. There must be feeling
as well."
