II THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY. MAY 4. 1956 I I X56 MAY FESTIVAL: Ormandy Says 'Audiences Are Alike' /I Al "These students," Ormandy said, "attended the Festivals. Here they heard some of the greatest music ever performed by one of the world's great orchestras and, by some of the world's greatest artists. This gave them an inspiration when they left college-an inspira- tion that enabled them to carry on in their own communities as heads of some of the civic concert or- ganizations working for the better- ment of music." The Maestro's message advised students "to think about how much the Festivals meant to students in the past and how much benefit they derived from the Festivals. Present day students," he said, "should also, be able to benefit from the Festivals." Praises Sink During the interview, Conduc- tor Ormandy pointed out the part played by Musical Society presi- dent Charles A. Sink. "Dr. Sink," Ormandy said, "has been and is one of the most co- operative festival heads I have ever met and worked with anywhere in the world. It is a joy to work with this man. He works hard and doesn't let an opportunity go by" should there be a chance of billing "the greatest available talent." Ormandy has conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra in 20 con- secutive May Festival series. "We always try," Maestro Eu- gene Ormandy concluded, "to make each concert enjoyable."

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Following Is the fourth in a series of articles cov- ering this year's May Festival.) By RENE GNAM 1 "Programs for a concert are con-' structed like a house is construct- ed-architecturally correct." Eugene Ormandy was speaking. "The works, that is, the sym- phonies, must fit the construction of the building. In other words, you have to serve a musical menu to cover the six concerts of 'the' Festival. You, have a great oppor- tunity to serve a perfectly bal- anced musical menu, a menu which. must list works of the masters, as well as include compositions of composers of the present." In an interview yesterday, Eu- gene Ormandy, distinguished con- ductor of the Philadelphia Orch- estra, commented on University Musical Society's annual May Fes- tival concert series. "Year after year;" he said, "this is something we all look forward to. We have given between 140 and 150 concerts this year, and the Festival is actually the climax of our season. "This Festival," Maestro Orman-, dy said, "has not only been built on a great orchestra, stars and choruses, but also on the music. People Love the Music "People who come to a concert come because they love great mu- sic and want to hear, accept and enjoy it," he said. When queried as to whether there are any differences between University audiences and those of the "outside world," Maestro Or- mandy replied, "it is my firm con- viction that there is no basic dif- ference between audiences any- where. All audiences,", he said, "love great music. That is Why they come to concerts. Their love for good music is what makes them alike." Conductor Ormandy arrived in Ann Arbor shortly after noon yes- terday. In his guest room at the League, he relaxed for a moment and formed a message to the stu- dents of the University, a message which the Maestro bases ".. . on having met many former students of the University who are now in important position all over the world.
