Orchestra becomes permanently established ultimately under or. Kindler s Strong musical skill the National symphony became permanently established As a splendid orchestra which admirably reflected the distinguished personage at its head. Unlike certain other american aggregations the writer has never Leard the National symphony referred to As a Pryjma Donna nor has it Ever sounded As such on any of the various occasions in has heard it. The reason of course Lay in the fact that or. Kindler was too Fine a musician and too pure an artist to indulge in anything Savouring of Mere showmanship. Prior to his coming to America in 1914, he was famous throughout Europe As a cellist of the Pablo Casals line so that it was possible to regard his later conducting much As is that of the great spaniard a medium in which he Felt he could express even More of himself than was possible through he limitations of a single instrument. Perhaps one should stress How Ever the Point that or. Kindler s self expression was always related to and governed by he music he conducted. This was always in Evi Dence when one listened to him in radio broadcasts conducting either his own or another orchestra. Of virtuosity for virtuosity s Sake alone there was never a taint. What reached one instead was the technical clarity and imaginative perception of an artist faithfully recreating the score to the utter most of his Power and free of All personal out fusions As Between music and listener. Pre-1914 cello concertos during the pre-1914 years or. Kindler s european career included appearances in cello concertos with the Best orchestras of London Berlin Amsterdam Etc., in addition to the usual round of recitals. On arriving in America he served for five years As first cellist with the Philadelphia symphony orchestra after which he returned to the recitalist ranks playing in America returning to Europe and finally in 1929, making a world tour As soloist. It was in 1927 that or. Kindler appeared As conductor of the Phila Delphia symphony at one of its series of sunday night concerts and it is said that from this Occa Sion Onward conducting began to claim much of his interest. Perhaps More precisely it May be stated that or. Kindler realized that Only on the podium and not As cellist could he carry modern music to the people because once he was Elizabeth bog och four Youthful pianists who were medallists in recent practice music examinations of the Royal conservators of music Toronto left to Elizabeth bog och 10-year-old daughter of or.

Kindler s activities would have been had he lived May be guessed from statements he made after his resignation from the National symphony. He said that he had followed a rigorous schedule with his orchestra that he was tired that there were other things he wanted to do and that he planned to spread american music throughout Europe because american music is on a constant upsurge it is Strong and Fine and vital and we must spread it throughout the make debut at 0 years born of musical parents or. Kindler was a boy Prodigy and made his debut As a cellist at the for Many Young canadians the Gap Between having a voice and having a career has narrowed Dur ing the last seven years.

John Adaskin of the musically famous Adaskin family has been alternating with Rex Battle on the East and West audition Tours for the past seven years. In isolating the most prevalent faults among the Young singers he cites two in particular inexperience and faulty voice production. Both these Are by products of youth he stresses and inexperience at. Least is not an arbitrary Barrier to the radio Competition. If we think we be discoverer a raw Gem we spend a lot Tim polishing that Gem and bringing i to radio performance h says.

The preparation pro gramme is so intensive that there no scope for jangled nerves. Apart from individual the singing stars programmes an auditions for Talent have had noticeable effect in Canadian music according to or. Mcquillin. In the first few years it was a rare occur rence to discover a Young singe with an aria or oratorio prepared now it s quite Standard. Aloiv the first contestants there was i wide spread in the degree of Talen but the Range had tightened up now to narrow limits. From this. Or. Mcquillin concludes that the singing stars project is influencing the. Standards of both teachers and students. The programme s primary Troal is to raise the Standard of singing in Canada. Inclusion of one or More oper Atic Arias in most singers repertoires does indicate an important improvement the upsurge of operatic activity in Canada has a link with Songin stars or.

During his Many years of Active participation in Winni Peg s musical life he had acted As an examiner in both practical inc theoretical music for the school. After three years of study in Man Fiesler it the Royal Man Chester College of music and at he University of Manchester he admits there arc certain factors and in ene Lish life he will miss. Specifically he will miss Ever changing Countryside of eng land the abundance of Independent music communities the variety of music programmes offered by the 3bc and the tremendous opportunities open to the English con Cert goer.

For the extracurricular touch he played the oboe in the University symphony orchestra and conducted or played the Viola in the College of music orchestra. For the latter he took All the woodwind rehear Sals. I did All these things in be come thoroughly acquainted with orchestra explains. The orientation pro Cess included everything in from Shostakovich at the College of music the stud ent body was restricted to 25, the majority of whom were taking the degree course. For All but students in composition the emphasis was on practical work. In the univer sity of Manchester the scene was More crowded since All faculties were handling 5.500 students where they were really equipped for festival after experience As an adjudicator at English festivals. Or. Gib son concludes that for Organiza Tion there is nothing to compare with the Winnipeg festival. Any comparison of the Winnipeg and the English festivals shows they attract an equal amount of very Good and very bad. In England musical life in England is thriving in most centres or. Gibson feels. The orchestral situation in London is an exception. There Are far too Many orches tras that have insufficient rehear Sal time to give first rate perform ances. The greatest contributing Factor to this state is the Lack of permanence in conductors tenure of office. The conductors Don t Sta Ong enough to impress their personalities on the orchestral in explains. Or. Gibson appears 1o respect both the intentions and the accomplishments of the British arts Council. That s what we need Over he suggests. To lags ing cultural projects cannot make Money for themselves and Finan Cial support must be forthcoming the arts Council is doing a Good Job.
