Marathon Tour
SAN FRANCISCO’S first orchestra (organised even before the city) was a group of 13 Indians trained by Spanish friars in 1827. San Francisco’s present Symphony Orchestra has 100 members. Recently it appeared in Manhattan, on the most extensive tour ever undertaken by a U.S. symphony orchestra. Its schedule was 56 concerts in 57 days and Manhattan was just about the half-way mark. The conductor, Pierre Monteux (who was Serge Koussevitzky’s predecessor in Boston 23 years ago) said: "If the orchestra is on tour or ‘not, it has to play every day. A three-hour rehearsal is much more tiring than an hour-and-a-half performance, They take this as a sort of vacation," |
