Art Burgin trying to stir something up in Barrie Examiner Photo School for instrumental music dream of symphony conductor 1n the basement of Art Burgins home on Grove Street theres door marked Barrie School of Brass Behind that door is room full of trumpets and trombones French horns and flutes stacks of sheet music and even an ancient bass that Burgin is trying to repair Burgin is conductor of the Huronia Symphony Orchestra and parttime music teacher at Banting Memorial High School in Alliston He used to teach fulltime in Alliston but when the enrolment in the schools music program drop ped this year he switched to teaching halfdays and moved toBarrie Now hes trying to set up Barries first fulltime in strumental music school Music students in Barrie have plenty of piano and guitar teachers to choose from but no one teaches private lessons for Glenn Goulds Toronto the first in series of TV programs about major brass woodwind and string in struments Morley Calvert head of music at Central Collegiate has summer school for band members but think Barrie is ready for fulltime school here says Calvert as he pro udly shows off his collection of instruments We should be able to provide place here PROVIDE SPACE Burgins music school may only occupy one room now but he hopes to find building somehwers in the city that could provide space for and ful of teachers as well as rehearsal space for other music groups Then the school could be like musical hub for the area he explains Burgin says the school could be used by groups like the symphony other adult bands and large choruses like the Mello Blends Burgins plans for such building even include future recording studio Burgins plans are am bitious but he believes the in terest in music exists to justify an instrumental music school its just question of getting students involved Right now many students travel to Toronto to get private instruction Burgin thinks they should be staying in Barrie And these music students should be getting lessons at an earlier age Burgin says Toronto students who move in to Simcoe County have head start because band in struments are taught in elementary school in Toronto Except for the string pro grams offered by two Barrie elementary schools Simcoe County has nothing to offer students until they reach high cities of the world took viewers on whimsical tour of

summ ed up the programs approach to Toronto the city may be the ostensible subject of the show but it was the personali ty of Gould that came across most effectively The choice of Gould as tourist

Toronto sights the CN tower City Hall the CNE the Mariposa Folk Festival Eatons Centre and the Science Centre The Toron to that Gould describes is the Toronto familiar to those that have never set foot in the city but his narration brimming with whimsy and wit makes even his most casual com ments sound interesting LIKES NORTH YORK Gould likes the anonymity the Brazilialike quality of North York His first reac tion to the Eaton Centre is an exclamation of its absurdity The CNE is an amazing anachronism shot of the old city hall produces the observation that the building patterned after jail

with song by school level Burgin wants to teach beginners He also wants to stir up something in Barrie BE EFIT SYMPHONY If he does succeed in stirring up someting in Barrie Burgin knows the Huronia Symphony will benefit too His plans for music school are tied in with the future of the symphony The more band students there are the greater the number of musicians the symphony can draw on for membership Burgin wants to see strong junior string program developed in the schools Hed like to see music courses of fered at the community col lege level so high school students who want to pursue music can stay in Barrie after they graduate Burgin has plenty of ideas for making music stronger force in Barrie Its an open question how many of those ideas will come to pass But for Burgin who can look back on career that includes stints with the Toronto Symphony the York Symphony the CBC Symphony and the National Ballet Orchestra music has alwys been the central focus on his life He wants to help young people who share his love of music The oneroom music school is just beginn ing 50 Financial position strong the examiner Saturday Sept 29 1979 Orchestra begins 13rh season By STEPHEN GALER Of The Examiner As the Huronia Symphony Orchestra begins its 13th season this fall it can take some pride in the strong inan cial position resulting from successful 197879 season The orchestra does face some pro blems the junior and youth orchestras are one weak area but the community orchestra has attracted new players to replace those that left in the spring and the three concerts planned for this season look promising Every fall the symphony organizes Symphony Week in Barrie with the aim of promoting the orchestra and attracting new subscribers Symphony week begins tonight with the annual symphony ball at the Holiday Inn and continues through to Oct The mall concerts usually planned for the end of Symphony Week have been delayed because of Thanksgiv ing and will be held Oct 13 at Bayfield Mail On Oct 28 the orchestra travels to Alliston to perform benefit pops concert for the CONTACT organization The first of the orchestras three Barrie concerts will be Nov 18 at Georgian College Theatre when violinist Donald Reed and pianist Desmond Maley perform concertos by Kat chaturian and Paganini March the orchestra per forms with the King Edward Choir in concert at Central Collegiate The final concert of the 197980 season will be May 11 at the collegell theatre featuring soprano Diane Loeb from Ottawa CURRENT STRENGTH The current strength of the orchestra is 43 musicians about equal to the size of the orchestra when it was formed in 1966 The orchestra evolved from string orchestra directed by Lloyd Tufford then organist at the Collier Street United Church With help from cofounder Muriel Leeper professional pianist and music teacher Iufford got the Huronia Symlt phony off to strong start Jack Montague was the first conductor he conducted the orchestra for three years until 1969 After four difficult years Arthur Burgin took over direc tion of the orchestra in 1973 When we founded the sym phony it was our natural hope that it would be large enough to play the standard sym phonic compositions recalls Tufford And from the begin ning the orchestra has drawn players from outside Barrie In fact 10 of the founding ADMIIIANCE Rssrmcrso Mom in mm 00 ALA

string players this year says conductor Burgin theres shortage of brass musicians NEED SPONSORS The orchestra has travelled outside Barrie to perform oon certs in Midland Collingwood and Orillia Burgin says hed like to see more concerts out of town but adds that spon chestral tours One development that ex cites Burgin is the possibility of hiring professional string quartet to work with the or chestra The orchestras board of directors has approved the money for such project but Burgin says hes having trou ble finding quartet willing to come to Barrie once week to enteinment work with the orchestra Another problem is the lack of proper rehearsal space and storage space for instruments The orchestra holds regular rehearsals at Collier Street Church Burgin would like to find rehearsal hall that would allow all three or chestras the junior youth and senior orchestras to rehearse in the same space NAC season gloomy one OTTAWA CP The Na tional Arts Centre Orchestra and choir will perform Beethovens Ninth Symphony with its Ode to Joy next week to mark the start of its 11th season but the rest of the NACs 10th anniversary is pretty joyless Apart from the artistic and touring success of the or chestra conducted since its in ception by Mario Bernardi the centre decided last spring it had little else to celebrate and the time was not right for big birthday bash Built at an initial cost of $46 million inflation and budget cuts for at least two years hae meant pennypinching in all departments With little new to offer in imaginative pro gramming subscription ticket sales for the 197980 season are faltering Compounding the financial difficulty is fear and uncer tainty about how the new C0n servative Governments policies will affect it The Con servatives campaigned to have $1million special theatre grant for natianIL unity returned to the treasury and left hints around that the cen tre might be left to its own devices to survive if it can as commercial venture Nothing as drastic is ex pected now that the Conser vatives are in power however The Slmillion and more has been spent on creating English and French resident theatre companies and the Govemment showed last week in restoring $2million to the Canada Council budget that more money is available for the arts though none of it has yet been earmarked for the NAC The centres budget for family
