MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE" PAGE THREE "Head Of Pye Radio Firm Pays Ajax Official Visit First C oncert Of British Electronic Officials Pay Visit To Ajax : | Community Series Receives Keys - From Manager Thrills Audience Of Development Regent Theatre on Sunday evening in the first of the A distinguished visitor from Great Britain slipped quietly into Ajax Saturday morning in the person of Charles Orr Oshawa Community Concert Association's 1948-49 musical presentations, is a little symphony of a calibre all too seldom Stanley, C.B.E., Managing Director and Chairman of the | Board of the famous British firm of Pye Limited, makers of heard in this city. This small orchestra of twenty musicians, each member gifted to the point of virtuosity, thrilled an audience which filled the theatre to capacity, and evoked an + ovation which indicated the enjoyment which came from 1pastening to a program varied in its impact on the listeners I and almost flawless in its execution. The music selected for this first® concert of the season ran through ! a broad range of composition types, yom works of the old masters down ., the most modern of dance ythms, but in each medium the ylemble showed a masterly inter- lLaation and a reserve of hidden plaabr that made the programme an anpetic triumph. Daniel Saidenberg, the ygonductor of the = Sinfonietta, livedgand breathed the music which his musicians. were interpreting. Using 'expressive hands to convey his wisijes to the orchestra, he had no graniiiloquent gestures, but had every secsion under perfect control, and drew, from each a fine per- formance. The arrangement of the orchestra was interesting, and brought out all the effects of a full-scale sym- phony in miniature. The strings were truly singing strings with a Iyrical quality that was delightful. Single instruments represented the wood-winds and brasses, with clar- inet, flute, oboe and bassoon combining effectively: with the trombone, French horn and trum- pet. The tympanist made the per- cussion section a vibrant contribu- tion to the ensemble, while the cellos and bass viol completed a talented organization. The program opened with the overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart, and the whole orchestra showed a fine under- standing of the light and airy char=- acter of the music. Greater breadth of interpretation was heard in Von Gluck's "Iphigenia in Aulis", with flute and violins joining in a gay allegro and then merging into a bold, descending passage by the horns and cellos. Outstanding Presentation Outstanding presentation on the program was that of Schubert's Symphony in B flat major, with its four distinctive movements. Here the entire resources of the little symphony were brought into play, and the final movement, the allegro vivace was executed with force, verve and finesse. Then followed Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll," a de- lightful composition illustrating the Christmas theme and performed with rare understanding of the composer's mind, The rest of the programme was devoted to music in the modern manner. Alec Templeton's "Moun- tain Whippoorwill" gave the trom- bonist, E. Erwin, opportunity for ex- hibiting his talents as a soloist, and although there seemed to be a little undercertainty at certain passages, | it was an excellent performance. De Vere Moore, played the oboe solo in Wayne Barlow's "The Winter's Need Funds To Operate Universities Toronto, Nov. 1--(CP)--Dr. G. E. Hall, president of the University of Western Ontario, said today that | lack of financial support and "the | difficulty of being constructive when forced to exist on a year-to-year basis" are making it virtually impos- sible for Canadian universities to meet their responsibilities and to do the job of which they are capable. In a speech prepared for delivery to the Canadian club, he said the universities could meet their respon- sibilities towards their students and their communities only if the finan- cial crisis were solved. "We can only hope that enlight- ened public opinion in this province will result in adequate support of our own universities," he added, pointing to the example of Great Britain which this year is contribut- ing more than $700 a student to her universities. "I believe that we must in Can- ada assume our proper place by be- coming vital forces in the study cnd actual practice of living in this everyday society which we serve. The universities must accept the challenge of giving leadership in a world which, through the impact of science, the chaos of international affairs and the influence of the so- cial revolution, 13 changing the life of every citizen of every country.' Dr. Hall said that in his opinion the major responsibilities of the university are to teach well, to en- gage in research and to develop the student as an individual. The \in- creasing number of students, com- pared with pre-war days, added to the problems.

Yet there was a | rhythm to these selections that | was infectious, and one felt the | enjoyment of both conductor and | orchestra in presenting them. The final sele:tion, the waltz "Voices of Spring" by Johann Strauss, was | a glittering climax to an evening of rare enjoyment. In response to re- peated demands from the audience, the orchestra played "The Flight of the Bumble-Bee" by Rimsky- Korsokoff and "Fiddle Faddle" by Leroy Anderson, as encores. "Thus the 1948-1949 season of the Community Concert Association had an auspicious debut, one which charmed the large audience of Osh- Awa music-lovers whose apprecia- don, as expressed in thunderous applause, was most genuine.
