DOM prizes. By CATHY WILSON How do YOU feel about long-hair music? No, not Monkees-type long-hair music. Symâ€" phonic music. Like Mozart, Beethoven, Handel and, yes, even the Beatles’ “Yesterday.” Well, if you really don’t know much about symphonic music, if you’re not. sure how you feel about it, there are several ways of finding out. Among them. I’d recommend going to hear our own symphony orchestra. Its name is quite simply “Richmond Hill Symphony Orchestra.” What it achieves is not so simple. It has earned justly its considerable reputation for making music well. When and how did it all happen ‘2 Check back through past issues of “The Liberal” until you come to December 1. 1961, and the headline: “Symphony Group Seen In Public For The First Time”. This was the be- ginning. It was not till September of the follow- ing year that the Richmond Hill Symphony Orâ€" chestra was officially launched with twenty-four musicians led by Conductor Arthur Burgin. To- day, Mr. Burg‘in still leads the orchestra, but the original twenty-four has grown now to sixty- three members. A striking characteristic of music-making in our day is the youth, vigor and talent of many performers. The Richmond Hill Symphony Or- chestra is no exception. A third of its musicians are young people we know well from school and other associations: Paul ,Van Goozen, Doug Sparkes, Brian Taylor, Ron Robbins and Brian Burgin, to mention a few. There are others like them, young people who have left school, who enjoyed making music in such ways as the school orchestra or in their own groups, and who wish to continue what proved to be an enjoyable ex- perience. ,, __._ . ‘ ..‘. --n And this brings me to another point of very real concern. There are still a few openings in some sections of the orchestra, but attracting enthusiastic instrumentalists is not the real prob- lem. The REAL PROBLEM is the audience. Not that symphony concert audiences are noisy. unmannerly or inconsiderate. No, it’s just that too few people turn out to enjoy and SUpport their orchestra. r v _ v . 7 V e , , Personally, I’m glad they’ve decided to enrich the texture of our life here in the Hill by turning out for our own orchestra. Here we have a remarkably fine symphony orchestra praised by knowledgeable critics as “epitomizing the best aspects of amateur music- making.” In past years, they got our interest and support, and they were used to playing for audiences of 300 to 500 people or more. “Now,” says Mrs. Ann Sellen, President of the Symphony, “there are too often more people on the stage than in the audience.” This, I think, is a deplorable situation. It is something that I think we young people can do something about. We can support and encourage our very own symphony orchestra. We can urge our parents and their friends to do likewise. At the same time, we can learn to know and enjoy still another kind of “long-hair" music. Much of it has been around a long time and will probably still be around when some of the present “long- hair” music has been long consigned to history! See you at the next symphony concert!
