IPART HI. 1 Southland Musicians Billed at Symphonies Grofe Will Conduct Tuesday Program; Kenny Baker to Appear Following Days The dancing couple, Veloz and Yolanda, Tuesday will open Hollywood Bowl's sixth week of Symphonies Under the Stars. Ferde Grofe, American composer-conductor, will direct tha Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in the program hich SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1942 initiates the week. To take advantage of the light ing need for the dancers, the; Southern California Symphony Music Society Brings Great Works West By Isabel Morse Jones Association moved Veloz and Yolanda up to Tuesday from Fri day and Saturday. Jose Iturbi and Amparo Navarro, originally scheduled for the earlier date will bt heard Friday night.

This week will introduce 0 While the demands of concerts kept me in Los Angeles until the last two programs of the International Society for Contemporary Music Festival in Berkeley last week, the important orchestral works I heard played Saturday and Sunday in the Greek Theater and the reports of the previous activities gave me a fair picture of a California meeting of musicians with broad vision. Alfred Frankenstein, music editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, and Albert Elkus, head of the music department of the University of California, were the committee for this 19th festival, the second in America and Southland artists. Grofe, who will conduct the Tuesday con cert, formerly played in Los An-j geles where his mother wa COMPOSER Miklos Ros active as a teacher.

Fritz Busch will conduct "The Bat" in English.

William von Wymetal will stage the production. The San Francisco Symphony and the Werner Orchestra are rated in a San Pancisco newspaper as the best in the West. We suppose the critic bases that estimation on records. Jascha Datsko, Russian violinist, will direct a small orchestra in haps, to charge it to the male work and Alexander Tans outer, he suggests, lie in some vague and dreamy realm. Hungarian, Rumanian and Rus over the land, who raise money advantage.

He is a young American with a gift and an unusually varied American education, and the people of the Bay region have confidence in him'. Pedro Sanjuan, well known in Southern California, now living in New York, was represented in "Folk Tunes of Cas-tile" in four pictures, with melodies of a haunting beauty, Rieti's Brilliant Opus Vittorio Rieti's "Concerto du Loup'' (the Loup is a French river) was an important new work on the Sunday program. It is a bright and picturesque concerto for small orchestra with tattoolike themes and brittle pizzicati. Benjamin Britten's "Sinfonia da Requiem," written for a festival to celebrate the Japanese imperial dynasty but never played in Japan, revealed remarkable gifts of rhythmic intensity and unusual Oriental orchestration. In this and the "Fanfare, Chorale and Finale" by Godfrey Turner of the San Francisco Conservatory composition department, the brass section of the Janssen Orchestra, led by Alfred Brain, outdid itself.

Arthur Benjamin, conductor of the Vancouver Symphony, had a "Prelude to a Holiday" on the Saturday program that was delightful.

Chamber Offerings The chamber music program dominated by the Tansman Quartet included a modernized MacDowell type of piece called "Informal Music No. 2" by Normand Lockwood and a "Divertimento" of Hungarian folk tunes by Fmieric Balazs. Rebecca Clarke's vomplex "Pre-hide, Allegro and Pastorale" for clarinet and viola was considered a high point in the varied chamber music program in Wheeler Hall Thursday. That was the day E. Robert Schmitz, pianist of prodigious modern repertoires, played brilliantly a romantic, bittersweet "Sonata de Prima vera" by Juan Castro of Argentina.

"Music for Children" by another Argentinan, Luis Gian-neo, was much talked of Friday and Ernest Rloch's "Poems of' the Sea" and Sonata for Piano, the latter played by the exceptionally well-equipped Seattle pianist.

Janssen Conducts Werner Janssen conducted this array of musie, which ranged from the grand style to interesting vulgarity, without score. His augmented orchestra gathered many laurels for outstanding first performances. The conductor expended hours of care and ingenuity in preparation of the two notable concerts.
