NOON TO MIDNIHU'I BUNGLES IT" SOUND will celebrate his tenth year of association the orchestra conducting 14 programs in the 22-weeks of the orchestra's 1971-72 winter season in the Los Angeles Musci Center Pavilion. The season has been.keyed to the theme of "Ten Years To gether" to acknowledge the partnership Mehta has created with the Philharmonic and Southern California music lov ers.

Since his appntioment as music director 'in 1961, Mehta has led the orchestra on tours of the world, Japan the Eastern United States; and has steadily enhanced the Philharmonic's reputation as. one ol the world's great orchestras. "Both in the choice of artists and repertoire," Fieischmann, executive' the sponsoring Southern California Symphony Hollywood Bowl Association," Mehta has comebined the new and the old. We will present a number of performers making subscription series debuts including Los Angeles' Horacio Gutierrez as well as such long time stars as Serkin, Stern and Ros- tropovich. "The music, too, will range widely from the a i i a Tchaikovsky Sixth Symphony, to the relatively unknown Busoni Violin Concerto, and a number of recent works by living composers, including Copland, Krenek and Takemitsu.

Hopefully, we have programmed i please all music lovers at each concert." Opening with Mahler's Second Symphony on Nov. 4, as Mehta begins a five-year cycle cf all Mahler's i works, the season includes major works and features a plethora of internationally celebrated soloists. Expanding on an innovation of the 1970-71 season, recitals by Rudolf Serkin, Janet Baker and Daniel Barenboim, Andre Vatts, and Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau who will sing Schubert's "Die Winterreise," have een included on four of the seven regular subscription series. Barenboim is also one of four conductors invited to lead the orchestra during next The others are Istvan fertesz, music director of the Cologne Opera, for a two-week Angeles debut appearance; Andre Previn, principal conductor of the London Symphony, for one week in March; and distinguished American com- )oser-conductor A a Cop- and, also for a one-week March visit. Barenboim will ead the orchestra for three weeks in January with soloists Pinchas Zukerman, violin; Los Angeles cellist Jeffrey Solow vho made an acclaimed Sunday afternoon subscription debut with the orchestra last year; Rafael Orozco, piano; and the orchestra's own first lorn player, Henry Sigismonti.

Gerhard Samuel, the Philhar- nonic's associate conductor, vill conduct two weeks of concerts: in January with Gutierrez, and in March with piano soloist Martha Argerich. Twelve singers and instrumentalists will be making their Music Center debuts with the irchestra, and two members of he Philharmonic itself, Alan de Verltch and Henry Sigis- monti, will step forward as so- oists On Sunday afternoon concerts.

George said that if the choice had'been his, he would have changed the show completely.

Not because the old clear, but because he likes to set new trends. "It's probably healthier," he allowed, "that I've been given some- i completely different and new to do." He's referring to a Wacky World," his latest TV baby, which airs as a special Sept. 16, and is earmarked as a spinoff for a new NBC series. That "Wacky" footage is going to include scenes from all over the world, comedy bits with foreign stars filmed on their own ground. And talk about the wackiest! They've even got real 'shots of a German gent who -protested jets flying over his home by shooting dumplings at the aircraft with an ancient catapult.

George has one spectacu- ar video strike-out on his record: "Turn On," the ABC series which was abruptly cancelled after a single outing several seasons back. Yet his "Rowan and a i Laugh-In" has done more to affect the humor habits of the world than any TV show in history, with its format being copied even on Russian television. Now NBC is convinced old George can do it again. "Wacky World" was scheduled for premiere night showing after the network had seen only six minutes of a rough cut. And what is good enough for the peacock folks, is good enough for others, too.
