Pianist Glen Gould and bass|"" baritone James Milligin ar- rived with, respectively, in- fluenza and a swollen jaw. However, they played, enter- tained and swept the associa- tion into the wonderful sound of success. The Canadian Concert Asso- ¢iation was born from @ re- which boded dark days Canadian performing art- ists unless somebody did some- thing soon. The Massey Report on Arts warned in forbidding tones that unless groups began organizing concerts and shows, Canadian artists would not only leave for more enlightened areas -- not- ably the United States -- but the arts in Canada would gen- erally suffer. Canadian artists had to @xposed to the public in pW to rescue the arts and rejuvin- bo ee on ----. : public, including artists themselves, responded brilliant- ly. And today the association and other groups sponsor con- certs and other artistic events throughout the country. Was suddenly big. GOULD IN DEBUT In Oshawa, concerned per- sons organized the CCA of Osh- awa. The first 'concert was launched with' a young Glen Gould who, at that time;-show- ¢d promise of becoming a re- spected artist. Today he is famous. James Milligin, who joined) Gould on the stage, is now Gead; however, he became a well-known performing artist. Inspired into action by such hotable artists as Eli Spivak, a concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Rex Battle, musical director of Sing- ing Stars of Tomorrow on CBC, the Oshawa chapter began seri- ously considering the future of they are operating in the black. KEEP IMPROVING Jack Hutchinson, president, cautiously estimates that the local association has been mak- ing money for about four years Ww. Not much money after art- ists' fees, hall rentals "= numerous other expen: a enough to trickle funds back into the association. "We keep improving it," -he says. We' re getting together bet- ter shows -- better run, better performed, better accepted." Jack, slightly built, intense and eager, speaking quickly, reviews the past 15 years of slips and slides as the *<socia- tion struggled for pvanice, respect and success: "We're a missionary group. Profit we need, but we're not a money-making organization and we're here to give. the public its money's worth, and more." Has the public got its Pe ge ge worth? The association has presented performances of the Canadian Opera Company, The Winni- peg Ballet, pianist William Stevens, saxophonist Paul Brodie, singers Lois Marshall, Joyce Sullivan, Maureen For- rester and the Festival Singers. These are only a few that Art| have been heard, and there is abundant confidence they represent only the beginning of an extended career for the Canadian Concert Association. ANECDOTES Associations were formed ini- tially in 17° communities and although they had their knocks they also provided for some gentle anecdotes. One concert offered some shades of separatism: prior to the commencement of the per- formance proper, a young Que- bec artist was asked to play "God Save The Queen." The young Quebecois either couldn't or wouldn't. Saving an embar- rassing moment, the president of that association rushed to the stage and played the nation-| -- al anthem. art in Oshawa.
