Civic Association Opens New Season; Hold Examinations Comment in the Civic Music Bulle- tin of October 10 announces the open- ing of a new season for the Civic Or- chestra of Chicago, at least to the extent of holding examinations for membership. "So great was the success of the reorganized orchestra last season," reads the Bulletin notice, "that its continuance was a foregone conclu- sion. That continuance was brought about as the result of the devotion of Frederick Stock, director of the Chi- cago Symphony orchestra and of the Civic orchestra, and of Eric DeLamar- ter, who assists him in both organiza- tions, and by the assistance of the Orchestral Association of Chicago. "Last season the reconstitution of the Civic Orchestra was concerned, not only with a raising of the standard in its membership, but with the crea- tion of classes in Orchestral Repertory. Sight-reading, Chamber music, etc. The policies of last season will be car- ried forward in this, the instruction, which is given by the principals of the various departments of the Chicago Symphony orchestra, being given to the members entirely free of charge. That the work of the Civic orches- tra has had and is having a marked influence for good in our national music is evident from the fact that the training which, thanks to the vi- sion of Mr. Stock, has been given to so many of our young musicians has resulted in the Americanization of or- chestras in the United States. Every season members of the Civic Orches- tra who have shown ability during their year's work are drafted into the principal symphonic organizations of this country.
