In Spring
Symphony
On Campus
Among the special music pro-
grams to be conducted on campus
during the 75th Year will bte one
by the Dallas Symphony Orches-
tra.
The orchestra, through receipt
of a $20,000 grant from the Rocke-
feller. Foundation, will conduct a
student composers' workshop at
NTSU in the spring of 1965.
The award will enable the or-
chestra to lengthen its 1964-65
season to give premiere perform-
ances in Denton of symphonic
works by young American compos-
ers.
Under the program, the Dallas
Symphony will be in residence on
the NTSU campus from April 29
to May 3. NTSU will be the host
school and invite four other Texas
schools to participate: the Univer-
sity of Texas, Southern Methodist
University, Baylor University and
Texas Christian University. _
The workshop is intended to en-
courage the writing of music for
symphony orchestras by student
composers and to give them an op-
portunity to hear their works read
and recorded by the Dallas Sym-
phony Orchestra. It will also en-
able outstanding collegiate artists
in this area to perform as soloists
with the symphony under profes-
sional circumstances.
