Sunday afternoon in Ford Auditorium.
Paul Paray conducted the
first half of the program with
Lorin Hollander. pianist, as
soloist. He tw'ned his podiwn
over to John S. Sweeney III
for the second half of the conct'rt.
Sweeney l.s the talented

In a short address after intermission
Allen G. Barry,
Symphony board president. set
the clllUplligll lloaJ. ltt ~OO,OOO.
He termed the drive "one of
the most In)porlJant In the orches
.ra's history" and pointed
to the serious need to broaden
the orchestra's l;ources of financial
support.
The Society of Contributors
to the Detroit Symphony has
accepted the responsibility of
raising the new funds. Robert
Wardrop will head .the drive
assisted by John B. Ford IU,
David L. Gamble and Henry
L. Newnan Jr.
A spear-head committee for
special gifts began work two
weeks ago undp.r the direction
of Mrs. C. Henry Buhl and
Mrs. Theodore O. Yntema,
The capacity audience received
a special report outlining
the orchestra's current financial
position and stressing
Its many services to t.he community.
In the current year the
Detroit Symphony will earn
more than 51 per cent of its
operating budget of $801,600. a
percentage comparable to all
major orchestras which also encounter
deficits which must be
made up from private giving.
Contributions from all sources
for the current season will
amount to $363,000 leaving an.
estimated deficit of $28,450. I
Sources include the orchestra's
major sponsors, the City of Detroit,
Society of Contributor
membership dues and the general
public.
Barry reiterated the fact that
a major musical Institution like
the Detroit Symphony is necessarily
a community undertaking.
"In this year of the orchestra's
many triumphs-the
100th annual Worcester Festival,
the United Nations concert
in New York-I hope to find
the civiil minded members of
the community willing to support
t.lJis organization which
serves us so well."
In the weeks ahead committee
members will invite the
public to join the Society of
Contributors with all of Its a'ttendant
benefits, or contribute
on 'an annual basis to the orchestra
without Society membership.
