Classical or Pop?
A Steinway piano is very
democratic. It treats Chopin, Ellington, and
footlight favourites with equal respect. It
doesn't care whether you went to the Berlin
Conservatoire or taught yourself.
Nor whether you play for a living or simply
for the love of music.
It continues to-day, as it has
for over a century, to be the world’s
standard of how a piano should sound.
Which means that whatever
you're doing sounds
better on a Steinway.
For lovers of good food ...
Three excellent places to eat— all under one roof — at the

If you’re hungry but short of time — you can enjoya light
meal or grill in the Buttery. Meals are quick, ample and
inexpensive. Open early until late, seven days a week.
For a unique atmosphere, exciting fare, visit the Crypt
Restaurant, which has light music in the evening. It’s a perfect
supper-spot. Open Monday to Saturday.
If a true gourmet’s meal is your style, there’s the Diane

good care-everywhere
An orchestra should serve a community. A community is composed of so
many different elements; therefore the orchestra’s repertoire should be
as wide as possible. Of course, some considerations circumscribe the
broadest planning: the number of concerts, the number of rehearsals,
the amount of attention being directed to certain composers in the country
at large. Yet it is still possible to be adventurous without being merely
fashionable, and the all-American concert on 3 February 1973 is a case
in point. This is a richly rewarding concert for everybody, the two fairly
well Known works of Copland and Gershwin being flanked by two very
different pieces. | would go so far as to say that the Roy Harris Third
Symphony ought to be in every conductor’s and every orchestra’s
repertoire. The other concerts in the Enterprising series are equally
divided between British and foreign works, and several other programmes:
9 December 1972, 25 March 1973 and 5 May 1973 fall into the ‘in between’
class requested by many people several seasons ago, and produced
successfully since then.
The rest is the popular classical and romantic repertoire, with the works
requiring soloists served by a great cross-section of virtuoso talent.
Stoika Milanova, Tamas Vasary and John Lill are internationally famous,
and in the case of John Lill we can pride ourselves on the fact that
Guildford judges anticipated the Muscovites’ reception of him, on at least
three occasions. Clementine Patrick is already a ‘star’ abroad, and will
be too, in England. British soloists abound, some young, some established,
some making their first appearance with us in Guildford, others, like our
leader, Hugh Bean, making a welcome return.
FOREWORD
At the end of last season | was asked to conduct the London Philharmonic
Orchestra at the Round House in one of a series of public rehearsals by
London orchestras devoted to rarely heard British works. The Composers’
Guild felt that the public ought to hear the works chosen, and that the
London orchestra managements might take some of them into the
repertoire. The L.P.O. worked nobly on inadequate rehearsal to present
the works at the evening session to what turned out to be a tiny audience.
After the ‘performance’ the audience were invited to discuss what they
had heard. The mildness of the business that followed made me reflect
on the liveliness of question time in our own Concertgoers’ Society
members’ evenings. | reflected, too, that this series of public rehearsals
had been in part instigated by the lack of performances of living
composers’ works and twentieth century works during the season at
London concerts. | drove quickly back to Guildford, where | knew | would
have been able to programme both the works | had just conducted, not
as part of a special apology, but as part of the series continually
sponsored by an enlightened Corporation, and supported by an
enthusiastic discerning audience.
For instance, in the coming season, not counting our new special
concerts for schools, nearly forty composers will be represented in our
programmes. Of the forty odd works, fifty per cent have been written in
this century, over twenty per cent are British and nearly ten per cent are
by living composers. Of the soloists, three-quarters are British, and of
the four choral works to be given, three are of the present century. Yet
the Concertgoers’ Society flourishes, the South East Music Trust has
been launched, the Corporation is providing its first schools’ concerts, the
Proteus and Philharmonic Choirs have not been decimated, and the
average attendance at concerts remains an example to the rest of the
country. What can be wrong?
4
To find a concert brochure where the number of works is almost equalled
by the number of composers represented, is a rarity. | have to be very
sure of my players and singers to attempt such a thing. Long ago | gave
up trying to ‘test’ our artists in the orchestra; the more taxing the season,
the more nonchalantly they carry it out, For the choirs the task is harder.
Most amateur choral societies can sing in a season what they would like
to sing, or their conductors like to conduct. The Proteus and Philharmonic
Choirs are amateur singers as are other choirs, but they have to sing
what will fit best in the broadly constructed repertoire of a professional
concert series. How enthusiastically they do it can be judged by the great
number of unfamiliar works, first performances, and revivals of major works
that they have undertaken in the past ten seasons.
The membership of orchestra and choirs is always partially changing, and
for a variety of reasons; this is natural and inevitable. The amazing thing
to me after ten seasons, is that the newcomers quickly become part of
the individual identity of the musical team that | am privileged to conduct,
an identity which is becoming more and more comprehended by the
general public. However, it is the appreciation of the people in and
around Guildford that encourages us within the team to develop that
identity, and to understand how worthwhile a job we have in serving this
community.

ABOUT THE SOCIETY
scert is only available if the applicant is also booking either the 7 Saturday evening
th).
2 seats on seating plan overleaf. (N.B. Precise seating cannot be guaranteed).
The Guildford Concertgoers’ Society was formed in 1949. Five years
earlier the Corporation of Guildford had founded a Municipal Orchestra
under a professional Director of Music; and the first (and still the single
most important) aim of the Society has been to support and promote
interest in the concerts sponsored by the Corporation. The latter is a
generous patron of the Arts, but the success of its policy depends on an
enthusiastic response from the people who benefit by it — that is, from
everyone interested in this brochure. By its existence and activities the
Concertgoers’ Society proves that there is a keen and growing demand
for good music well performed. In this way we have over the years been
able to encourage the Corporation to continue and extend its own support
for such music, with the result that the orchestra is now fully professional.
The Society in addition gives more direct help. Corporation grants cover
the basic costs of the concerts and music administration, insofar as these
cannot be completely met by box office receipts. Concerts in the
Enterprising Series do, however, require extra reshearsal time to ensure
a first-class performance. Arts Council support is available for these
concerts, and in addition the Society maintains a Musical Aid Fund from
which further assistance can be provided where necessary. This Fund
was used, for example, to help finance the first recording to be made by
the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra. Again, through this Fund the
Society provides two annual playing Scholarships with the orchestra for
promising young professional musicians, and pays for the fees of a young
soloist at the annual Crossley Clitheroe Concert, By joining the Society
you will be helping to sponsor such worthwhile activities.
However, as a member you will also receive certain more direct and
tangible benefits in exchange for your subscription. Apart from supporting
the Corporation’s programme of concerts, the Society itself organises its
own meetings and social functions during the season: the programme for
the 1972-73 season is set out elsewhere in the brochure.
The current annual subscription is £1.00 for the first member of the family,
and 75p for each subsequent member of the same family living at the
same address. The subscription for persons under the age of 18 and
retirement pensioners is 40p. (These are the minimum subscriptions and
many members voluntarily pay more in order to assist the Society with its
‘tance on previous page.

Lord Nugent of Guildford, P.C.
J. V. M. Gordon Clark
Director of Music: Vernon Handley
During the past ten years Vernon Handley has built up the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra to its present high standard, and the success
of the annual concert series sponsored by the Guildford Corporation
is recognised nationally as a unique phenomenon for a town of
Guildford’s size. The expansion of the Orchestra’s activities is the
logical step in the development of its potential, as well as providing
the opportunity for others to share with the Guildford audiences its
fine performances. The South East Music Trust has been formed, and
an appeal for £50,000 has been launched to further this aim. By
keeping the orchestral personnel together regularly throughout the
year, Guildford audiences will benefit from the higher standard of
playing that will be realised, and the prestige of the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra will be enhanced.
Further details about the Trust can be obtained from the Secretary,
Mrs. Kathleen M. Atkins, Guildford House, 155 High Street, Guildford. Tel. Guildford 73800; 10 am-1 pm; 2 pm—4 pm.

In that apparently interminable delay between the scheduled and
the actual start of the performance, may | distract you from your
meditations on the incredible hardness of the chairs — though for the
ultimate in fundamental discomfort | could recommend the Sheldonian
Theatre at Oxford or the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth — and from the
inexorable build-up of nervous tension so necessary for the ultimate
performance (but, Oh the relief when you’ve been to the loo. . .).
Of course, most people listen to music on records in their homes
more often than to live performances, and it is on the subject of high
fidelity record players that | would like to talk. It is the function of a
hi-fi shop such as ours to give you the sort of sound reproduction you
want — for example, a basically pleasant smoothness, a crisp, analytical
transparency, or a heavy, bassy, loud and spectacular sound. You have to
choose the sort you want and can afford, also the appearance you like —
or your wife likes; unfortunately for the average man, the average wife
takes a dim view of the average hi-fi, regarding it with disfavour as an
expensive toy which uses up a good deal of living space and money far
better spent on her. However a pretty toy is more tolerable, and that
Transcriptors turntable (the funny brass and silver thingy going round in
our window) is certainly a talking point. It also works pretty well, I’m
glad to say.

We try to give you the sound you want for the price you are willing
to pay, and that is not necessarily the same as giving you the equipment
you want at the cheapest price. The sound you get from a set depends
to a great extent on the room in which you use it — and so we do
recommend that you make use of our home demonstration service.
Well, please drop in for a chat if you are interested, and bear in
mind that the man who sells you the equipment will also be the man who
services it and, indeed, helps decide what equipment to stock.
\ hope you enjoy the performance.
Thank you,
