Show The Music Guild People who go in for culture with the attitude of "on me it looks good" are a pain in the neck and of no particular particu-lar credit to a community. An appalling" example of this sort of thing occurred recently at the opening night of the Metropolitan opera season in New York. According to newspaper reports, quite a number of the "culture-conscious" spent the entire evening in the opera house bar seeing and being seen, and couldn't tell you to this day what musical masterpiece was performed that night in another part of the building. There are, on the other hand, people whose appreciation appreci-ation for the arts is an honest thing, the enjoyment of which they feel compelled to share with their neighbors. Fortunately Fortu-nately there are living in Mt. Pleasant several such people and it is to them that all of us should be grateful for the really fine music they have brought and are bringing to our community. We refer, of course, to the Mt. Pleasant Music Guild which has since its founding in 1940 secured for the entertainment en-tertainment of all of us some of the country's outstanding musicians. It is not possible here to list the names of the many Mt. Pleasant women who have had a hand in making the guild what it is today. We can, however, congratulate the 26 active members of the organisation today for sponsoring an excellent concert con-cert series this year in cooperation with Wasatch Academy. One of the highlights of the series will be the appearance appear-ance here January 26th of the Brigham Young University string quartet of which LeRoy Robertson, recent winner of a $25,000 award for his composition "Triology," is a member. Tickets for the series, or for individual concerts sell for a surprisingly small sum and may be obtained from Mrs. G. B. Madsen, president; Miss Margaret Thompson, treasurer, and other members of the guild. |
