2. A Municipal Exploit in Music.

Author

Straus, Henrietta

Subjects
ORCHESTRA, MUSICAL groups, SYMPHONY, ARTS, HISTORY
Abstract

If ones municipalities were given generally to adventures in arts there would be no need for this article. But when such adventures are almost isolated instances they cannot be localized in value. For this reason an organization like the Baltimore Symphony takes on a certain national significance, for it is the first and the only municipally endowed and managed symphony orchestra in the country. Its history is doubly significant in that its entire existence has been the triumph of art over politics and that it was due originally to a concert manager, Frederick R. Huber and to a politician, James H. Preston, the latter, a one time mayor of Baltimore.
