AN ARTIST’S IMPRESSION OF THE BACH FESTIVAL
BETHLEHEM, PA., MAY 26-27
Drawings by Carola Spaeth
The center sketch is of Packer Memorial Hall, Lehigh University, where the festival was held, and the four corner sketches are of Dr. J. Fred Wolle in action. A characteristic of his conducting is that he uses no baton and can accompany on the piano with either hand while he directs the singing with the other. The smaller sketches beginning from the top and going around toward the right are: T. Edgar Shields, organist; William Schmidt, cellist; W. M. Kincaid, flutist, and Emil Schmidt, concertmaster of the Festival Orchestra, The Messrs, Schmidt and Kincaid are all
members of the Philadelphia Orchestra	—.......— •
