THE
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
(Founded by THEODORE THOMAS)
FREDERICK STOCK, Conductor
--AND THE-
AMERICAN COMPOSER
During the last eleven seasons (the present not included) Mr. Stock has presented to the patrons of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s series of symphony concerts in Orchestra Hall, Chicago, 125 works of forty-six American composers for a total of 159 listings on the programs for these, the principal concerts of the orchestra. As these programs are given in pairs (i.e. Friday afternoon and Saturday evening of each week) the number of performances totals 318. This record has only to do with the orchestra’s home symphony series and does not take into account the performances given “on the road” or in the “Popular” and University of Chicago concerts.
