Sanford Schlussel Wins Mason & Hamlin Piano Prize
Sanford Schlussel, of Astoria, Ore., was selected as the winner of the Mason & Hamlin prize at the Chicago Musical College on May 2. He is a pupil of Edward Collins of the faculty and the contest took place on that date at Orchestra Hall, at which the contestants played the first movement of the B flat minor concerto, op. 32, by Schar-wenka, with the full Chicago Orchestra, under Frederick Stocky conductor. The judges were Franz Kneisel, Ernest Schelling and Oscar Saenger. Felix Borowski and Carl Kinsey, managers of the college, state that this was, perhaps, the most ■interesting contest of all that have been held in recent years for the Mason & Hamlin piano prize.
Salem from Rochester, N. Y., where he was supervisor of music in the high schools and director of the Eastman Kodak Company Chorus. He formerly was director of music in the schools of Maine Township, Des Plaines, 111., and director of the Maine Township Music Festival. For four years he held the post of director of music at the First Baptist Church, Chicago, 111. Winston-Salem now has one of the most completely organized departments of public school and community music in the country. Mr. Breach is to be highly praised for the fine spirit he has shown in developing these projects.
The Board of Education of Winston-Salem recently voted an appropriation of $10,000 for the purchase of orchestral and band instruments. All orchestral instruments are included in the equipment, there being even a concert harp. These instruments are loaned free of charge to the children and all instruction is free of charge. That Winston-Salem is thoroughly interested in music is evidenced also by another appropriation of $10,000, the Board of Aldermen recently having voted unanimously to grant that amount to the Civic Music Commission.
An extensive program has been mapped out by the Commission, including, as it does, the Summer Master School,
Clement Manly (chairman), Mrs. J. Edward Johnston, Mrs. Thomas Maslin, Dr. Howard E. Rondthaler, Henry Dwire, H. E. Fries and R. H. Latham. This probably will be the only civic summer school of music in the country
