Stransky on Tour

The Mozart conductor at Baden-Baden was Josef Stransky, who recently departed from the New York Philharmonic Orchestra with some attendant excitement and who will have a new orchestra of his own next season. This orchestra under Stransky, by the way, will furnish the instrumental part of the German Wagner company next season.

Stransky traveled extensively during the Summer. He conducted orchestras in various parts of Spain. He directed a symphony concert at Palma in the Balearic Isles, where he found an orchestra of 27 men awaiting him. With this small band he played a program for which at the Philharmonic he would have had 80 musicians.
