Chicago Symphony

"So that World's Fair visitors may have an opportunity of hearing Chicago's famous orchestra," trustees of the Chicago Symphony last week announced that its 1933-34 season would open a week earlier than usual--on Oct. 5, when round little Conductor Frederick August Stock mounts the rostrum in Orchestra Hall to commence his 29th season. Other Chicago Symphony news: P: The number of concerts (28 Thursday evenings and Friday afternoons, twelve Tuesday afternoons) will remain the same, but the price of season tickets will be lower. Subscribers will pay $2 to $5 less for the long series, $1 to $2.50 less for the short. P: There will be the usual familiar faces among the soloists--Gabrilowitsch, Ganz, Petri--but there will also be some new ones, including Poldi Mildner, 18-year-old ''Cyclone of the Piano" whose swift, sharp, unorthodox playing last year gave Manhattan music critics food for many a journalistic difference of opinion. P: The trustees look for no reduction in their deficit this year. Last year's was $114,000. but this was reduced $34,000 by rental of Orchestra Hall (which the Symphony Association owns); the $80,000 balance was made up from endowment incomes.
