The New England Philharmonic Orchestra, a non-profit group directed by Richard Burgin, concertmaster and assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony, is opening its ranks to amateur and professional musicians.
Approximately 80 men and women, including Radcliffe students, meet on Sunday evenings from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Emmanuel Church in Boston to read and play reportorial music of such well known composers as Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, and Sibelius, and to improve their knowledge of orchestra work. The group is planning several concerts to raise money for scholarships to Tanglewood, the Berkshire Music Center.
Burgin has worked under Serge Koussevitsky, and continues under the present conductor of the Boston Symphony, Charles Munch.
