PHILADELPHIA PERMANENT ORCHESTRA

PROSPECTUS

March 3, 1899

The musical life of this city has reached a stage in its development

that must make it apparent to all who are interested in the advancement

of matters of art and education that if we are to continue the progress

of the past few years and take our place as a city of any musical

importance, the next and most necessary step is the founding of a

Permanent Philadelphia Orchestra. Such an undertaking is one that

requires serious consideration, and the co-operation not only of our

music-loving public but of all citizens who are interested in our civic

progress.

In order to establish an orchestra such as would be a distinct credit

to the city, it is necessary to have a paid-up fund of not less than

$250,000.

The following Committee, before issuing this circular, have given the

matter great consideration, carefully looked into various organizations

in other cities, and feel confident that if they meet with liberal

response Philadelphia will have in a few years an orchestra second to

none in America. When Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Pittsburgh,

and other cities, not nearly so large or so wealthy, have established

permanent orchestras, it is surely time that we should interest

ourselves and unite in aiding to form an organization in keeping with

our size and importance. This will not be possible with less than the

sum before mentioned, which they trust you will aid them in securing

upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Subscribers shall not be bound by their subscriptions unless the sum

of $200,000 shall have been subscribed.

2. The fund shall be used only for the purpose of establishing and

maintaining a permanent Philadelphia Orchestra, and it shall be applied

for that purpose by the following Trustees:

C. WILLIAM BERGNER C. HARTMAN KUHN

JOHN H. CONVERSE SIMON A. STERN

SAMUEL A. CROZER JAMES F. SULLIVAN

GEORGE W. CHILDS DREXEL THOMAS B. WANAMAKER

CHARLES C. HARRISON

or their successors. The discretion of such Trustees shall be absolute

as regards the administration of the fund, and they shall have power to

fill any vacancy occurring in their number, they having agreed to abide

by the conditions herein stated.

The Trustees shall invest $200,000 of the fund, using only the interest

thereof and the additional $50,000 shall be used for current expenses

of the first few years, when the expenses will be heavier and the

deficit greater.

3. The orchestra shall be composed, first, of the best musicians

resident in Philadelphia; then, of the best musicians obtainable either

in this country or abroad. In order to insure the success of the

enterprise, it is absolutely necessary that the highest standard be

maintained, that the reputation of the orchestra can be established in

other cities beside our own, for it is not possible for an orchestra to

become self-supporting that cannot command engagements outside the city

to which it belongs.

4. The Board of Trustees, when it considers that the completion of the

fund is assured, shall select the leader upon the careful and unbiased

consideration of the merits and records of all candidates submitted to

it. Such candidates, however, to be only men of the highest reputation

either in Europe or America, and the leader one whose name will add to

the prestige of the orchestra both here and in other cities.

5. The selection and placing of the musicians shall be made by the

leader, subject to conditions in paragraph three.

6. As the subscribers contribute to the fund solely for the benevolent

purpose of advancing the cause of music in Philadelphia and release all

control over said fund, they shall not be considered as partners with

each other, or with the Trustees in the conduct or management of said

orchestra.

7. The Board of Trustees shall never exceed nine in number.

8. Subscribers to the permanent fund shall have choice of seats in

advance of the general public for all Symphony Concerts.

The Committee earnestly requests all who are interested and who will

aid them by subscribing to the Fund, to kindly give the matter their

prompt attention, and send in any subscription or communication as soon

as possible, for if the Orchestra is to be established by next season,

it is necessary to push matters without delay.

* * * * *

A Philadelphia newspaper 1899:

“HOW TO GET AN ORCHESTRA”

“It need not be difficult in Philadelphia to form

as fine an orchestra as anybody is willing and able

to pay for. A permanent orchestra is a very costly

institution. It involves the permanent employment

of anywhere from fifty to a hundred good musicians,

at salaries sufficient to secure their constant and

exclusive services as orchestra players throughout the

active portion of the year. A simple calculation will

show that the expense of this mounts quickly by tens of

thousands.

“Even in a great city, with a very large public

interested in orchestral music, it is scarcely

possible to meet this expense by the receipts from

local concerts. There is a limit to the number of

concerts that can be prepared or that can find hearers

in one place, so that a large fixed orchestra can

hardly earn its living—unless in some great place

of popular resort, like the Crystal Palace at London

or the Trocadero at Paris. Boston, an exceptionally

self-reliant metropolis, provides two full audiences a

week for the symphony concerts in Music Hall for

twenty-four weeks in the year, but it is known that

this does not meet the expense of the orchestra.

Experience furnishes no evidence of any such hunger

for orchestral music among the general public of

Philadelphia as would justify a reliance on its

financial support for an orchestra of the class of

that which private generosity has maintained at Boston

and that has established a standard with which, as a

business enterprise, it would be necessary to compete.

“Clearly, therefore, such an enterprise, if undertaken

here, must be undertaken either in a missionary spirit

by those who regard music as an elevating influence

in the community, or for their own gratification, by

those who wish for greater musical opportunities for

themselves. In either case, or both, the promoters

must expect to pay the piper. And this being the case,

we should say that those who pay have an entire right

to choose their piper—to organize their orchestra in

their own way and put it in charge of whom they please.

“The discussion that has been going on recently upon

this subject has run wide of the mark. It is not a

question of the best way to organize an orchestra, but

simply whether there is anybody ready to put up the

money to have an orchestra at all. If there is not,

the whole discussion is futile; if there is, we cannot

see that the details concern anybody else. The rest of

us can pay for our tickets and find fault, or we can

let it alone, as we have done with so many excellent

orchestra concerts, past and present. Something beside

the purely musical appeal is required to attract

an audience, very few of whom can know the actual

difference between one band and another, except in size

and in some of the more meretricious technical effects,

and if this can be supplied by personal, social or

fashionable interest and influence, there is that much

gained.

“It is an old rule in Philadelphia, that when anybody

undertakes to do anything, everybody else proposes a

different way. This has always prevented the natural

development of a local orchestra, and always will do so

as long as the matter is open to public contention. The

first essential to the establishment of a high-class

orchestra is capital. If that is provided, the rest can

be obtained, and those who provide it have the right

to determine how to spend it, and the right also to

command appreciation an support. Without this we can

dispute till the cows come home with no more result

than at any other time in the past forty years, during

which time everybody has been agreed that Philadelphia

should have such an orchestra, but no two agreed as to

who should conduct it, or how it should be maintained.”

_Public Leger_, March 4, 1899:

“A PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA”

“The movement which has long been on foot to establish

a permanent symphony orchestra in this city, one

which should from its inception challenge favorable

comparison with any other orchestra in the United

States, and one in which all who take an interest

in music might feel a justifiable pride, has now

taken such definite shape that its accomplishment is

practically assured.

“A perusal of the prospectus of the Philadelphia

Permanent Orchestra which was issued yesterday by the

committee who have piloted the undertaking into its

present haven, an which will be found published in

full on another page, shows that a paid-up fund of

$250,000 is necessary for the work in hand. All who are

interested in the civic progress of the city, an those

in particular who are interested in music, are invited

to contribute to the fund.

“The details of the scheme speak for themselves, but

the pith of the understanding is that $200,000 of the

fund shall be permanently invested and the interest

used for the advancement of the orchestra, while the

$50,000 cash balance is to be devoted to the current

expenses of the first few years. Preference is to

be given to musicians resident in Philadelphia, and

the Board of Trustees is to select the leader from

conductors of acknowledged reputation at home or abroad.

“That such an institution will be of great and

permanent value to the city, there can be no possible

doubt. A symphony orchestra of the calibre proposed

is as essential to the musical taste of the rising

generation as a well endowed public library is to their

literary education. Without an acknowledged standard

to judge by, musical taste and musical judgment

become chaotic, and degenerate by feeding without

discrimination on what is inferior.

“That such an organization will draw full houses, those

who have seen the Academy packed to the ceiling at

every concert given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra

will not doubt, an the fact that Philadelphia has

enabled a grand opera company of the first magnitude

to give an extended season here with a large margin of

profit for the past two years, is another demonstration

of the existence of a large musical public. It must be

admitted that the musical public of Philadelphia is

peculiar in some respects; it has a rooted antipathy to

mediocrity and an invincible dislike of being managed

from New York. But the public know what they want. They

have long wanted an orchestra—a real orchestra—of

their own. Various obstacles have cropped up from time

to time in the way, but the last one—the war with

Spain—no longer exists; the way has been cleared and

the time is ripe for the accomplishment of its desire.

“The names of the committee who will direct the affairs

of the orchestra are substantial guarantees of an able,

impartial and business-like administration of its

affairs, and the names of those who have endorsed it

financially, a list that will be double and trebled in

a few days, are certain indications that the orchestra

will shortly be an accomplished fact.”

APPENDIX N

LITERATURE OF EARLY DAYS

FIRST CIRCULAR ANNOUNCING THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

MAILED IN SEPTEMBER, 1900, TO ABOUT 4000 PEOPLE

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

85 Performers

MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

A series of six Symphony Concerts will be given at the

Academy of Music during the season of 1900-1901, on the

following dates: Friday evening, November 16; Friday

evening, December 14; Friday evening, January 18;

Friday evening, February 8; Wednesday evening, March 6;

Friday evening, April 19.

Soloists of the first rank will assist at the concerts,

and names will be announced as soon as pending

engagements have been made.

The prices of season tickets, with reserve seats to the

six concerts, are: Boxes with six seats $75; boxes with

four seats $50; other seats $8, $6 and $4; proscenium

boxes on application.

Sale of seats to holders of Patronesses’ Cards will

begin at Miss Harris’s office, No. 1115 Chestnut

Street, on Wednesday morning, October 10, at 9 o’clock.

The series announced above is the outgrowth of two

Symphony Concerts given last winter for the benefit

of sufferers by the Philippine War. The committee in

charge was the auxiliary to the committee of ladies who

supervised the Philippine concerts, and it is intended

that the management of the series of the coming season

shall be generally the same. To cover expenses of the

concerts a guarantee fund has been subscribed, the

amount of which is sufficient to meet the requirements

of the present undertaking; but it is hoped that our

people will give the concerts such liberal support as

to prevent a deficit at the end of the season.

* * * * *

The Philippine concerts proved the availability of

many of our resident musicians for work of the highest

grade, and the committee has undertaken the task of

organizing this series of concerts because it believes

that with a sufficient number of rehearsals, under

capable direction, our home players will be able to

render great orchestral compositions efficiently and

acceptably.

Mr. Scheel will insist upon frequent and thorough

rehearsals of the music; and no labor nor expense will

be spared to make the work of preparation complete and

the musical results wholly satisfactory.

The committee feels, however, that without a widely

spread interest among the people of Philadelphia, its

chief object would not be realized. That object is

largely to promote the musical culture of the city, and

to improve its status as a center of musical effort.

Therefore, an appeal is made to every Philadelphian

who understands what this undertaking may mean to the

city’s future musical life for active interest and

co-operation.

Most useful help can be given to the movement by

making its object known to friends and acquaintances;

all personal effort will be an effective aid to the

committee’s work.

Whether or not the receipts equal the expenses of the

concerts, it is the hope of the committee that this

movement for music in Philadelphia will receive hearty

encouragement and support from every one who has a

pride in the city’s artistic life.

CIRCULAR LETTER MAILED TO PATRONESSES WHO HAD NOT

PURCHASED TICKETS ABOUT TEN DAYS BEFORE SALE

TO PUBLIC, OCTOBER, 1900:

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

85 Performers

MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

The Management of the Philadelphia Orchestra wishes

to inform those interested in the concerts that the

sale of season tickets has progressed most favorably.

Of the forty-nine boxes forty-one have been sold, and

about thirteen hundred seats have been taken. There

now remain unsold but 140 seats in the Parquet, 103

in the Parquet Circle and 76 in the Balcony. Prompt

application at Heppe’s Piano Rooms, 1115 Chestnut

Street, will be necessary to secure choice places.

Should these seats be disposed of, there will, of

course, be no sale of reserved seats for single concerts.

Such widespread support is the best proof that the

public of Philadelphia has undoubted faith, not only in

the musical ability of Mr. Scheel and his men, but also

in the value of this effort to advance the cause of

orchestral music in our community. The attitude of the

musical profession toward the project is clearly set

forth in the enclose circular.

CIRCULAR ISSUE ABOUT OCTOBER 15, 1900,

FOR PRESS AND FOR SOLICITING PATRONESSES, TO

BE ENCLOSED WITH OTHER LITERATURE:

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

Believing that the public would be glad to hear what

the Musical Profession in Philadelphia thinks of this

undertaking, the committee in charge has written to a

few of the leading musicians, asking for their views.

Extracts from their replies are given below.

The intelligent and keen critical standpoint from which

their life’s training enables them to judge, gives

weight to their words, and the complete unanimity of

opinion which they express is noteworthy.

* * * * *

From Mr. Thomas a’Becket, President, Pennsylvania State Music Teachers’

Association:

“Without a doubt the best man who has taken up

residence in Philadelphia during the past forty years.

This opinion is shared by the older of our orchestral

musicians; also by men who have recently played under

his conducting. It has been fully demonstrated, first,

that Mr. Scheel has wonderful ability in handling

musicians—amateur as well as professional—and drawing

from them their best work; second, that there is in

Philadelphia—which I have maintained for twenty-five

years—the nucleus for a good orchestra. The great need

has been the proper man to bring together conflicting

elements. (The movement) has, indeed, my heartiest

support.”

* * * * *

From Dr. Hugh A. Clarke, Professor of Music, University of Pennsylvania:

“I believe Mr. Scheel to be a leader of first-rate ability in every

respect. His work during the past winter gives ample evidence of his

high standing as a musician and a conductor. The movement for the

establishment of an orchestra in Philadelphia has my most cordial

support, as I am convinced that it has now taken the right shape and is

in the hands of the right people.”

* * * * *

From Mr. W. W. Gilchrist, Principal of the Central Conservatory of

Music, Leader of the Mendelssohn Club, Leader of the Harrisburg

Oratorio Society, etc.:

“Those in whose judgment I have confidence speak very

highly of him. The movement has my cordial support.”

* * * * *

From Dr. Alfred C. Lambdin, Musical Editor, of “The Philadelphia Times.”

“To the broad musical knowledge, the imaginative

perception, the technical accomplishment that makes

up the interpretive artist of high rank, he seems to

add those peculiar personal qualities, the power of

expressing his musical ideas through the medium of

others, that differentiate the real ‘conductor.’ The

value of such a man in any musical community is

measured only by his opportunity. The great value of

Mr. Scheel’s work this winter has been in the fresh

and full artistic authority, which he has brought to

bear upon our disorganized musical forces here. The two

concerts at the Academy abundantly demonstrated what

can be done under such leadership and how it can be

done. The movement, therefore, to continue that work,

and develop it on the lines already laid down, commands

my most cordial support.”

* * * * *

From Mr. D. D. Wood, Organist of St. Stephen’s Church, Instructor at

Philadelphia Musical Academy, Teacher of Harmony, Counterpoint, etc.:

“Mr. Scheel is possessed of all those rare

qualifications which go to make up a great leader.

“He is most excellent musician of large and varied

experience, an earnest and conscientious worker, a man

of great personal magnetism, and thoroughly capable of

making the very best of the means at his disposal. As a

conductor he deserves a place in the very first rank.

“The work accomplished by Mr. Scheel during the past

winter has been eminently successful, and deserves the

cordial recognition of all true lovers of musical art,

and of all who are interested in the progress of that

art in our city.

“I am in hearty sympathy with the movement set forth in

your circular.”
