Cedar Rapids Orchestra Focus Draws Strong Endorsements
Donald Key notes Cedar Rapids has assets for a leading community orchestra. The piece lists progress include increased musicians from 50 to 73, two Iowa conductors, a doubled budget, a new business manager, and a women's fund-raising committee. It urges continued support as plans for next season emerge with a subscription concert series and soloists. The April 14 annual meeting will elect a 15 member board to guide future development.
