All-American Youth Band to Get Union Pay
United Press reports the All-American Youth Orchestra will be paid on a national basis. NYA Director Walter Cowing said the musicians will join a musicians’ union if not already members. Stokowski plans a 14 city spring tour to select members for a two to three month goodwill tour of Central America. The orchestra will eventually become a youth ensemble from ages 15 to 25, aiming for a Musicial Olympics status. Auditions continue across Pennsylvania as officials receive many applications.
