Thomas Orchestra Presents Two Concerts In Indianapolis
The Theodore Thomas orchestra, led by Frederick Stock in Caleb Mills hall, offered two Indianapolis concerts. Critics praised the Schubert and Dvorak numbers but faulted Stock for rushing tempo and a loss of expressive nuance. Soloists Mrs. Corinne Rider Kelsey and Mr. Herbert Witherspoon performed, with mixed reception. The program drew strong attendance but uneven artistry and pacing marred the overall concert experience.
