Plan to save orchestra in Washington 1905-06 drive
A Washington citizens committee met at the Washington Course of Music to chart a financial plan for the Washington Symphony Orchestra for the 1905-06 season. The report urged public subscriptions totaling at least 35000, with funds earmarked as donations, stock subscriptions at five dollars per share, or advance ticket subs, and set up three funds under trustee E Southard Parke. The plan aims to keep the orchestra by engaging business leaders officials press and the musical public, with new stockholder representation and a $6000 advance ticket goal deemed insufficient without additional donations or stock subscriptions. The group will reconvene at the Washington Club on February 11.
