More than 2,000,000 listeners have attended 1,309 concerts in the nine years since the Palestine Orchestra was founded, the management disclosed today as plans were laid for the new season, begining Oct, 11, under the well known Italian conductor, Bernardino Molinari.
The orchestra consists of 70 artists who perform under local and guest conductors. It averages about 149 concerts per season. In common with its more famous contemporaries in the United States, Britain and elsewhere the Palestine Orchestra labors under a good-sized deficit. Its last year’s budget was $216,000 of which only $176,000 was covered.
