The Frederick R. Mann Auditorium, Israel’s largest and most modern concert hall and the new home of the Israel Symphony Orchestra, was dedicated here today in the presence of 3, 000 guests, including leading figures in the cultural life of Israel and American guests.

The 5,000,000-pound structure was built by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. Mr. Mann, chairman of the Foundation’s board, for whom the hall was named, was presented with a key to the auditorium by Tel Aviv Mayor Chaim Levanon.
