Orchestra Conductor
Chooses Rappahannock
As Musical Festival Site
William Haaker, director of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, has contracted a disease well-known •round the county. He and Mrs. Haaker have fallen in lore with Rappahannock’s scenic beauty and they are making R possible for tile county to have a student colony of the 'Virginia Symphony Orchestra established here in the beautiful mountains.
Mr. Haaker was, in the county; three days early this week and visited possible sites for the location of a music colony. His ideas included the possibilities of using a barn, or some similar building, where rehearsals and concerts could be held. The music term or Rudy for the summer would be about six weeks in length,' per* haps the last three weeks in July -and the first three in August.
Summer music festivals are " held by musicians in a few other states, and some, like Interlocken and Berkshire Hills, have become quite famous. No such colony has ever been established ij| Virginia. and, of necessity,' would have tar begin on small scale and- build up, as the other now-famous ones hsd to do.
