Inaugurated on the air last sea- son when NBC presented a group of broadcasts by the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra under the direction of Desire Defauw, the series was resumed on December 16. It is l)€ing heard on Saturdays, from 3 to 4 p.m., EWT. Five major American orchestras are participating in the current sea- son, all of them broadcasting from their home cities. Featured orchestras and their conductors for the 24-week 1944- 194.'5 schedule are the Kansas City Philharmonic conducted by Efrem Kurtz, the Indianapolis Symphony headed by Fabien Sevitzky, the Bal- timore Symphony directed by Regi- nald Stewart, the Eastman School (Rochester, New York) Symphony led by Dr. Howard Hanson, and the Chicago Symphony under Defauw. The Kansas City group opened the season with the broadcasts of December 16 and 23. The Indian- apolis group followed for the dates of December 30 through January 13. Baltimore takes the microphone January 20, through February 3. On February 10, the Indianapolis Symphony returns for three dates ending February 24, and the Balti- more group also encores for three concerts, March 3 through 17. On March 24, the Chicago Sym- phony starts its second season on the series, holding the microphone each Saturday through April 21. Dr. Hanson conducts the Eastman School Symphony April 28 through May 26, when the season closes. Three of the conductors repre- sented on the series—Efrem Kurtz.

Mr. Chotzinoff said, "to re- veal what the entire nation is doing in the way of good music. This can- not be achieved by featuring just a single orchestra from one city."
