The Philharmonia had given the final concert of the tour in the Leningrad Philharmonic\u2019s Great Hall on February 21st, and then the musicians had gone directly to the rail station for their overnight trip to Moscow, where they would spend their last two days in the USSR.\u00a0 Mr. Rodean recorded in his travel journal that the Ministry of Culture of the USSR hosted the Philharmonia members at a buffet reception on February 22nd. \u00a0Later that evening, Mr Rodean was one of a group that had been invited to dinner at the American Embassy where they were the guests of American Consul Joseph R. Norbury.\u00a0 Mr. Rodean recounted in his journal that Dr. Fennell, who was also in the group, regaled the group with the story of the Eastman Wind Ensemble\u2019s recording session for their Mercury recording The Civil War: its sights and its sounds <\/em>(1961).\u00a0 The following day, Philharmonia members visited Moscow Conservatory and then were hosted to a farewell luncheon where they enjoyed Coca-Cola, sent over in cases by the staff of the American Embassy.\u00a0 Later in the evening Philharmonia members attended a concert at the one of the halls within the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. \u00a0On February 24th the Philharmonia members flew to Amsterdam where they would spend the next 24 hours. \u00a0The following day, the entire party was at the airport by 2 PM and boarded their chartered KLM DC-8 for a departure at 4:10 PM.\u00a0 Their return flight and arrival at Niagara Falls is described in a Rochester press item displayed here.<\/p>\n

Quite apart from the public response is evident in the Rochester press items, some lines in Mr. Rodean\u2019s journal are telling with respect to the acclaim that Philharmonia members enjoyed upon their return.\u00a0 His final entry, written on March 5th, 1962, is worth quoting at length:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been over a week now since we landed at Niagara Falls. Rochester has treated us during this time as returning heroes.\u00a0 I have never had so many dinner invitations and afternoon tea receptions before.\u00a0 I have had many requests to speak before school and church groups.\u00a0 People on the street stop us to learn about the trip.\u00a0 Wednesday evening [date here] the city gave us a large banquet in the Sheraton Hotel\u00a0 [today 111 East Avenue].\u00a0 \u2026\u00a0 This pretty well wraps up a three-month tour.\u00a0 The immediate future seems will include a concert in Philadelphia and some recording work later in the year.\u00a0 Right now it is just a matter of catching up with all kinds of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

While tracing the story of the Philharmonia tour since late November, I have quoted liberally from Mr. Rodean\u2019s journal, as it is the only extant primary source providing daily news.\u00a0 In the tour\u2019s aftermath, three Philharmonia members set down in formal prose their thoughts on the tour and their analyses of its fulfillment of its goals.\u00a0 They were concertmaster Richard Kilmer[i]<\/a>,<\/sup> BM 1961, MM 1964; flutist Susan Levitin [ii]<\/a>,<\/sup> BM 1962; and double bassist Clifford Spohr[iii]<\/sup><\/a>, BM 1963.\u00a0 Both Mr. Kilmer\u2019s and Mr. Sphor\u2019s papers were submitted for academic credit in History 206 (International Relations), a course that Professor Charles Riker was teaching at Eastman in the spring 1962 semester.\u00a0 The three reports are remarkable for their insight and thoughtfulness as these three musicians pondered the orchestra\u2019s mission abroad and reflected on their impressions of the countries they had visited.\u00a0 The three papers leave one in no doubt that the Philharmonia members had taken seriously, to the utmost, their mandate to be musical ambassadors, and not only on the concert stage.\u00a0 Wherever their itinerary took them, whether meeting with conservatory students and their instructors, or visiting with members of other orchestras, or playing in small groups in social settings, such as the winds quintet in which Mr. Rodean participated, and also the jazz sessions that occurred in hotels from time to time \u2013 in these moments and more, the members of the Eastman Philharmonia had represented their school and their nation with pride and with commitment.<\/p>\n

During the Philharmonia\u2019s stay in Beirut, conductors Hanson and Fennell had been interviewed for a Voice of America radio broadcast. [iv]<\/a>\u00a0<\/sup> When asked by the interviewer as to the origin and purpose of the tour, Dr. Hanson had commented that the tour, this <\/em>tour \u2013 sending 87 young Americans abroad \u2013 had come directly out of the Kennedy Administration\u2019s \u201caccent on youth,\u201d as he put it.\u00a0 (President Kennedy had, after all, so famously proclaimed in his inaugural address that \u201cthe torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans.\u201d)\u00a0 Dr. Hanson elaborated on that by explaining that the Eastman Philharmonia was in one sense professional, but they were actually young people, no more than age 22, so that when the audience listened to the orchestra, they heard professional music-making but they saw very young-looking people: the accent on youth. Moreover Hanson underscored that the reaction all over Europe had been that the USA was greatly interested in the arts, and not only that Americans loved the arts, but that they engaged in the arts so very well.\u00a0 Hanson added that Europeans were surprised to come into contact with the American concept of a professional school of music within the university, such as the Eastman School of Music represented. \u00a0Dr. Fennell, when asked the same question by the interviewer, answered, \u201cAll we are doing \u2026is to try to communicate how we feel about music to other people\u201d and went on to elaborate that musical performances in city after city had, for the members of the Eastman Philharmonia, erased any concept of a language barrier. \u00a0Later on, one month after the Philharmonia\u2019s return, Dr. Hanson appeared on NBC-TV\u2019s The Today Show on February 27th, when he repeated many of the same comments that he had made in the Voice of America interview.[v]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

I will let Mr. Rodean have the final word:\u00a0 \u201cWe shall never forget these past three months.\u201d

(the French-language branch of the National Film Board of Canada) and Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Radio-Canada (the French-language branch of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).\u00a0 The EJE had come to the attention of the film\u2019s director, Claude Fournier, through his son Martin Fournier, MM \u201981, DMA \u201984, a saxophonist and member of the EJE.<\/p>\n

Released in 1983, Bonheur d\u2019occasion<\/em> was based on the novel (1945) of the same title by novelist Gabrielle Roy (1909-1983).\u00a0 It starred Mirielle Deyglun in the principal role of Florentine Lacasse; the film traces events in Florentine\u2019s life as she seeks to escape from the poverty in which her family lives in the Saint-Henri slums of Montr\u00e9al. The action takes place during World War II.\u00a0 According to Wikipedia, the novel was later regarded as having played a part in bringing about Qu\u00e9b\u00e8c\u2019s Silent Revolution. The novel has been translated in English under the title The Tin Drum.<\/em>[i]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>\u00a0I thank Professor Sylvie Beaudette, who drew my attention to an informative blog entry by Bentley Rumble, who elaborates on the novelist and on the novel and its impact.[ii]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0<\/sup> \u00a0I also thank Professor Beaudette for her insights regarding the film Bonheur d\u2019occasion, <\/em>which she described as a classic in the Qu\u00e9bec cinema repertoire.\u00a0 Several segments of the film have been uploaded to YouTube, including the conclusion.[iii]<\/a>\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n

This engagement of the Eastman Jazz Ensemble was the first instance of an Eastman School ensemble contributing to a motion picture soundtrack.\u00a0 In particular, for the EJE in its first sixteen years (founded in 1967), there had been numerous illustrious undertakings, including a 1982 West German tour coupled with a performance at that summer\u2019s Montreux Jazz Festival. \u00a0These will be under examination as \u201cThis Week at Eastman\u201d continues.<\/p>\n
