I I ___ Dunbar, Still, Help To Break Down Prejudice In Berlin NEGRO MUSIC TRIUMPHS Q IN GERMANY EXCLUSIVE! Los Angeles (CNS) ‘ A valuable step forward in wip ing out racial prejudices,” said the Allied Control Council when it learned t^at Rudolph Dunbar, j great Negro conductor had been invited to conduct the celebrated Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, which until now had never wnown the novelty of a Negro conductor Early in July, Mr. Dunbar, fresh from concerts in England and Par is, where he had conducted leading orchestras with atonishing success, made a trip to Berlin, anj while there. Leo Borchard regular con ductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, asked him to conduct it in a series of special concerts. Mr. orchard especially asked for the "AfrojAmemean Symphony” by William Grant Still, to be included in the program, for news of this symphony’s enthusiastic reception by audiences in Paris had already reached him. Mr. Dunbar agreed ) to-do this, and than returned to I Paris. Just a few days ago, Mr. Dunbar tried to get to Berlin to fill the en gagements he had promised, but for seven days he was unable to fly be cause of bad weather conditions. Finally the weather cleared and he was able to get to Berlin. Once there, he was startled by the bad news that Leo Orchard, the man who asked him t° come, had been shot to death a few- nights before when the car he wag riding in had failed to obey the orders of Amer ican gentries to halt at a military traffic post. However, this did no[ affect Mr. Dunbar's proposed con cert. for on September 2nd it act ually took place, and then the re sponse of the Berlin public to him, as a conductor and to the music of William Grant Still, which he play ed, among other compositions, was so markedly enthusiastic that the. powerful Associated Press of Am-1 erica sent several dispatches back I to the United States about it, and it was reported in news broadcasts in this country. The orchestra a &reed that Mr, Dunbar was one of the finest conductors it had ever had, and the audience accorded him a spontaneous ovation. Rudolph Dunbar, born In British Guiana, is a British subject, a for. mer resident of the United States, and the first Negro ever to conduct the orchestras in many of Europe's leading musical centers. He has been engaged to conduct now in Vienna, and in October he will de vote an entire concert in rajrls to the works of William rant Still— the first time this has ever been done before on such an auspicioug occasion. i k § A:- , . §' . -;•* ... in o musical ,C-S^ story spectacular Pm?
