National Youth Orchestra to perform in Stratford The National Youth Orchestra of Canada will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its founding, which had it synthesis in Stratford, by returning to perform on the Festi­ val Theatre stage on Monday, July 30, at 8 p.m. Under the baton of Conductor Ole Schmidt, the Orchestra’s pro­ gramme will include ‘The Magic Flute, K.620: Overture’ by Mozart, ‘A Letter From Mozart’ by Col- grass, ‘Firebird: Suite (1919)’ by Stravinsky and ‘Symphony No. 9 in C major, D.944 (The Great) by Schubert. Tickets ($9.00 - $11.00) are available through the Stratford Festival Box Office. The National Youth Orchestra of Canada sprang from the experience of noted conductor Walter Susskind with the National Youth Orchestra Association of Great Britain. In the summer of 1960 he seized the opportunity to implement his ideas during a ‘Civic Band and Orchestra Workshop’ arranged by Toronto businessman James McIntosh in Stratford, where Susskind was engaged as conductor. Later that year, the NYO Association was chartered as a non-profit organiza­ tion. This first formal training session took place during Christ­ mas week, and the NYO made its debut on December 31, 1960, at Toronto’s Massey Hall. In 1961, Milk Board unhappy with GATT plan Ontario Milk Marketing Board (OMMB) Chairman, John Core, has expressed disappointment with a draft GATT document that could undermine Canada's $7.7 billion dairy industry. The document describes the framework for continuing the re­ maining six months of international trade negotiations on agriculture. Authored by Aart de Zeeuw of Holland, Chairman of the GATT Negotiating Group on Agriculture, the document’s text does not mention clarification of GATT’s Article XI: 2(c) (i), Mr. Core said. “Without a clarified and streng­ thened Article XI, the ability to apply import controls would be the NYO made the first of many appearances in Stratford. Since then the NYO has performed in every major city in Canada and several in the United States, as well as in England, France and Ger­ many, and at the Edinburgh Festi­ val. jeopardized,” he explained. Import controls are needed to operate the domestic supply management pro­ gram used by the Canadian dairy industry. “Chairman de Zeeuw’s views, as expressed in this draft document, would appear to make it impossible to operate legitimate supply man­ agement systems,” Mr. Core said. “Canada has vigorously defend­ ed supply management as a fund­ amental element of Canada’s agri­ food system, and must carry the message to the Negotiating Group on Agriculture meeting on July 12 that our system actually meets the objectives to set out in the draft GATT document.” The original function of the NYO was to prepare a student orchestra for an annual cross-coun­ try tour. In three decades, it has become an internationally respect­ ed educational body, training young Canadian musicians for careers as professional orchestral The stated objectives in the document are “to minimize trade distortion and increase the market orientation of production ... with minimal trade effects.” Mr. Core further stated that Canada cannot be a party to policies that undermine the stabil­ ity of the Canadian dairy industry. The OMMB has been working with Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) to bring milk producers’ concerns to the attention of Agri­ culture Minister Don Mazankow- ski, International Trade Minister John Crosbie and Canadian trade negotiators. Ontario’s 9,200 milk producers are not reassured about the way players. The success of this ap­ proach has been proven by the fact that approximately one third of Canada’s orchestral musicians are alumni of the NYO and others have gone on to become notable teach­ ers, soloists and chamber players. current GATT negotiations are progressing. The OMMB through DFC will make every effort to urge the federal government to remain firm in its support for the Canadian dairy industry.
