...players), local (half of the musicians come from east Texas), young (average age: 30) and very enthusiastic over its new conductor. Though there is an impressive "Founded in 1901" at the top of its programs, the present orchestra is really only five years old: in 1945, after a wartime hiatus, Hungarian-born Antal Dorati (now conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony) reorganized it and made it for the first time a competent, nationally respected organization.
