...program of the kind of music it was founded to perform-little-known works by American composers. John Knowles Paine's Overture to "As You Like It" and Howard Hanson's Lux Aeterna proved merely to be pleasantly melodic, soundly constructed works with undistinguished profiles. Leon Kirchner's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra belonged to the crash-bang-and-meander school of modernism, with the violins chasing random single notes in sequence while the cello stuttered insistently, as if trying to interrupt.

...exact date and length of Behrman's stay in the House have not yet been announced. Last year's visitors to Kirkland, novelist John P. Marquand '15 and composer Leon Kirchner, lived in the House guest suite in N-entry while in Cambridge and ate with the students in the House dining hall...

Why Kirchner puts a cat in front of a mirror which conflicts with it and behind a figure which jumps behind it in terms of color, is a complete mystery. Once a painting functions as an entity, poetic licence is justified. But until it does the word is meaningless. This painting does not. If the term "expressionism" means something more than emotionalism, then there is more expression in a plum by Chardin. There is more expression, for that matter...
...directors, however, have done a particularly fine job of selecting works for this exhibition which attempt to speak for themselves rather than for a school or philosophy. Kirchner, for instance, looks far more effective here with his early canvases than he did at the recent European masters exhibit in Boston...
