...Joseph Silverstein is the BSO's concertmaster, and first violin of the Chamber Players.

It is easy to understand why the BSO's press officers like to have him act as a spokesman for the orchestra: he has a pleasant, reassuring manner and a way of keeping in control of interviews.

In a day when the networks dominate broadcast news, they have accomplished the near impossible for a local station: last week they won a George Foster Peabody Award for "a significant illustration of radio used to investigate and report on community problems."* Their prize-winning program was a half-hour documentary on strong-arm police tactics in Atlanta...
