...Kirchner conducted Monday night, is very good. Although a very young orchestra, it has reached a high level of maturity. Its faults are relatively few-the cello section is weak, the basses could improve a bit, but on the whole it is highly professional.

...Miss Ruth Rubinow, the solo cello, rivalled each other for tonal monotony and absolute abandonment of nuance. Miss Janet Packer, the second solo violin apparently sensed this lackluster playing and performed with considerable artistic concern.

As a combination, they were nearly flawless, freely molding the music into the shape they desired without intruding between the music and the audience...
