Syracuse Symphony Plays At Ilion High School

Margaret Marsh, guest piano soloist of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, gives an informal demonstration of her style of playing, following the first of two performances of the orchestra yesterday at the Ilion Central High School.

Margaret, a ninth grade student at Clary Junior High School in Syracuse, was not the only teen-ager to perform. Ilion High's Wallace Gay, (second from right), an eighth grader, was given the opportunity to conduct the orchestra in a portion of the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Greig. Standing from left, Alan A. Allen, music coordinator at Fayetteville Manlius Central School; Peter Becker, Ilion eighth grader, Wallace Gay and Stuart Raleigh, assistant conductor of the orchestra.
