Pierian Group Revives Pre-War Competition

Another pre-war tradition, the Pierian Sodality's competition for original musical compositions by Harvard and Radcliffe students, will return to the college scene this winter.

The winning composition will be performed by the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra at its Cambridge concert on April 23. In the past, many promising young musicians have had their work performed for the first time in this manner.

The compositions, which must be placed in the Pierian box at Paine Hall by March 8, must be suited for a college orchestra, although modern idiom is not discouraged. The competition is open to all graduate and undergraduate students now at Harvard and Radcliffe.
