The orchestra is heard in several public performances each season in well selected programs featuring one or more well- known soloists. All these choral and orchestra programs are free to the public. A notable feature the past season has been the series of five historical piano concerto recitals, which have been attended by large audiences. Each season also brings a series of illustrated program talks on the con- certs given at the Mosque by the visiting orchestras, and the summer term of six weeks in June and July is featured by another series of six lecture recitals by the directors. In this connection it is interesting to know that P. M. I. was the first music school in the country to broadcast programs. An important feature is the arrangement with the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh for the exchange of credits whereby students can make music the major subject and receive from the University the A.
