BLOSSOM MUSIC CENTER, twelve miles north of Akron, is where the Cleveland Orchestra makes its new $6,500,000 summer home. Situated on a wooded bluff overlooking the Cuyahoga River, the 4,600-seat festival pavilion opens July 19 with Beethoven's The Consecration of the House Overture and Ninth Symphony led by Music Director George Szell. Guest Conductors William Steinberg, Charles Munch and Karel Ançerl, Pianists Van Cliburn, Byron Janis and Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Tenor Jon Vickers will appear at the weekly Friday-Saturday-Sunday concerts.

Trumpeter Louis Armstrong will close the festivities on Labor Day.

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY MUSIC FESTIVAL, Ambler, Pa. During a six-week festival of music and dance, the emphasis will he on chamber music, solo recitals, and the smaller-scale symphonic works of the masters—from Beethoven to Bartók performed by such artists as the ubiquitous Van Cliburn, Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Tenor Richard Tucker, Cellist Leonard Rose, Clarinetist Benny Goodman, and Anshel Brusilow's Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Ballet will take over the Greek-style amphitheater on four consecutive Thursdays beginning June 27.
