(or, driving is fun again)"; and Icelandic Airlines promotes "LOWEST AIR FARES TO EUROPE" with routes from New York to Britain, Norway, Luxemburg, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. Steinway & Sons of 109 W. 57th Street advertises "VAN CLIBURN PLAYS ONLY THE STEINWAY," while Baldwin Pianos features Leonard Bernstein at 20 East 54th Street with the telephone number Plaza 3-7186.

Additional content includes an "ABOUT THE HALL" section noting the three hundredth anniversary of Handel's birth and the Carnegie Hall International Festival running from March 1st to May 20th, 1959, mentioning violinist Alexander Schneider, the New York Pro Musica, and the New York Oratorio Society with Adele Addison. A Folkways Records advertisement from 117 West 46th Street, New York 36, N.Y., carries the heading "FOLKWAYS FIRST IN FOLKSONG." The program also notes a summer session at the New York College of Music, 114 East 85th Street, running June 22nd through July 31st, and includes articles on "FRANCE'S PROVENCE TO FETE MIREILLE," referencing Frédéric Mistral (1830–1914), and "Casals at Prades," concerning Pablo Casals and the Prades Festival.
