Original Toronto Star caption: Wall-to-wall musicians tested the architectural soundness of Massey Hall on Saturday; and although the rafters quivered; the building held up under the volume of music produced when the members of the 53-year-old Toronto Symphony joined the six-month-old Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra to create a 180-player ensemble. Dress rehearsal photo gives idea of spectacle it produced.
