JC . HE nights are growing longer and the evening air has a percep- tible and clinging dampness in its cold breath, so that the fine band concerts, the backbone of summer music here, are about over. Thaey huve been given by the United States Marine and Army bands in local parks, and have seemed unusually fine this year. «Both Capt. Santelmann and W, J. Stannard deserve much credit for the work of their organizations * % ok % OW the lines in front of concert ticket windows are lengthening, too, and local music circles are getting quite excited over all the delight- ful trcats promised for Washington during the winter which is almost ,pon us. .‘ The first of the Star concert series, under T. Arthur Smith, Inc, for the seaspn will be Paul Kochanski, the clever young. violinist, who is rapidly becoming popular and whose name is more and more frequently linked with the great violinists, Fritz Kreisler and Jascha Heifetz, recog- “4¢ nized leaders among the violinists of today.. Kochanski will open the a lif “peared successtull i f i i i « Star series with a concert on October 11. « The first of the concerts by solo artists under the management of Mrs. Wilson-Gree prima donna of th Philharmonic cours recital, ¢ will be that of Lucrezia Bori, the charming Spanish Metropolitan_Opera Company. She will open 'the on October 29 with a specially requested costume ¥ R R E very first of all the many rich musical entertainments to be pro- % - vided for Washington music lovers this season will be the four operas to be given by the Wagnerian Opera Company when it makes its debut for the season at Poli’s Theater in this city. A lengthy and inter- esting array of artists, many of whom are already famous, will appear +. with this company in the three Wagnerian and one Mozart operas. The : first opera will be “Lohengrin,” conducted by Edouard Moericks, ofi Oc- tober 15, almost exactly a month from today. The first orchestral concert will be- the New York Symphony con- cert on October 23, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, with Olga Samaroff, pianist, as the soloist. * k% 'OMORROW the doors of the public schools will be reopened, and thousands of Washington boys and girls will stream through them to take the preliminary steps necessary to enrollment in various classes for the winter term of school work. Tomosrow also marks the tenth versary ‘of the establishment of ‘an interesting understanding and scheme of co-operation between the public schools and local music teach- ers to give music students special credit for work done outside school hours. This applies particularly to the students who are majoring in music and studying voice or any instrument, such as piano, violin, organ or harp! Tl?c one member of the board of examiners especially appointed by L the school board to give the bi-annual examinations of these students’ work and consult the reports written by the music teachers and sent to = the board every five weeks, who has been on the board during the entire decade of this experiment, states that she is proud of the success achieved by this methed. The practical application of this plan, originally ar- xanged by Mrs. Martin A. Morrison and taken up by the local high schools through consultation with the Piano Teachers’ Association, has shown it to be of great value to both the individual student and to the schools. Each new student who wishes to major in music while attending a focal high school should see the head of the music work in that school for the necess arrangements to be made. In Eastern High School, Mrs. Frank Byram has charge of music; at Western, Miss Lucy Lynch; at Central, H. P. Hoover; at McKinley Manual Training School, Miss “ Florence R. Keene, and at Business there is a new music teacher, but Mrs. Frances Butts, organizer of the school orchestra for so long a period, %is also interested in this work, and will see that any youthful inquirers .Bet to the right person. This co-operation of the public schools with local private music teachers will mean much to progress among music circles of the city. 1+ There is nothing like a friendly spirit of getting together on any proposi- tion for the development of that particalar suijcct. . * ok ok ok NOTHER phase of local music that is blossoming into being again o after the comparative drought of summer is the church music. Quite ,a group of the local churches are presenting reorganized choirs and new *Soloists in the first programs of the season today, and by the time that the professional concert season opens the local music will be in full swing. i Heads of music clubs are calling first meetings of their organizations, too, and programs are being prepared. Music is with us again. HELEN FETTER. St. Aloysius Church Choir is Reorganized. REORGANIZATION is the order,of the day in Washington cholr circles, one of the most radical in- novations taking place at St. Aloy- #ius’ Catholic Church, where a choir of mixed volces will supplant the choir of male voices that has done such excellent work In furnishing the musical portfons of the services for many years past under the direc- tion of Glenn W.

AMERICAN ENRY SCHOENEFELD is noted not only as & leading American composer, but also as conductor of the Women's Symphony Orchestra of Los Angeles, Callf., the only complete symphony orchestra of its kind in existence. This American,” who is generally classed ay one of the principal inno- vators in ths development of our native music, was born in Milwaukee in 1857. His father was a musician ug taught the son for several years. When he was seventeen years old Henry Schoenefeld went to Leipzig, 'where he studied for three years un- der Relnecke, Cocclus, Papperitz and Grill. A large choral work with or- chestration compowed by Schoenefeld, won a prize over many competitors, and wan played at Gewandhaus con- corts with the composer as conductor. He was graduated from the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1878 and spent the next year studying with Eduard Lassen of Welmar. Following this year with Lassen, Schoenefeld returned to the United States and ‘went to Chicago, where he lived as teacher, orchesira leader and composer untli moving to Cal- itornia. He was leader of the Ger- i 1502, and of the Germania Turn- Yerdin of Los Angeles, berinning i April, In 1892 Mr. Schoenéfeld won the National Conservatory pri with his compositio phony.” one of the beat works. , W man. of the committes award at that time, is sald to have compliment. ed % winning composer most highly {he prize ofersd To Ameriian: com: o o can com- by Henrl Marteau for a sonata for violin and plano.

Wilson-Greene. Operatic History Repeated. BLE singers and conductors from the younger generation, graphic staging and good stage direction are generally held to be reasons why the Wagnorian Opera Company in a few months laet geacon stirred so much nterest In the musical world. Oper- atic history indulged in one of its repetitions when a company of sing- ers came last January to the Man- hattan Opera House in New York in performances of the operas of Rich- ard Wagner and other composers. “Yeard ago,” wrote Pitts Sanborn from New York, “the town.had been solemnly, even' mournful, assured ain and again that all the opera singers_worthy of sing ng in New York were already singing there, when ain Qscar Hwmmerstein Marhattan opora theré were sing- ing in New York u Melba, a Bressler- Glanoll, a Bonei, a Renaud, a Gilbert, a Sammarco, an Ancona, a and nobody protested that any o them was unworthy.

The rest no mlflarer had been at pains to bring to_this country. “What did we stralghtway learn from this neglected assemblage? —that baritones still exist for the big Wagnerlan parts who possess fresh vibrant voices and an ablility to use them with skill and under- standing; that there is no compul- sion, because of a dearth of dramatic sopranos, to allot every soprano part of heroic caliber to a strotched-out contralto or a distended Iyric_so- prano; that the race of genuine Wag- ner conductors {s not extinot. These are some of the truths that the visit- ng Wagnerians have impressed on New York.” Of the four performances to be given by the cgmpany during its en- gagement at Poll's Theater of this city, three of them are by Richard Wagner.
