HERE are a number of entici ng concert programs for Washington music lovers for the coming week, giving many varieties of the modes of interpreting music, with harp music predominant. While harp music 1s familiar in Washington, it has been some time since a professional hdrpist has appeared here, excepting always two or three excellent harpists who make their home in this city. Friday afternoon Albertq Salvi, who has been called “the world’s greatest harpist,” will play in joint Poli’s Theater. . Tomorrow night Mabel Dilling, stately instrument in- a recital at afternoon and tomorrow night Zoe recital with the Duncan Dancers at a popular young artist, will play this Central High School, and both this Cheshire, daughter of John Cheshire, famous British harpist to the court of England, will play at the First Congregational Church, It looks as though “the harp that once through Tara's halls” would be echoing through the lovely vistas of Washington all week. * ok ok ok EOPOLD STOKOWSKI, one of the most giited orchestra conductors in the United States and also popular abroad, will lead his splendid’ organization, the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, in the first concert of the season to be presented by this orchestra in Washington Tuesday afternoon at the National Theater.

Mildred Dilling and Ratan’ Devi Tomorrow Night. The Waahlugton Society of Fine Arts manounces a change of program for the concert to be given in the Central H School tomorrow evening. As r v d thi concert was to U Miss Mil- dred Dilling, harpist, and Mlle. Mona Gondre of the Th er de I'Odeon, Paris, who was to have given a serie: of French and English folk songs in costume. Unluckily Mlle. Gondre was prevented by illness from sail- ing on the date fixed, which was to the have brought herto this country just | in time for the concert. In her place Miss Loraine Wyman was secured and announced. | Again, unluckily, the fates interfered. But it is an ill wind that blows no good. Through Miss Wyman's instrumen- tality the society has-been fortunate in securing Ratan Devi, who has won universal _plaudits by her unjque singing of folk songs of the east and west, including East Indian ragas and Kashmiri folk songs. Of her music, Tagbre, says, “It is immacu- ely Indian.” Bernard Shaw writes, 4To hear Ratan Devi sing the inter- vals of a much more subtly divided scale than ours {s not only technical- ly Interesting, but most and_enchanting artistically Butler Yeats, Philip Hale and Percy Grainger praise her unstintingly. She sings her songs in costume and accompanles herself on a tambura. This music from Indla, combined with a delightful pragram of selec- tion for the harp by famous com- posers, promises an evening of ex- ceptional character and pleasue. T Philadelphia Symphony Tuesday. “The Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra. will give the first concert in its serfes of five at the New National Theater Tuesday afternoon. Leopold Stokowskl will direct the forces, com- prising 107 virtuoso musicians, said v many New York critics to be the finest band of artists now in exist- ence. In order to meet the demand at heme, the Philadelphia Orchestra has this sedson curtailed its out-of-town ‘concerts to include only New ' York, ‘Washington and Baltimore. Out of adotal of 104 concerts for the season, ! 74 iare scheduled for Philadelphia, Jeaving only 26 for other cities. It was estimated that last season 292.- 090 persons heard the Philadelphia Orchestra at home and on tour. There §% & waiting list of 1,000 for the New York concerts, and twice that many for the Friday afternoon and Satur- day evening performances at home. Four soloists have been chosen for (‘Washington. They are Nina Koshetz, woprano; Elizabeth Bonner, contralto, and Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, planists. There will be & guest con- ductor at the January concert, who is yet to be chosen, but' for all the bther performances " Stokowski will conduct. The Washington concerts are under tthe management of T. Arthur Smith, e 4 | far from Emilio de Gogorza Thursday. Lovers of good singing in this city, those who wish to hear a beautiful voice handled with consummate art in a program which is certain to be the usual list of songs, should be interested to hear that Emi- {lio de Gogorza, after an absence of | several years, is returning to give e of his delightful recitals at the National Theater next Thursday aft- noon at 4:30 o'clock. The concert will be under the local management of T. Arthur Smith, Inc. For reasons which seem to' satisfy him, but do not satisfy his great public admirers, who would hear him oftener, he limits himself to a com- paratively narrow fleld, glving only a few concerts each season. It is a £00d many years now—fully twenty —since Gogorza became a familiar pame to the American public. It was he that brought to the public among the very first some of those wonder- ful songs which have come out of Russia, by Moussorgsky, K and the like.
