MUSIC By Helen Fetter. ! bers of the Clan MacLe and tke Da evening at the City ington Pipe Band usstste tral ce HE coming week has but one professional concert, the first per- formance here this season of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under its renowned lcader, Serge Koussevitsky. This apparently quiet week, however, is hut the calm before a storm of opera all next week, when the Chicago Civic Opera Company will give four per- formances here. In addition, there will be concerts by Efrem Zimbalist and the New York Symphony Orchestra. Thus, once the month gets fairly under way, February will prove no laggard in presenting musical offerings. Later in this shortest nronth of all the year come Moiseiwitsch, the pianist, on the 15th; Fritz Kreisler, great violinist, on the 19th; Eliza- beth Rethberg, Metropolitan soprano, on the 25th, and Benjamin Gigli, Metropolitan tenor, on the 26th. These are all high lights for the month. There will also be a number of other musical events that will come up from time to time during the month. * K ok X HE Washington Choral Saciety, for many years a leading organization in music circles here, was the subject of a reorganization last Tues- day night at the Thomson School, when about 40 people enrolled and plans were made for a concert later in the Spring. Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes, head of public school music, is in charge of the society and hopes to have a very large enrollment by the time rehearsals are begun for this concert. This choral socicty has lived through not a few vicissitudes with some fine achievements under earlier conductors, It will be interesting to sec what Dr. Baraes will do with it * k% PERA is becoming more and more popular in America. All over the country embryonic operatic companies are being formed under civic muspices, or music club groups are giving recital programs with “excerpts” of the more popular works. At the same time, along with the interest in opera generally, has wa'ked a persistent shadow—the idea of a real Ameri- can opera, perhaps 2 jazz opera. Then, recently, it was the shadow that | became the foremost reality when W.

The title of the work will be “Deep River,” and will, naturally, contain many touches of the negro spirituals in its music. In this connection one might mention the fact that it has always seemed odd that some ambitious American composer has not felt the rugged simplicity of the theme in the life of Lincoln appropriate for an inspiring opera.

The National Federation in the development of music of Music Clubs in the United States announces that due to the effort on the part of Burnet C. Tuthill, national chairman of that department of federation work, concerts built entircly on American chamber music compositions, th are to be given this Winter. Leo Sowerby, both well known first of their kind on record, L Cincinnati, Ohio, was the scene of the first festival of chamber music during the past month. E nest Schelling and American composers, whose works have | aroused much interest and admiration, as well as discussion, in some cases, appeared personally in programs of their works as pianists. Founclation Announces Novel Plans for Merg’er (B} trustees of the Juilliard Musi- cal Foundation have announced plans for the establishment and main- tenance of a comprehensive institution for music education, to be located in the city of New York This Institution will be supported by the Juflliard foundation and will be in charge of a board of nine men, care- fully chosen for their experience and special fitness, corresponding to a board of trustees of a coliege or uni- versity. The institution will include several schools for the graded teach- ing of music to s Instead of cre tion, with departments of des, it was deemed wise to incor- porate several exisung schools into one general plan, and to this end the Institute of Musical Art will become a component part of the educations work of the Juilllard Musical Founda- tlon. After a careful survey of the entlre field of musical education in the United States, the Jullllard Musi- cal Foundation reached the conclu- sion that the Institute of Musical Art occupled a leading and distinctive po- sitlon among the schools of music in this country, strongly established, well conducted and a demonstrated suc- cess. An arrangement has been made by and between the trustees of the Juilliard Musical Foundation and the trustees of the Institute of Musical Art whereby the latter is to become the conservatory in the proposed Juil- Mard group of schools. The trustees of the foundation and some of the trustees of the institute haye had such a merger under consideration for more than a year, and have reached an agreement to the entire satisfac- tlon of both parties. The merger will go into effect at the close of the pres- ent school year. In the meantime the work of the institute will proceed as heretofore. Tt is expected that two other schools will be embraced in the general plan, in addition to the School of Graduate different Music Study now in successful opera- tion by the Juilliard Foundation. One school will be for the special purpose of training teachers, supervisors and directors of music, and negotiations are pending with an established edu- cational institution to co-operate in this important field of work. The other school will be for the training of children of musical ability and promise, along lines that have been tried and approved. The board of trustees of the Insti- tute of Musical Art, with the full and cordial approval of the institute founder, Mr. James Loeb, and its director, Dr. Frank Damrosch, is re. ported to have unanimously voted te co-operate with the trustees of the Juilliard Musical Foundation so that the institute shall become one’ of the schools of the new Juilliard School of Music. Certain members of the board of trustees of the institute have been glad to accept the Invitation of the Juilltard trustees to continue their in. terest in the work of the Institution by accepting membership in a board of sovernors of the central organiza- tion. The Juilliard trustees have proj that the institute’s endowment. fuea of $5,000,000, contributed by James Loeb, shall be continued in the hands of special trustees and, in honor of James Loeb's mother, shall be known as the “Betty Loeb Fund.” After pro- vision has been made for certain pen- slons, the income of this fund is to be used for scholarships to aid worthy students of the new Juilliard School. Thanks to the wisdom, efficiency and devotion of Dr. Frank Damrosch, who has been the Institute’s director from its inception, the trustees are able to turn over to the larger organ- ization a thoroughly equipped con- servatory, housed in modern buildings, free of debt, with its expenditures well within 'its income, a splendid faculty and the largest student enroll- ment of its history. New York Symphony In Wagner Program 1E third concert of the New York Symphony Orchestra In Washing- ton this season will be held Febru- ary 9. “Rienzi” and “Parsifal,” Wagner's first and last operas, have been select- ed for excerpt presentation.

It was so well received that Capt. Stannard has had an arrangement made for military band, the work of Carl .H. Schmohl. This descriptive overture portrays the battle and burning of the City of Puerto Plata, Manuel Ponce’s song, one of the most favored works of this noted Mexican composer.

Arthur Smith’s auspices February 11 at the National Theater. The other three are the “Joachim,” owned by the wealthy Berlin banker, Mendelssohn, descendant of the com- poser; the “Messlah,” in the posses- sion of Hill, the London dealer, who has withdrawn it from sale, and the “Alard,” owned by a wealthy Scottish tamily. Since its purchase in 1715 the “Titian” has had only four own- ers. The original buyer was the Count d'Evry, from whose family the Count de Sauzay acquired it. Next the firm of Bernadel, predecessors of the anclent house of Caressa & Fran- cals, obtained it, and in 1872 it went to a wealthy American living in Parls under a deed of sale that it should be sold only back to Caressa & Francais. It remained In this fam fly for 50 years, during which time neither dealers, collectors, writers nor photographers were permitted access to it. The owner dying two years ago, it was returned to Caressa, who intended to withdraw it from sale. Mr. Zimbalist had been trying for some years to persuade the owner to part with the “Titian." Late in the Summer he learned there was a possl- bility of acquiring it. At the same time he learned that his old friend and fellow artist, Jascha Heifetz, was to sail the next day for Europe. Zim- balist packed hastily and went with him, sharing his suite. In Berlin, he sought out a friend who was close to Caressa and commissioned him to ne- gotiate with the Parisian dealer. The sale was quickly consummated, the Berliner returned with the “Titlan"” and Zimbalist took it to England, there catching the first boat back to Amer- ica. His friends and acquaintances remarked the speed with which he had 4one over and back, but they did not learn the reason until o New York re- porter, happening to be In Mr. Zimbal- ist's Park avenue home, accidentally Ur trellita,” is got the story.

SER{}E KOUBBEVITZKY, celebrated Russian conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will conduct an interesting program at Poll's Thea- ter Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. ‘The symphony of the afternoon will be Brahme' “First Symphony in C Minor.” Probably no score of Brahms is more widely know and generally loved than his “First Symphony.” It is considered to show that Brahms was influenced by the “Ninth Sym- phony” of Beetheven, so that Von Bulow called this work the “Tenth Symphony.” This label aroused much opposition and was as vigorously de- fended. Disputation, however, could never lead to conclusion when it in- volves comparison of two such total- ly different composers. Of Brahms' four symphonies this first is the most dramatic in its concept. It is in its exultant finale that a principal theme has been thought to suggest the great choral theme of the “Ninth- Sym- phony.” The slow movement i pne of the finest ever written. Mr, Koussevitzky will be heard in | the music of his own country when he performs an orchestral suite from Rimsky-Korsakov's opera, “Tsar Sal- tan.” "The opera is based on a,fairy legend of Russia, and the suite’ calls for the large modern symphony orchestra which this famous Russian composer uses in-his most gorgeous tone paintings. The French school will be represent- ed by Debussy’s prelude to ‘“The Afternoon of a Faun.” Debussy is perhaps best known by this setting in tones of Mallarme’s poem, in which the faun tries vainly to retain the dimming and evasive image of his recent experlence with a group of nymphs. This music of mood and subtle suggestion is in its way more potent than poetry of words. Kousse vitzky is famous as an interpreter of Debussy. He is reported to have been the first to make the Frenchman’s music known in Russia. The opening overture will be from ‘Weber's “Euryanthe.” Seats are on sale at Mrs. Wilson- Greene's Concert Bureau for this and other concerts in the Artists’ Course. . 1 5te Guley Canine, Huzel Hughes, Ceci Lillian_Adelaide Watson, Fttt 11 Davidson rank Dug Evans, J [ Meyoy Myers, B uner, W irank s B, Harlan of Rand: mong the local young singers, v ton February 11 for & of Intensive study Herbert Withersp udied in New ndall bes in this city several yeal e A studio at 1764 K vest This voung b famtlfar to rad tone’s vofce Is quite audiences, as he sings n these prog frequently.
