Courboin, who will be the soloist at the sixth pair of con- certs by the Detroit Symphony Or- chestra, Thursday and Friday even- ings, Dec. 18 and 19, is one of the great organists of the world. Ile is a Belgian by berth but for 20 years he has lived in this country. He was in the beginning a prodigy. At 12 he was organist at Notre Dame College in Brussels and at 18 he was organist of the Antwerp Cathedral. Mr. Gabrilowitech has arranged a program of extraordinary interest. There will be two novelties. The first will be the Sixth Symphony of Charles Marie Widor for organ and orchestra; the second, Aleander Scri- abin's Second Symphony, "The Poem of Ecstasy." Widor, who is more than 80 years old, is actively engaged as organist of St. Sulpice in Paris. Ile is the last of the giants who contributed notably to organ literature, the others having been Cesar Franck, Alexandre Guilmant and Camille Saint-Saens.
