January 8-IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI. When Mr. Paderewski last
WSr appeared in Ann Arbor jutbftore he began his meteoric career as a statesman in the strug
gles of his native Poland he stated that Hill Auditorium was the finest music hall in the world.
a The memory of his last Ann Arbor concert had much to do in influencing him and his New
York manager in including Ann Arbor among the limited number of music centers which he
. will visit this season. For years he has been the standard by which great pianists are
measured and today he still ,ocupies a position at the pinnacle. Those who have heard
him-in private recital in his California studio state that the muscial recess which his duties as
stateman necessitated has only added greater musicianship to his artistry.
January 24-IMPRFSARIO OPERA COMPANY. For the first time
real opera will be heard-in ArqArbor when"Mozart's impresario will be presented under
the general direction of William.Wade Hinshaw. Elaborate special staging with the most

pants will appear in costumes nd gowns which have been personally supervised by Mr.
Hindshaw. Percy Hemus, a.aclebrated American baritone, will take the leading role. He
will be supported by 4n all American cast as follows: Francis Tyler, Thomas McGrana-
han, Regina Vicarino, Haicl-funttngton and Gladys Craven.
February 13-UKIANNA TIONAL CHORUS. This organization
is probably the most famou assembly of choral singers which has ever been on tour. For
three years the organization -under, the directorship of Alexander Koshetz, has toured Eu-
rope under governmental sqbsi4. Through \the persistent and effective efforts of the
distinguished impresario, Max Rabinoff, the Chorus. was induced to come to this country for
a limited number of concert The organization is known as a "human symphony orchestra."
In addition to unaccompanied chbral selections, operatic airs will be included by Mlle. Oda
Slobodskaja, of the Petrograd..Opera, and Mme. Nina Koschetz, of the Moscow Opera,

March 9-GUY MAIR and LEE PATTISON. These two American pian-
ists have created a unique -%t};on in the world of art. For several years they centered their
efforts entirely in the perf rmnce of, programs for two pianos, a field which they have
made distinctly their own. successful have they been that they are able to fill only a
limited iiumber of the eng g ents offered them. Mr. Maier is an artist of fiery tempera-
ment and dash, while Mr.' attison is more conservative. Together their performances so
merge their individualities a they play almost as one. "They speak with one personality
SHETZ and that a strong one." -, ' m4%:f*-
October 30-MR. GABRIL-
OWITSCH and his excellent band

viable one. She will appear with Mr.

Ann Arbor, .shortly after which she
will divide her time between engage-
ments with the Metropolitan Opera
Company and Chicago Opera Associa-
tion, being the, only artist who is a
regular meber of both of these great
institutions.

AB1ILOWITSCH gram of- sparkling numbers will be
provided. Raoul Vidas, the- distin-
Suished French violinist, who was
./prevented from appearing. in Ann
Arbdr last season on account of illness will appear as soloist.pa
December 4-MR. CORTOT has been referred to by distinguished authorities
as a second Paderewski. He plays with imagination and fire and can thunder like a
Titan and then a moment later can glide over the same keys with a swan-like grace.
Brilliancy, force and strength are qualities which supplement his fine artistic equipment.
England, Spain and the other countries of Europe have been electrified by him.
