Mary Garden, the world renownede operatic star, opera directress and singer of songs, has never befor- been heard in Ann Arbor. On this occasion she will be assisted by Gutia Casini, 'Cellist, and Isaac VanGrove, Pianist, a combina- tion which is bound to provide an evening's enter- - A-- tainment which will be memorable in every way. She is recognized throughout the United States as "Our Mary" and is unanimoisly accused of possessing "voice, brains, and personality." January 8-IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI. When Mr. Paderewski last appeared in Ann Arbor just before 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. ~ 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 occupies 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-IMPRESARIO OPERA COMPANY. For the first time real opera will be heard in Ann Arbor when Mozart's Impresario will be presented under the general direction of Williarp Wade Hinshaw. Elaborate special staging with the most [ attractive settings will be constructed in Hill Auditorium for the occasion while the partici- pants will appear in costumes and gowns which have been personally supervised by Mr. Hindshaw. Percy Hemus, a celebrated American baritone, will take the leading role. He will be supported by an all American cast as follows: Francis Tyler, Thomas McGrana- han, Regina Vicarino, Hazel Huntington and Gladys Craven. February 1 3-UKRAINIAN NATIONAL CHORUS. This organization is probably the most famous 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 subsidy. 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 concerts. The organization is known as a "human symphony orchestra." In addition to unaccompanied choral selections, operatic airs will be included by Mlle. Oda Slobodskaja, of the Petrograd Opera, and Mine. Nina Koschetz, of the Moscow Opera, who made a sensational debut in New York last year. All of the 40 participants, as well as the soloists, will appear in costume March 9-GUY MAIER and LEE PATTISON. These two American pian- ists have created a unique position in the world of art. For several years they centered their efforts entirely in the performance of programs for two pianos, a field which they have *( made distinctly their own. So successful hav e they been that they are able to fill only a limited number of the engagements offered them. Mr. Maier is an artist of fiery tempera- ment and dash, while Mr. Pattison is more conservative. Together their performances so merge their individualities that they play almost as one. "They speak with one personality and that a strong one." ...,E ,_ _ ~j,.. , . Four Concerts by the DETROIT SYM PHONY ORCH ESTR A WITH EMINENT SOLOISTS and ONE COMPLETE PIANO RECITAL October 30-MR. GABRIL- OWITSCH and his excellent band of performers will be assisted by Ina Bourskaya, the celebrated Russian coloratura, whose record is a most en- viable one. Sh-e will appear with Mr. Gabrilowitsch in Detroit as well as in 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 member of both of these great institutions. November 20-On this occasion MR. VICTOR KOLAR will conduct the Qrhcestra in a popular program which should have a wide appeal not only to music lovers, in general but to that great class of art lovers who desire to -be entertained as well as educated. A melodious pro- gram of sparkling numbers will be provided. Raoul Vidas, the distin- guished French violinist, who was prevented from appearing in .Ann as soloist. GABRIIJOWITSCI{ Arbor last season on account of illness will appear 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. January 15-THE DETROIT SYMPHONY ORWHESTRA under VICTOR KOLAR will offer a second popular program at this time when tuneful, melodious orchestral selections will be provided. KATHRYN MEISLE, the dis- tinguished contralto who made so fine an impression at the children's concert at the last May Festival, will appear as soloist and will offer several brilliant ,attractive vocal selec- tions. February 19-THE EXTRA CONCERT SERIES will be.brought to a close with MR. GABRILOWITSCH again wielding the baton in a symphony program which will present as soloist, MR. MAURICE DUMESNIL, the cel- ebrated French pianist, who has never before been heard in Ann Arbor. Mr..Dumesnil has had a spectacular career not only in France but throughout Great Britain and the con- tinent and has appeared with practically every great European conductor. He has also triumphed in South Arnerical where he gave 158 recitals and also attained popularity as a conductor. His forthcoming American tour will undoubtedly add similar laurels to those already attained elsewhere. 1JU r---' ..~c ': DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 'y' UKRAINIAN NATIONAL CHORUS COURSE TICKETS (Choral Union Series) $4.50, $5.00, $5.50 $6.00; Patrons' t7 n MAT TFRSRS PI T I PD IN A DVANCE TN ORDFR O RFCE PT.
