General Announcement
The; University Musical Society reviews with considerable satisfaction its
record of achievements during the past century. With such a background, it
hopes to carry on in larger measure in coming years and to continue to offer
musical opportunities to members of the University and the public in general of
a nature which will justify the high ideals of those musical pioneers who half a
century ago were instrumental in organizing thie Society.
For the -first season of the second half century of Choral Union Concerts,
ten outstanding numbers have been scheduled involving the artistic services of
the most eminent artists and organizations of the day, as fojlows:
October 15 GIOVANNI MARTINELLI

December 10 CLAUDIA MUZIO

This distinguished prima donna of the Chi-
cago Civic Opera Association was heard at an
Ann Arbor Festival a number of years ago when
she had just made her debut at the Metropolitan.
Her success at that time was profound. Con-
flict of dates and absence from the country has
prevented until this time a return engagement.
She is one of the outstanding singers of the day,
both in opera and in recital. Possessing a glorious

voice of volume and of an unusually attractive~
quality, combined with a most pleasing and at-
tractive personality, she has become one of the
most popular musicians before the public.
The Pittsburgh Post said: "What an impres-
sionable person Claudia Muzio is! We- don't
know when we have seen or heard a singer who
has appealed more. She is so gracious, and she
sings so amazingly well."

Senior Martinelli, for years leading tenor of
the Metropolitan Opera Company was an Italian
boy of humble circumstances. While serving in
the army of his native land, his singing attracted
the attention of his Captain who arranged for
his musical education at Milan. In 1910 he

made his debut. Puccini cast him in his opera
"The Girl of the Golden West." Continental
appearanices followed and in 1913 he made his
sensational debut at the Metropolitan Opera
House where he has continued since that time
occupying a stellar position.

This remarkable virtuoso at the age qf twenty-
eight has twenty-five years of playing behind him.
He first played the violin when hae was three years
old. From that time on through his childhood
he averaged "six hours aday practicing. At five
he made his first public appearance and at seven
he became a self supporting citizen. He esti-
mates that he has played the violin for thirty

thousand hours during his life time. This is
the equivalent of playing nearly four years stead-
ily without a break, with no time out for sleep
or meals. The figure includes both the time
he has spent giving concerts and in practicing.
On his two previous appearances in Ann Arbor
he made profound impressions, and the public
has continually demanded return engagements.

October 30 DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

November 7 IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI

January 3 VLAIDMIR HOROWITZ

His career has been the logical development
of an extraordinary gift and he has made his
name in Europe on sheer ability. He was born
in Kieff, in 1904. He studied under Professor
Felix. Blumenfeld and graduated at the age of
seventeen, with the highest honors. In 1922-3 he
played twenty-three times in Petrograd to sold-out
houses. in 1924 he toured Europe for the first

time and last year he played forty-five engage-
ments in eighty-one days on his American tour.
He has appeared as soloist with all of the great
orchestras in America and in Europe as welfasin
recital under the most critical auspices. He. is
generally acknowledged to be "the greatest pianist
of the rising generation and the Paderewski of the
future.

IGNACE JAN
PADEREWSKI

In 1922, after a lengthy 'retirement from
pianistic activities, while he served his native
Poland as premier, Paderewski, returned to the
concert stage. It was an event of outstanding
importance in the realm of music arts. The
terrors in the war days had' infinitely enriched
the wealth of beauty in his soul, while his in-

terpretative powers had broadened and in his
pianistic touch there appeared a fresh quality
that lifted the great Paderewski to even loftier
height than he had hitherto experienced. This
"King of Pianists" will be heard for the fifth
time in Ann Arbor, in one of his brilliant sto-
pendendous programs.

November 19 THE ENGLISH SINGERS
This group of six, Flora Mann, Nellie Carson, "C n of the finest concerts"; while F. D. Perkins
Lillian Berger, Cuthbert Kelly, Norman Stone in the New York Herald Tribune is quoted as
and Norman Notley, have for many years culti- saying: "A fascinating demonstration." The New
vated ensemble singing. Their programs include York World said that "their perfection of tone
beside the madrigals, ballets, canzonets, etc., of production ws a revelation"; and the New York
the Elizabethan period, Italian and Spanish Sun stated that "the pictorial effect of the singers
street cries, folk songs, modern English and as they sang was suggestive of some rare painting
French part songs and certain other works with from an old masker." Such are the glowing
piano accompaniment. Olin Downes, said tributes of the great critics.
DecemLbr 3 THE LENER-BUDAPEST QUARTET

Miss Rethberg is one of the shining lights of
the Metropolitan Opera House. Her home was in
the Schwarzenberg in the Erz mountains. As a
child she sang the songs which her mother sang
and at seventeen entered the Dresden Conserva-
tory to study piano. She chose singing however
and after a strenuous period of study and effort
made her debut in "Der Freischutz," followed
shortly by, an appearance in Carmen. At this

time Richard Strauss invited her to join the
Vienna Opera. In 1920, Nikisch engaged her
for the New Year's Concert at the Gewandhaus.
She concertized in the large cities of Germany
and the Continent and soon forged to the front.
Her American successes have been equally bril-
liant before the most critical and discriminating
audiences.

March 10 DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

OSSIP GABRILOWITSCH, Conductor

CLAUDIA
MUZIO

This quartet composed of Jeno Lener, first
violin, Joseph Smilovits, second violin, Sandor
Roth, viola and Imre Hartman, violoncello, will
come to America for the first time this fall. All
are products of the Budapest Academy. three
being pupils of the great Hubay, while the fourth,
Mr. Hartman, studied with Popper. The London
Eveningi Standard says: "Their success has been
extraordinary and they have raised chamber music
to a pitch of popularity in this country it had

not achieved since the good old days of Joachim.'
In 1919 they were members of the Grand
Opera Orchestra in Budapest. When the rev-
olution broke out they retired to a remote Hun-
garian village to devote their energies to chamber
music. Two years later the quartet made its first
appearance in Vienna with Ravel, the great
French composer to hear his own string quartet
played. Conquests of Paris, London, and all
Europe followed.

The full and varied activity of the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra is a romance of musical
achievement. In the short time of nine years,
while it has been under the baton of Ossip Ga-
brilowitsch, it has built for itself solidly among
the best orchestras of the world. Its distinguished
conductor, in addition to possessing international
musical renown, has sound judgment which has
evolved sound constructive policies. No effort
has been spared in assembling the excellent per-
sonnelof. players including many of international

fame, and today the orchestra is famous not only
for its technical mastery but for its exquisite
purity of tone.
Counted in years the Detroit Symphony Or-
chestra is one of the youngest organizations of
its kind in the United States but it has achieved
so much and has reached such a high standard
of performance that it can easily stand compari-
son with the oldest orchestras, not only of the
United States but of Europe.
