. .DACHGA DTE - - M ICHIGAN'S GREATEST CONCERT Z!iERIE-S e TEN ALL- STAR CONCERTS ... CONCERT SCMEDULE.. . JOHN McCORMACK HILL AUDITORIUM ROSA PONSELLE John McCormack, the charming. Irish tenor who will inagurate this season's Choral Union series has been heard in Ann Arbor several times. More than a full student gen- eration, however, has elapsed since he paid his last visit to the Univer- sity, a sort of interregnum during which time he was either out of the, country. or engaged in the "talkies." Irish to the core, with a quick sensi- tive temperament, possessing- a "voice of a century" he has become the idol of music lovers everywhere, and his concerts wherever they take place stand out prominently among the season's most delightful and worthy events. Wednesday, October 21 ALL CONCERTS BEGIN AT 8:15 EASTERN STANDARD TIME First Concert Wednesday, October 21 John eCormack Renowned Irish Singer of Songs Rosa Ponselle "won her spurs" during the operatic season of 1913- 1919, when almost over night she stepped to the rostrum of the Met- ropolitan Opera House and "took the audience by storm." Opera or recital have no terrors for her. Her brillianC' artistry, intelligence, and general understanding of the "eter- nal fitness of things" in the artistic world has given her an assurance and poise which always make her ap- pearances tremendously successful.

PERCY GRAINGER Fourth Concert Thursday, December 3 The Revelers- Famous Quartette Fifth Concert Tuesday, December 15 Detroi Symphrny rh t Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Conductor Percy Grainger, piano virtuoso, conductor, and composer has had as happily unique career which has brought to him distinguished success in this triune field. When a lad of twelve years of age he , made his debut in the spacious Exhibition Building, in his native Melbourne, before a huge and enthusiastic audi- ence. Since that time he has always been received with the same fervor and enthusiasm, and a most delight- ful artistic glamour has enshrouded all, of his appearances. Sold-out houses with many turned away are general occurance 'even when he plays in the largest auditorium. Friday, February 19 III 3 Sixth Concert Wednesday, January 13 Tuesday, October 27 Don Cossack Russian Chorus. Serge Jaroff, Director - 0 DON COSSACK RUSSIAN CHORUS Serge Jaroff, Conductor The Don Cossack Russian Male Chorus made such a profound im- pression last season that to satisfy persistent demands of music lovers they have been re-engaged for this season. The organization known as "The Singing Horsemen of the Steppes" is made up entirely of ex- patriated members of the former Russian Imperial Army. They are virtually "men without a country" and travel on "Wtansan" passports. Their singing, whether it be the rev- erent chorus of Tschaikowsky, the dulcet svreade of Vannikov, the bold and stirring tale of the Twelve Rob- bers, or the wonderful ringing choruses of the Don Cossacks on the March, always move their audiences by that thrilling timbre of tone uni- que with Russian male voices.

Tuesday, December 15 YEHUDI MENUHIN r I Yehudi Menuhin, the "greatest boy violinist of the century," comes to Ann Arbor at the "ripe age" of fourteen or fifteen years, after several seasons of public acclaim. Wisely, his astute managers have permitted only a limited number of engagements each year, and these have been largely in th musical capitals of Europ and in a few of the great music centers of America. This year the Choral Union series is included and the great student concert audience will have an opportunity of hearing a young lad who has already won inter- national distinction.
