Tho most notable event of our concert season
and the ono to which all lovers OF music will lool

will bo the concor.s to ba given next week by th,
| Thomas orchestra in combination with the Ru
binstein concert Houpe-uanus the two vocal
| lists, Liobhart and Ornerry, with whose services
concert-goers will uncomplainingly dispense
This combination has neyor been effected in AM
other city in the United States except New York
and the managers Of the Star Lecture Course
therefore, deserve Unusual credit for allowing
lovers OF music to have this rare treat. Hith.
erto We have only heard Rubinstein in sole
pieces, but now ne shall have an opportunity to
hear him in his OWL concertos and those OF the
great composers which require the orche:kral
accompaniment. What that accompaniment
will bo in the hands Of such an orchestra as
Thonas' it is unnecessary to state. Such an
opportunity to hear music performed as it should
be may not come but once in lifetime. The
first concert takes place March II, Mt the Michi-
gnn Avenue Baptist Church, and the second on tho
18th, at the Union Park Congregational Church.
The programmes have been made up with
unusual care. In addition to tho concortos, Ru-
binstein plays some minor pieces from the
classical masters, and WieniawH!i has come
admirable selections. Mr. Thomas has also
made the orchestral part simply admirable, and
in thorough keeping with the spirit Of there
