PHILADELPHIA is to have a series of
choral and orchestral concerts on grand
scale, in the second week of May. Seven
are to be given in that week
under the auspices of chartered assocla-
tion of public spirited Philadelphians, the
music to be performed by a chorus of five
hundred and fifty thoroughly trained
and an orchestra of one hundred
skilled musicians. The scheme is not a
money making one, but is designed to put
Philadelphia in line with New York, Bos.
ton, Cincinnati and other centres of musi-
cal culture in the patronage of this art.
