this famous organization has not be en-
heard, nor Is there any concert company
on the globe that has given so large a
number of concerts.
During long and successful career of
nearly two score years, the Mendelssohn
Quintette Club has given almost ten
thousand concerts In this and other
countries.
The Mendelssohn Quintette Club is IN
exoelled as interpreters of classical works
of the great masters, however the expe-
rience of many years has proven, that it
Is necessary occasionally to deviate from
the policy Of giving entirely classical
concerts.
In order to make their concerts both
instructive and entertaining, the pro-
gramme Of the club will contain works
which are calculated to please the gen.
eral public as well as the most fastidtous
of listeners.
Quite naturally during the number OF
years that the Mendelssohn QIintette
Club has before the public 1t must have
undergone changes, IS IL Ia almost i'm
possible to keep the same five persons
together for thirty-eight years. This is
advantageous, because, with the young
artists comes fresh blood, new ideas and
the desire to keep pace with the progress
and advancement of the times. la this
way the club is kept at the head Of all
similar organizations In America. In
the selection Of vocalist the greatest
care has been exercised, and in the
young and handsome personality OF Miss
Anne Carpenter the club has secured a
singer who will create a genuine sensa-
ton and be decided feature in the
clubs concerts. The prices are as usual.
