 This programme for the third concert by the Boston Symphony orchestra, to be given at the Hyperion Theater next Monday even ing, is even mere attractive than those of the two preceding concerts. The appear ance of Miss Aus der One will be rendered doubly interesting from the fact that she will render for the first time in public con- certo just written by Mr. Max Vogrich. Mr. Vogrich was born in Herrmsnstadt, Transyl- vania, and is the son of conductor well known in Austria and Italy. He began the study of music in his fifth year and first ap- peared in concert at the age of seven. From 1866 to 1869 he studied at the Leipzig con- servatory under Moschel1es and Richter. During the next four years he went on an extended concert tour through Hungary, Austria, Russia, Germany, France and Switzerland. After this tour he visited Italy and conducted operas in it's principal cities. He also made two visits to Spain and travelled for year through Mexico, Venez- uela and Columbia. He first came to the United States in 1879 in company with his friend Wilhelmj, the violinist, with whom he afterward visited Australia, where he remain ed for three years as conductor of the Sydney Leidertafel and the Sydney Philharmonic so- ciety. In 1885 he returned to the United States and has since resided in New York city. He occasionally appears in concerts, but devotes his time principally to compos- ing both vocal and instrumental work, many of which appear in Schirmer's publications. Berlioz, in his autography, gives an anus attended the production of his first opera at Paris in 1886. He writes: ''At last the opera was played. The overture received ex- aggerated applause and the rest was hissed with admirable unanimity." Several subse- Quent revfvals of the opera have failed to se- cure for it the popularity of standard works. The overture, however, which contains the principal themes of the opera is always greet ed with applause. It bears the same relation | to "Benvenuto Cellini" that the overture of 'Rienzi" does to Wagner's operatic failure. The selection of Antonin Dvorak has been
 played here before, but it's repetition will be
 heartily welcomed. In the works ! predominates. William Standale Bennett | said of Dovrak: "No national prop I erty affords better index to the nature ! of people than their music, and if the Slay onic music indicates one thing more than an- | other it is the sensitiveness from which ! spring changes of mood. Dvorak's compost ! tions show an almost childlike play of feel- ing as though the masters nature answered, like an Helian harp, to every breath passing ! over its chords. Herein lies the humanness | of it as distinct from the artifciality of a ! mere music-maker." This characteristic of | Dvorak's music is nowhere better portrayed ! than in the suite to be performed on Monday I evening. The several movements are couched ! in musical patois so individual that they ! instantly reveal their author, mirror the home festivals and rustic merrymakings and show ! how ready are his resources and how brilliant | is his coloring.
 Since Beethoven symphony was not Be- | lected no better substitution could be made ] than this symphony by Schumann, which has never been performed here. This com- position was completed in 1945, and the com ! poser has given a clue to the general inten- tion of his work by stating that he sketched it during period of great physical suffering ! and severe mental conflict in the endeavor to combat the difficulties of his circumstances. | This conflict left it's traces behind it, and in
 fact led at last to its unhappy death. Its l rendition cannot fail to interest all lovers of
 Schumsnn's music and is probably the most interesting of his five symphonies.
 MT. Gericke has certainly promised an un-
 usually interesting and instructive musical ! entertainment, and he should be greeted by
 a large audience.
