St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-24

In the way of music a treat is prom
ised that has never been heard before
in Minneapolis. The greatest attraction
is undoubtedly the engagement of the
Strauss orchestra from the imperial
court of Vienna. It is Edward Strauss
who has come to America with the
orchestra which has been conducted by
the different members of his family for
more than sixty years, and by himself
for a fifth of a century. 1t would in
deed be wonder if an orchestra led so
long by four such eminent composers
and conductors, should not be easily the
foremost orchestra in the world for the
Interpretation of the lovely music for
which the Strauss family are without
equals. and indeed without competitors.
This brilliant organization of musical
talent will give twelve grand concerts,
for one week only, from Sept. n to Oct.
q, the close of the Exposition. This
orchestra will perform nowhere else in
the Northwest and will probably never
again come to this country.
Reeves American band will render
the sweetest of music during the whole
of the time of the great show. d. w.
Reeves, who has been for the past twen-
ty-fve years the leader OF this band, the
band par excellence of all New England
during the last fifty years, will no doubt
divide with the great leader from
Vienna the musical honors of our Expo
sition this year. There will also be
three general concerts given by Prof.
RaymOnd's chorus of 1000 school chill
dren, and four grand concerts by Prof.
Steneff's chorus Of 200 mixed voices.
The lovers of music will, therefore,
have no dearth of the art. and they will
not doubt that this feature alone would
be we'll worth the whole price of admis-
sion.
The art department Of previous Min
neapolis EXpOsitiOns has always called
forth words of commentator, but this
year it will far surpasS any Of the previ-
Gus efforts. Ii. Jay Smith. the art
director, has spent long period OF time
abroad gathering foreign collection
that will not fail to please local con.
nOisseurs; in fact, it will prove one of
this country.
