Liberati's Band will give four concerts at
the Seattle opera-house tomorrow and
Tuesday, opening with a grand matinee
performance Monday afternoon at 2:30.
Liberati is conceded to be one of the
first musicians in America. Even the re-
nowned Gilmore lacks the subtle power of
expression which carries away Liberati's
listeners to revel amid sweet mountain
echoes and the laughter Of sparkling waters
as they fall from dizzy heights His notes
are sweet as the warbling of the skylark
and soulful as the song of the nightingale.
Liberati is a master of pathos. sublimeiy
gifted Interpreter of divine melody, an ora
Gle of musical contrasts. He is, in word,
music, grace, harmony and harmonic in
telligence. The immense variety of instru-
ments used in his band would require con-
siderable scrutiny and information before
names could be assigned them. There are
oboes, saxophones. trombones. horns, picco-
los and the more familiar instruments. And
this great band of fifty pieces is in Liberati's
hands mass of subjugated matter, swayed
