the practicability and established be-
yond . question the permanency in
Southern California of an orchestra OF
40 or more skilled musicians, capable OF
interpreting and giving to the public the
best thoughts of the greatest composers
Q of all countries.
In announcing the second series of
concerts desire to state that the care
fully considered plans for the seasons
work provide for system of thorough
rehearsals, that the personnel of the
orchestra has been improved, important
instruments added, and the complete
original orchestration OF the principal
compositions has been procured, thus
insuring even better work in the con-
certs for 1884.
The programmes will be composed OF
the best music, both classic and popu-
lar, comprising selections euited to va
ried tastes and will include numbers by
the greatest vocal and instrumental
soloists obtainable.
The favor with which the Philhar-
monic orchestra was greeted during its
initial season is sufficient warrant for
the earnest cooperation of all interested
persons, musicians, teachers, students,
and lovers of music, in its efforts to
build up an educational musical society
of the first order, that shall be in keep
ing with the refined and intelligent
tastes for which our city is acquiring a
