the Boston Symphony concerts. which are
to be given in this city during the winter
season. has never been so high as 1t is this

has been greater than ever before, and the
general interest taken in the whole series
has been much more than ever before in
the history of the orchestra's appearance
in Washington. The first concert will take
place at Metzerott's Music Hall Thursday
evening" November II. The program is an
excellent one in the instrumental numbers,
while Mr.. G. .Campanari, the eminent bari
tone, has ample opportunity to show his
powers in the two selections for which he
is billed. The first numDer will be Beeth-
ovens "Eroica" symphony, in E fiat ma
jor. 1t consists. of four movements, and
will be given in its entirety. The two beau-
tiful numbers for strings, the Minuet Of
~" Wfll-o'-the-W'srs and the Waltz of the
Sylphs. from Berlioz's "Damnation of
Faust" will also be given, together with
Wagner's The Emperors March," in b
fiat major. The program is well calculated
to show the strength of the orchestra in
all Its parts. and will be a delightful rendi-
ton of some of the most beautiful music
ever written. Campanar will sing the
monologue from Verdfs "Falstaf" and the
prologue to Leoncavallo's II Pagliacci."

cert seats commenced today at Metzerotts.
