SEIBERT SUNDAY CONCERT

Afternoon at the Opera
House.

A definite date, April 90, has now
been arranged by the Schubert club
for the coming of Ysaye, the great
Belgian violinist. An iron-clad legal
contract has been signed by both
parties, and nothing but sickness or
death or some unforeseen accident
can now prevent his coming. 1t is
hoped that those who have course
tickets will retain them until this
concert. All persons who have pur-
chased parquette seats can ex-
change them for three $3.50 seats
for the Ysaye concert. All who have
balcony seats can exchange them
for three 81 seats for the Ysaye con-
cert. If any ticket-holder prefer.
however, to have but one seat for
the Ysaye concert, two-thirds of the
money he has paid out will be re-
funded after that concert.
More than usual interest attaches
to the next concert of the ST. Paul
Choral association to be given at the
Peoples church. Thursday evening,
April Is, because of its being in the
nature of testimonial benefit to the
director, Samuel A. Baldwin, who for
several years has given his best eff
forts, untiringly and unselfishly, to for
ward and promote all musical interests
in st. Paul. Possessed of the highest
order of ability as musician and con-
ductor, carefully trained for his work
in the best schools of the old world, he
has benefited st. Paul in the highest
sense and to the highest degree AS a
partial recognition of his worth to the
city, our citizens will surely see to it
that the Peoples church is crowded
on the evening of this concert Then,
too, the programme is of unusual in
terest. Selections will be given from
Hadn's oratorie, "Crea tion," and Men
delssohn's Hymn of Praise" will be
given complete. These productions
have not been given in st. Paul for a
number of years, and representing as
they do, the best work of these COM
posers from an exceptionally attractive
programme.
The soioists engaged are Mrs. D. F.
De Wolf, soprano, who needs no intro
duction to a st. Paul audience Her
singing of the solo parts in "GalIia" at
a recent concert of the Choral associa-
ton is very favorably remembered
Charles A. Knorr, of Chicago, will
sing the tenor roles. Mr.. Knorr is
recognized as being at present our best
American "oratorio tenor" The basso
is Dr. Carl E. Duff, of New York
H9nose singing here in the Messiah"
earlier in the season will be remem-
bered with the greatest pleasure by
those who heard him.
The chorus has been augmented, our
local singers rendering their assistance
TO insure the hest results in this direc-
ton. Orchestral rehearsals are al
ready under way, and everything
points to a most perfect production of
these great works.
Tickets can be secured from any of
the ladies or gentlemen whose names
follow, or from any of the music teach
ers in the city, or at Howard, Far
well & Co.'S music rooms. The man
