BANDA ROSSA CONCERTS
CELEBRATED ITALIAN BAND AT EN-
GLISH's NEXT THURSDAY.
Princeton GIee Club VIII Fave Things
It's own Way at the Grand Mon
day-SIusicaI Notes.

The Banda Rosa, famous italian mus
zeal organization, whose playing during its
present American tour has been a revela-
ton of novelty and artistic excellence, will
give two concerts at Engishs Opera House
next Thursday afternoon and evening.
Called by King Humbert for all great fes-
tivities in Rome, carrying off the first prize
at the Christoforo Colombo festival at Ge-
nca in 1892 from sixty-four competitors, en-
bracing the pick of the best bands in south
ern Europe, and achieving most wonderful
success on it's tours through Germany the
past few years-its magnificent record
caused so much comment through Europe
that the Messrs. Resented felt justified in
securing it for an American tour. The band
numbers sixty musicians, under the leader
ship of Maestro Eugenio Sorrentino, and
includes eight eminent soloists and Carlotta
Stubenrauch, a thirteen-year-Old violinist OF
great German reputation The programmes
to be rendered differ somwhat from the or
binary band concerts. The best Fench and
German composers figure prominently, to-
gether with the name Of the honored ana
revered Verdi, as well as those representa-
tives of the younger Italy of to-day-Mas-
cagni and Leoncavallo-and certainly from
an artistic standpoint the concerts should
attract and interest all lovers of music and
devotees of the divine art. Although the
band has been in this country only since
September it has created a sensation in the
Eastern cities. Beginning with New York,
where the first concert was given 1t has
charmed all classes and is invariably asked
to gives return concerts. It's playing is de-
scribed as something unique and entirely
different from that of American bands
There are a number of instruments in the
band never heard in this country.
