THE BIsPHAM CONCERT.
Great baritone to Appear I'm the
Artists Series at Peoples Church.

UHoAa bdrAtOhe 10 appear In the
Artists Series at Peoples Church.
The sale of seats for Mr.. David Bisp-
ham will open next Friday morning at 8
a. m. at Howard, Farwell & Cos, and
the concert will take place on the follow
ing Monday evening.
The genuine enthusiasm which has been
generated by the Artists series of con-
certs has been increasing week by week.
Notwithstanding the explicit advance no
uces that have appeared, the musical
PUBIC were not prepared for the actual
high level of excellence which has been
maintained from the first. The audiences
nave increased In size, and have warmed
into greater fervor than was ever known
In any musical events in this city. No
woman ever received such an ovation here
as Schumann-Heink, and no pianist was
ever so rapturously greeted as De Pach-
mann. After he had played steadily for
nearly two hours the audience absolutely
refused to leave at the conclusion of the
concert without just one more number.
The attractions to come are equal and
In some respects greater than those Of
the past. BiSpham, the wonderful bari
tone, equally great In opera, oratorio and
concert work, has the added fascination
OF being an American, and the patriotic
heart can swell with pride, for he is our
own, and then he is able to sing English
as well as French, German and Italian
His song recital has been looked forward
to from the first as one OF the star en-
gagements of the course. He will be fol-
lowed by a double number, Petschnikoff
the Russian violinist, and Lachaume, the
French pianist, which will be, from the
point Of view of high art, the browning
wonder Of the series.
David Bispham is the leading man in
the Grau Opera company, and he is so
expensive that Mr.. Grau only uses him
in the greatest engagements, and releases
him for his favorite work. song recitals
on the concert stage. Popular prices will
prevail, and great audience Is expected.
A sacred concert will be given at the
Cathedral this evening by the Cathedral
choir. Moderati's vesper service will be
rendered by forty voices. The same
vespers was sung two years ago at the
Cathedral The impression created was
most favorable. The choir has been re-
hearsing for several months, and the per-
Torrance should be smooth and finished.
