ZELDENRUsT HERE TONIGHT.
The Great Dutch Pianist to Give Concert at
49, the Academy.

tuS hSduStUy.
Eduard Zeldenrust, the great Dutch
pianist, will be at the Academy tonight.
He will give a programme consisting OF
selections from Bach, Beethoven, Chopin,
Schubert, Schumann, Wagner and List.
This appearance will be extremely inter-
esting apart from the prominence Of the
artist who il reckoned as one of the
four leading piansts in Europe. in view
of the fact that the concert to be given
at the Academy is one Of the first that
the pianist will give in this country. HIS
first appearance was made last Friday
night with the Cincinnati Orchestra, and
Leldenrust won a great ovation, when
manifested itself in twelve calls after
single piece. He made a tremendous I'M
preston, and his success was most con-
spicuous. AS in London, so in Paris, Ed
,lard Zeldenrust has celebrated triumph
after triumph with his art. The success
of his concerts on the other side has been
almost unexampled. and the leading crit
les of both metropolises declare that he
is not only the possessor Of an excellent
technic, but also of that higher quality
Of artistic insight into the intentions Of
the composers whose works he undertakes
to interpret.
Zeldenrust appears here as the third at
traction of the MacLachlan series. He
was preceded by Madam Fisk and the
Peabody Faculty, and he will be followed
by Madam Nordica and the Kites Band
The concert tonight will begin at $50
O'Clock. and the doors will be closed be-
tween the rendition of each number.
