concert he will play three movements of the

| training early, at the age Of Z, and was
| pupil Of Max BrOde, one of the best known
artists in Germany and conductor Of the
koenigsberg Sinfonie orchestra. The Masonic
lodges of his native city, Koenigsberg, took
such an interest in his talents that they paid
for mis- entire scientific and musical education.

from German literary college, Mr.. Riedels-
berger went to Berlin and studied for four
years at the Stern conservatory. Emile Sau-

given until an organization has been perfected

things are promised.

four numbers that have never before been

sen and Tschaikowsky, and will be found
worth hearing as additions to the general

delsberger, violinist, will complete most at
