John Philip Sousa, of perfectly Stimulating
the effects OF the string orchestra and OF
giving thoroughly satisfactory and finished
performances OF the great musical works
that have never before been regarded as
possible military band literature. Still an
other feature of Sousa's concerts that at
tracted much attention in Europe was the
elegance, grace and authority of his con-
Quoting. In addition TO Sousa and his
band, indianapolis music lovers will be
favored with two soloists, Blanche Duffield,
soprano, and Bertha BucAlin, violinist.

The members of the Amphion Club have
begun active preparations for their next
concert, which is to be the last of the cur
rent season. 1t will be given in the audi
forum of the German House. The pro-
gramme will. it is declared, be the most
ambitious ever arranged by Director Ern-
estiioff and essayed by the chorus. One of
the numbers that promises to be of unusual
charm is a selection which will include a
baritone solo FOR Herr Joseph S. Baern-
stein, who will thus make his second ap-
p~earance this season as the star of an
Amphion Club concert. Herr Baernstein's
name in connection with the event insures
its success, as will readily be admitted by
any one who listened to his matchless voice
at the first concert early in the present
season. Several Of the most cultured musi-
clans of this city declared that Herr Baern-
STEMS voice is the greatest baritone that
has been heard here ip many years. The
concert will be called a song recital" and
1t will constitute 6. great musical treat.
Herr Baernstein will, of course, be heard
in individual selections as we'll as in chorus
numbers with the club.
In fremont Temple. Boston, tomorrow
evening, will begin a series of concerts
that, it is predicted, will rival any SYM
phony concerts ever given in the Hub"
They will be given by the famous Leipsic
Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Herr
Hans Winderste;n. The same orchestra,
consisting of seventy-ive pieces, will come
to English'S Opera House, in this city, for
a single great concert Wednesday night.
March 20. A unique feature of the LeipSic
Orchestra is that Director WinderStein has
brought over with him from Germany two
concert masters, instead of one, each one
of whom is an artist of reputation, to-
gether with a violin virtuoso of undoubted
ability. Herr Soma Pich-Steiner has been
a prominent feature of the orchestra for
several seasons and has everywhe ere
ated the most favorable impression. One
of the most recent additions to Winder-
STEMS corps of musicians is Herr Ludwig
Lauboeck, who will henceforth share with
Herr Pich-Steiner the responsibility of the
concert-mastership, both artists also ap-
pearing frequently as solosits. True to the
tradition that the most picturesque instru-
ment of the orchestra should be played by
a woman, Herr Winderstein has just en-
gagged for the American tour of his or
chestra Fraulein Anna Engel, a highly
talented harpist.
