THE COMING CHAMBER CON-
 CERTS

l
 The fifteenth season of University
 Chamber concerts will begin with the
 concert on February and, the atten-
 ton of students is asked to the history
 and work of this feature of the musical
 life of New Haven.
 This year more than ever before, the active interest of every member of the university is earnestly desired by the committee in charge.
 Although these concerts have been an element of the college life for so long, the object and claims of the institution are again set forth especially to arouse the interest of the newer members of the university
 The aim of the Chamber concerts is to bring within the means of every one in the university, music by one of the best and most famous string quartets l in the country for merely nominal | price.
 
 and light free of expense, and any money left in the treasury at the close | of the season is kept over for the next year.
 The Kneisel quartet which will give all the concerts, have played together for great many years as an organiz- ation.
 Mr Frank Kneisel, the first violin, is considered by many one of the most remarkable masters of his instrument in the country. His violin is Stradi- varus of 1717 and is of remarkable tone, quality and power. Mr. Kneisel is concert master of the Boston Sym phony and in the quartet appears to splendid advantage both as an artist and leader. The cello is played by Mr. Alwyn Schroeder, whose perform ances on this instrument are very im- pressive. The other members of the quartet are MT. Karl Ondricek second violin, and Lewis Svecenski, viola.
 Organized in 1885, the quartet has giv- en total of 900 concerts in the prin- cipal cities of the United States and | Canada. They have given a regular l series of subscription concerts in Bos- ton, New York, Washington, Baltimore, | Worcester and Hartford and also ap- | pear at Yale, Harvard, Princeton and ] other universities
 Not only has the Kneisel quartet per- | formed at its concerts the standard | works of the classic composers, but it | has all the important novelties in l chamber music of both European and | American composers.
 During the present season they have performed or will probably perform among other pieces the following quar- tets: Beethoven, op. IS, No. 5; op. 56, No 132; op. 135. Haydn, D major, op. GA, No 5. Brahms, B flat major, op. 67 Caesar Franck, D major. Greig, c minor, op 27. Dvorak, F major, op. 96. Also number of other compost tions which they have never before per- formed.
 The concerts will be four in number and they will be given on the follow ing Thursday evenings in North Shelf field hall; February 6, March 6, April r and May l. dates which have been 2hosen so as to conflict as little as pos slble with lectures and meetings of the college organizations. The financial success demands the sale )f at least 400 tickets. The price of course tickets, which are now on sale tt the bursars office and Steinert's, TIT Chapel street is $2.50, a reduction from hat of last year. Single admission will oe $1, as formerly.
 When the fact is taken into consid- eration that the price of a single seat n New York is equal to the cost of he entire course in New Haven, there ;hould be no difficulty in securing the hearty cooperation of the entire uni 'ersity body. f,
