Nine. Lilli Lehman is acknowledged the
greatest Isolde among the Wagner singers
and much enthusiasm has been reused by
the announcement that she will sing selec-
lions from Tristan and Isolde at her re-
cital in the Lyceum theater Jan. Is. The great
composer was personal friend OF the
singers mother and often used to visit her
home to talk Of his plans and work. He took
the greatest interest in Nine. Lehman and
after his death she became a protege of Frau
Wagner. Further interest viii be given the
Wagner numbers by the famous Wagner stu
dent, Reinhald Hermann, who will give ex-
planatory talks the selections and will
also accompany Nine. Lehman on the piano.
In St. Paul Nine. Lehman will give a
miscellaneous program and in consequence
many st. Paul people are planning to come
over to hear the Wagner numbers.
1t is rather interesting to know that Nine.
Lehman is day the only German singer
who has been received with enthusiasm in
Paris since the Franco Prussian war, but now
the Parisians, like the Prussians, look for
ward to the yearly song recitals which she
gives in their city. ....
Liebling the eminent concert pianist, will
appear in the Metropolitan theater tomorrow
| afternoon People who have heard piano re-
citals will now have opportunity of hear
ing one in which the great pianist is accom-
panied by thirty-seven musicians, all lend
| ing their harmony to make a grand number,
with the piano predominating. Aside from
| this, Liebling will play two solo numbers, to
give an idea of the possibilities with the
piano, and there will be numbers with the
piano and the string orchestra. While tho
advance sale during the week has been large
there are still some of the best seats left

office tomorrow afternoon will be able to get
good places. Liebling plays in ST. Paul with
the Chicago Symphony orchestra this evening
and then comes to Minneapolis for one day
only as he leaves on the night train.
Frank DAM, Jr., received an offer during
the week to play a short engagement in Mil
waukee with his now famous symphony or
chestra. While it will be impossible this
year for Mr.. DAM to accept any Of these
out-of town engagements because of local
contracts and because he has not arranged
for any tour work, he expects that next sea-
son he will be able to make short trip.
Mr. Danz is musician of taste and good
poise. He knows that he has succeeded IN
getting together musical company that is
playing with spirit and fervor, but he feels
that he must get step nearer perfection be-
fore he parades the name of Minneapolis in
other cities, attached to musical organiza-
ton. BY next season, perhaps for a short
summer tour, he may have his orchestra in
the form he desires, and then such a trip
may be taken. When it is taken, Milwaukee
will be one of the first places visited.
The next concert of the orchestra will be
given Sunday afternoon, Jan. 10, but this
time at the Lyceum theater, for; through in
advertence, the Metropolitan management
made. contract on eae of the DAM dates.
This will not occur again, and the rest of
the concerts will be at the Metropolitan. For
the next concert Miss Amelia Ripe will be
| the soloist. She has been studying in Eu-
rope and has been heard but little since her
return, so that opportunity to hear her
will he appreciated by musical people. A
| splendid program has been prepared, with
! some specially attractive features, and the
| best concert of the series may be looked for
ward to.
| The second of the series of chamber con-
| certs By the Hoevel String quartet will be
| given Tuesday evening, Jan. 81, in the Uni
| tartan church. The Mems club of the church.
| which assumed financial responsibility for
! the concerts, feels well rewarded for its eff
| forts by the many compliments the quartet
received for its work in the first program.
| On the whole it was far above the expecta-
| lions of even the most enthusiastic admirers
of the quartet. The program for the second
| concert will be entirely different from the
| first one and will be announced next week
/; Adolph Grethen will give two lecture re-
