TUESDAY EVENING

MU01V.
The Philharmonic club will give it's last
concert for lnis season next Friday eve
ming, March 27, at the Swedish Tabernacle.
| 'St. Paul will be sung for the first time
I in Minneapolis. Each time a work Of this
caliber is brought out, distinct step for
ward is taken in the musical education
| of the city. The educational value of this
! work Is twofold. There is no better or
| or more sincere presentation Of st. PauPs
| iMendessohns. From both artistic and
religious standpoint all requirements are
fulfilled. The composer has followed the
! text of the Bible with scrupulous fidelity
and has fitted sentiment and religious
significance into it's musical frame with
the sure touch of genius.
| For two generations English music low
ers have continually sought this work for
inspiration and pleasure, and to-day 1t
| draws with irresistible power all lovers of
| the best sacred music.
I @''ss Cara Williams and Mrs. F.: H.
Waterman will sing the soprano and con-
tralto solos, and Evan Williams and Gwy-
linn Miles Of New York those for tenor
and bass. OF these singers. three are
Welsh, than which people none are more
versed in sacred choral work.
The chorus and the orchestra will be
directed by Mr.. Oberhoffer. Tickets will
be for sale at the Metropolitan music
store at o'clock next Monday morning.
! It is doubtful whether the coming Of any
artist to Minneapolis has aroused the in
| terest caused by the announcement of the
appearance of Kocian, the phenomenal
young Bohemian violinist at Plymouth
church. next Tuesday evening. This in
terest is excited by many things. In the
first place Kocians fame as violinist has
been waited across the Atlantic from
many Of the most magnificent private sa~
Ions of London and the continent. His
public appearances have raised storms Of
approval and encomiums. Critics have
lauded his technique. his power and viril-
ity, his delicacy, his temperament, his
musical acumen, his exq1lisitely suave and
clear, tone, his, astonishing virtuosity. 1t
has seemed as though the critics could
not find words strong enough to express
| their approval and appreciation.
Another cause for the intense interest in
! Kocian, is the fact that despite all his
wonderful alta inments he is but 19 years
. old, mere boy in years. Yet he plays
with the assurance and Ccertitude, as well
as the depth of feeling Of a man..
The honors Of the program will be
shared with Kociarl, by Miss Geyer, a
young lady pupil Of Moszkowski and josef
fy. Miss Geyer has never been heard i'll
the west, but at her debut last season al
Berlin she was the recipient of many hon
ors and congratulations, and a brilliant fu-
ture was predicted for her. Franz Spind
Ter, an accomplished accOmpanist will as
sist Kocian at this recital as he has during
the entire tour Indeed Kocian declined
" to come to America unless Spindler, his
I: lifelong friend should accompany him.
