son will open Monday evening with the
hrst piano recital of the season. 1t
VIII be given by Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield
zeiser in the First Baptist church in the
Teachers club course and will be her reg
ular annual appearance. There is no art
list more welcome in Minneapolis or who
has larger circle of friends won thru
her marvellous art and fascinating person
atty. @The warm interest in the artist is
reciprocal ted, as Mrs. Zeisler has strong
attachment for Minneapolis and includes
1T each year in the narrowing circle of her
engagements.
So broad and human is Mrs zeisler's
art that like all great achievements it,
and grasped by ALL Fors,tf1is reason she
brings pleasure to all in a field usually
regarded as quite restricted because few
piano players are able to rise above the
limitations of their instrument.
AS one of the greatest living opponents
of the IIeschetizky school that is now
dominant in piano music, she interests all
students of the piano who get an insight:
into the meaning of perfection of: technica
and at the same time feel the exultant
thrill of her inspiring personality.
The progra m arranged is a brilliant and
interesting one that will show the artists
powers at their best. The numbers fol-

attracted by musical events Of such mag
nitudeS and Importance. s.
The programs are most attractiVe. each
containing a symphony never before
played in Minneapolis by the orchestra.
These are an interesting contrast Of the
classic and modern schools represented by
Beethoven and Brahms. The programs on
the whole are decidedly modern and con-
tain many very interesting novelties.
Among these are Cigars 'Sea Pictures
and the variations on Russian theme,
each variation being the work of a diff
ferent Russian composer. The ''Parsifal''
number 'Good Friday Spell" will give
another welcome glimpse of the great
work so acceptably introduced by Mr..
/ Damrosch.
| The vocal soloist of the engagement is
Mrs. Willard S. Bracken, a prominent con.
tra1to of Chicago. who will sing a Saint
Saen aria at the first concert and the
"Sea Pictures al the second concert. The
instrumental soloists, according to we'll
established and commendable customs are
the leading members of the orchestra,
Leopold Kramer, violinist and concert
meister, and Bruna Steindel, cellist. Mr..
Kramer has been with the orchestra since
1887, coming from Europe where he held
this responsible position with great Or
chestras in Berlin. Amsterdam, ST. Peters.
burg, and Cologne. He received his mu-
steal education in Prague.
Mr.. Steindel has been with the orchestra
since its organization. having been
brought from Berlin by Mr.. Thomas In
Perrin he was chosen by Hans Won Bu-s
low from fifty -six applicants for solo cell
list and held the position three years. Mr..
| Steindel is a great favorite in Chicago
where his work is most familiar. He has
recently come into the possession of a rare
old Italian cello a Carlo Bergonzi made
| in 1742, that responds beautifully to his
| finest efforts.
