The services of Mrs. Georgia Kober-
Schussler, a pianiste, Of Chicago, has
been secured. She will be assisted
by her husband, DR.. Schussler, a
bass singer, and it is likely that
some local talent. will be employed in
the concert. r
Mrs. Schussler was d former resi-
dent Of this city. having resided here
three years before her removal to
Chicago, and she will be heartily
welcomed to Mitchell for the emin-
ence she has attained in the musical
world. For the past eleven years
she has been a pupil and assistant in
William D. Sherwood'S music school,
OF Chicago, where she has attained a
high reputation as a teacher and
concert pianiste, and in the latter
sphere she has palyed some very prom
inent engagements. At the second
Omaha exposition Mrs. Schussler
had the honor of playing Greig's A
minor Concerto with the Thomas
Orchestra before the National Con.
gress of Musicians, a selection she
rendered without a note before her,
which in itself was something re.
markable. The year following Mrs.
Schussler toured the principal cities
of the United States and Canada as
the solo pianiste with the grand con-
cert company Of the Ridpath Lyceum
Bureau. For the past two seasons
Mrs. Schussler has filed the role of
solo pianitse and teacher at the great
gathering at Chautauqua, N. Y, an
engagement which certainly is a fine
acknowledgement Of her splendid
capabilities. The Chautauqua So
ciety has engaged her for next season.
The people of this city will certainly
have a fine opportunity to enjoy an
evening Of rich music. DR.. Schuss-
ler, although engaged in the practice
of his profession, is a musician of
more than ordinary note, and fire.
quently fills concert engagements.
