| val has the distinction of again intro
| ducing a novelty, so that this commit
| tee has earned the title for originality
fairly.
A picked band of men from the New
York Symphony society will assist in
the aida" performance and the follow
ing we'll known soloists will make up
the cast:
Aida. Mrs. Marie Zimmerman
Amneris. Miss Gertrude May Stein
Rhadamis. ..............Dr. Ion Jackson
Ramfis. ...................Dr. Carl Duff

King ..............:.....Ed Edwin Lockhart
Scarcely less interesting will be the
Symphony concert on Tuesday, the sec
ond night of the festival, The same Or
chestra from the New Pork Symphony
will play a fine programme under Franz
Kaltenborns direction.
Signor Campanari, the great baritone
of the Maurice Grau Opera company,
has been secured as soloist for this
concert. The management is extremely
fortunate in having secured this, the
favorite of Mr.. Grau's men singers, in
that the biggest ones among them usu-
ally sail for home at once after the OPP
| era seasons close. Campanari has not
been heard in New Haven in years, not
| since he sang here in the Gounod soci-
ety's production of "Arminius," above
seven years ago or more. He is per-
haps the greatest baritone in the world
to-day, with a ringing, glorious voice,
and he is an artist of splendid attain
ments.
So many hundreds, especially among
the young people, are always so keenly
interested in the May festivals prone
made concert that word on the sub
| ject here will not be amiss. This con-
cert, as usual, will take place on Mon
| day night at the Hyperion. Mr.. Ma
than B. Fitch has consented to act
again as chairman of the dance COM
nittee, and these young men will assist
him: ]. Wilder Howe, Frederick G.
Crabb, w. Perry Curtis, Henry W. B.
Manson, Farnam Fox. George 3. Mat
| thews, Jr., Leonard Hotchkiss, Nathan
L. White, William D. Scranton and Carl
e. Beers.
st. Johns P. E. church, corner of
| Orange and Humphrey streets, will be
the scene for the opening event this
year. This is to be an innovation, too,
in the form of a cantata. LISTS set
ting Of the 18th psalm for a chorus and
tenor soloist will be sung by the choir
| of st. Johns church, under the direc-
| tion of F. A. Fowler. Dr. Ion Jackson
| will be the soloist, and at the organ
will be Charles Fowler. While this is
difficult work, it is an extremely pleas
ing one, work that. with its beautiful
melodies can not fail to appeal to
large, mixed audience.
Tuesday opens with miscellaneous
! concert at which some promising young
musicians are to be heard. The second
Tuesday concert will introduce to New
Haven Heinrich Meyn, a young tenor,
new to New Haven, who will give a
song recital. His programme will con-
| sist of a most attractive list of German,
French, Italian and English songs The
latter part of this concert will be given
over to performance of Mozart's beau
tiful "stadler" quintette for strings and
| clarinet by the following musicians:
Mr. Franz Fichtl, first violin; Mr.. f.
L. Doolittle, second violin; Mr.. E. L.
Rawson, viola; Mr.. E. H. Langzettel,
viclncello, and Mr.. Albert Case, clari-
net These musicians have played a
| great deal together and their rendering
of this charming quintette will surely
find favor with the festival audience.
An Ethelbert Nevin recital, given I'M
der the direction of H. J. Brainard, of
Hartford, will be the attraction in the
concert at two o'clock on Tuesday. the
| programme of which can soon be an
nounced, it is hoped. This popular
composer whose death occurred in New
Haven only few years ago, is one of
Americas best beloved composers. 1t
was a capital idea this, giving a pro-
gramme of Mr.. Nevin's works, and one
that will undoubtedly be appreciated
tremendously.
The festival piano recital will this
year be given by Mr.. G. Buonamici a
pianist new to New Haven, who comes
| here with the highest musical recon-
mendations from those who have heard
him.
| The Symphony concert already men,
toned closes this days events.
i On the last day of the festival a mis-
| cellaneous concert will open the morn
| ing session. This will be followed by a
! concert given by the excellent choir of
the corner Congregational church and
the Angelus male quartette of Meriden.
At two o'clock the Yale Glee, Ban.a
and Mandolin clubs will be the attrac-
ton, and very strong attraction, too
| There are many New Haveners who
have never heard these clubs, because
for their concerts it is always a diff
cult matter to get tickets. II was bit
of good judgment on the part of the
committee, this, and the wisdom of it
will be amply proven without a doubt
Franz kaltenborn and his string
quartette have a programme of cham
