oBERHOFFER AND PITTsBURG's
ORCHESTRA.
The rumor that Emil Oberhoffer of
this city has been offered the former
post of Victor Herbert, as director, Of
Mr.. Oberhoffer. The eastern journals
that gave the matter currency agree,
nevertheless, that, as politicians say,
the Minneapolis director is the "1ogi-
cal candidate" for the, ;Pittsburg va
cancy. These newspapers point out
the marked success, that Mr.. Oberhof-
fer has attained in a few months with
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra,
according to the testimony of visiting
artists. The same writer's recall that,
before coming to the northwest ten
years ago, Mr.. Oberhoffer had already
gained high standing as an orchestral
leader in New York city,
ceived proposal from Pittsburg Mr..
Oberhoffer is not prepared to say.
THE question of salary, Of course"
said he yesterday, cannot be alto
gether ignored. The leader. of a SYM
phony orchestra usually receives not
gets $4,000 or $4,000. Mr.. Herbert
believed that he was entitled, at Pitts
burg, to $4,000 for five months work,
and it was because his supporters
there were unable to meet this request
that he removed to New York. He is
very popular in the metropolis; sew
eral important organizations wish to
organize an orchestra Of his own.
''Still I should not willingly leave
Minneapolis. I hope to build up here
one of the best orchestras in the coun-
try. The organization is In it's infancy
now, but I'm glad to say that it's grow
ing fast. All 1t needs is continuance
of loyal support from our Minneapolis
musicians and public"
Perhaps Mr.. Oberhoffer is not dis
| pleased that the serious work of the
Minneapolis orchestra has convinced
many doubters. The project is no
| longer described as an experiment. In
deed, not a few musicians of repute in
other cities have expressed a desire to
| join this high grade orchestra, the flu
ture of which appears SO well assured.
AS to the next concert of the SYM
phony orchestra special interest is
conferred upon the Goldmark Sympho-
ny, program composition of equal
merit and popularity: It's descriptive
! theme is 'The Rustic Wedding'' set
forth most picturesquely in garden
scene, a bridal song, a wedding march
and allied movements.
