 The first Of the low-prieed. concerts in woolsey hall. under the auspices of the Yale university department of mu- sic. comes on Wednesday evening, No- vember 16, when Alexander !Guilmant the great French organist. gives re- cital on the NeWberry organ, This se- ries of concerts has much of promise in it, and the people of New Haven will have the opportunity of hearing some of the best of American and European artists at a price not possible at any other city in this country, and but few in Europe. Without great hall this would be impossible, and the plan would have been impossible two years ago, because there was no auditorium large enough. Woolsey hall, with it's seat ing capacity of 5000. solved the prob lem. Yale signified it's willingness to nelp the plan along by permitting the use of the hall. All the concerts are under the auspices of the department 7of music of the university, the sym phony concerts as well as the artists recitals, and it is really to this depart ment of Yale, which, under Professor Parker, has been doing So much to up- lift the music standards of the city and state, that the credit for much of what has been done should go. Pro- lessor Parker has for years looked for ward to such time as now appears to be at hand-great performances of good music at popular prices-prices that any one can afford. More than fifteen hundred people hold reserved seats at the symphonies for less than thirty cents a concert, and more than thou sand seats will be on sale for Guilmont, the most famous organist in the world fof twenty-five cents.
 The GuiImant recital without doubt be one of the musical events of the year no matter what may follow him. He IS one of the greatest organists living or who ever has lived, a genius and thorough msician in every sense of the word. The programme he will play IS one of uncommon interest, including as it does compositions from the German, French. English and Italian schools, The biggest number on the programme is Guilmont's own Seventh Sonata, HandeTs D minor piano concerto, one of the loveliest of works, also appears on the programme, and there is num- Der given to improvisation, at which Guilmant is said to be marvellous. The great organ in Woolsey hall should give out new beauties under the hands of this master.
