GRAND MUSICAL EVENT,
BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT
 AND PADEREWsKI.
Visit of Great Boston 0rganization 1t wooIsey Hall Next Monday Evening soloist VIII be Ignace Jan Pader-
 

A musical event of first importance will be the concert in Woolsey hall on Monday evening. March 20, when the Boston symphony orchestra will make it's annual visit to New Haven The importance of the concert Is vastly ir- creased by the fact that the soIoist of the occasion will be Ignace Jan Fade reWski, the master pianist, who is now making his sixth tour of the United States. This will be positively his only appearance in New Haven. and New Haven will be the only city except Boston and Chicago, which will have the opportunity to hear him play with an orchestra
 The visit of the great Boston organi- zation is always the red letter day in the calendar of New Haven music lov- CTS. and now that in Woolsey hall New Haven has a concert auditorium which has few equals in the world, the inter- est displayed in these concerts is great CT than ever. Last year when the Bos- ton orchestra played fin Woolsey hall for the first time 1t was demonstrated that New Haven was really hearing the band under really favorable conditions. This year. with Paderewski as soloist, the hall will be put to still severer test.
 The great Polish pianist has been in this country giving recitals since De- cenber 12, when he landed in San Francisco after his first tour in Aus tralia. Saturdays recital in Chicago was his fiftieth and he expects to give about as many more before he sails for Europe in May.
 Again has 1t been demonstrated that his hold on the American public makes him unique in the musical history of this countrv. It is fourteen years since he first visited America in which , time he has made six tours and if the general rule had proved true in this case he would have returned to have found his popularity greatly lessened, for that has been the history of every artist who has ever visited America. But Paderewski seems to be the excep- tion which makes the rule. His suc- cess artistically and financially has been greater this year than in any of his previous tours, not excepting his phenominal season of 1892, his second in this country, when he gave 67 concerts in 25 cities to receipts which exceeded $1S0,000. This is all the more remark able because curiosity about this aston ishing man has been satisfied and now 1t is his music alone which attracts the public. s-f,,aa
 Seats for this concert will be placed on sale at Steinerts in Chapel street on next Wednesday morning at o'clock. Owing to the extraordinary ex- pense entailed by bringing Paderewski to New Haven it has been found nec- essary slightly to raise the prices Un- der the scheme settled on the. prices for tn emain floor and terrace will be $2, $1.50 and $1. The balcony will have the same scale, while the entire gallery will be reserved at $1. As there will be undoubtedly a great rush for seats many will doubtless find it convenient to take advantage of the mail order system which Charles A. Ellis, man. ager of the Boston Symphony orches- tra and director of Mir. Paderewslxi' s tour has devised and used with success at all the pianist's recitals. Mail orders accompanied by checks or money orders made payable to c. A. Ellis, manager, and accompanied by a stamp and ad- dressed envelope will be filled in the order in which they are received.
 The programme of the concert will be announced in a few days.
