e GLOWING the plan of the. last

OLLOW lNU inc plan OF Inc. laSt
three years, the committee Of
management of the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra has secured some
of the famous artists Of the day as So
loists at the Symphony concerts for the
coming season. ~
With the increase in the membership
of the orchestra, enabling Mr.. Oberhof-
fer to present works never given before
in Minneapolis, it has been decided
that the artists shall be only those who
will add luster to the most brilliant
season the orchestra has had.
At the first concert, Nov. 9, Nine.
Anna Hellstrom, prima donna soprano
Of the Royal opera Of Stockholm, will
be the soloist. The Minneapolis public
is already aware of Nine. Hellstrom s.
standing as an artist, but her two for
mer appearances will hardly prepare
them for the wonderful advance she has
made both vocally and artistically.
The Swedish people regard this sing
er with well-deserved pride, believing
that some day she will be considered
the successor of two other world famous
Swedish singers, Jenny Lind and Chris
tine Nilsson.
Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, the plan
list, who will be heard at the second
concert, Nov. %, needs no introduction
here, for she takes rank as Minneapo-
lis favorite pianist. Ever since the
Symphony orchestra has been organized
Nine. zeisler has been eager to play
with it. for, as she expressed 1t, IT am
friends shall hear me at my best, and
they cannot until they hear me with an
orchestra. " Nine. Zeisler has entirely
recovered from her nervous breakdown
of last winter.
81 Minneapolis will have, Dec. IA, the
opportunity of hearing for the first
time in concert the great German tenor,
Alois Burgstaller. The memory Of Mr..
Burgstaller's portrayal of "Parsifal'
with the Conried Opera company two
years ago in the Auditorium, has made
all music-lovers eager to hear him in
numbers from some of the other Wag-
merriam operas, in which he has won in
ternational fame
The coming of Emilio de Gogorza, the
barytone, Jan. 4, will be received with
genuine pleasure by all those who re-
member this virile artist with the beau
tiful, rich voice and dramatic spirit.
An artist known only by reputation
in Minneapolis is the violinist, Arthur
Hartmann, who has become a fascinat-
ing figure. in the violin world. Bel
gian by birth, Mr.. Hartmann spent his
early years in America, and when 8
years old was giving concerts in Bos-
f ton and other cities and was called the
little violin prodigy. When still in his
teens he went to Europe and after two
years of study with .Ysaye he made his
debut, at once creating sensation. Mr..
the last three years in Europe, Mr..
Hartmann has been one of the musical
magnets. He will be heard with the
orchestra Feb. %.
p. The soloists for the last concert, when
Beethoven great ninth or HChoral''
Symphony will be given, has not yet
j been definitely decided upon, but they
will take rank with the artists engaged
for the previous concerts. All the Sym
Phony concerts come on Friday even.
ings: The three choral concerts Of the
Philharmonic club combined with the
six Symphony concerts, constitute a
musical course that promises to equal
any given in America this season.
