Paderewski, who is planning to re-
turn to America for brief tour In MID
season, will arrive in January and
make about thirty appearances, half
of which will be with orchestra. He
will play at seven or eight concerts
with the Boston Symphony orchestra,
the only orchestra with which he will
play in the east, and will play also
with the Chicago, Minneapolis and st.
Paul orchestras. and probably with
others. He will give not more than
one recital in each of the cities he
visits, and his tour will be confined to
the larger cities east of the Mississippi.
There seems to be no doubt that he
will bring with him his symphony, OF
which so much is expected. 1t was
promised for two years ago but was not
finished. Now the last work has been
done on it, and according to an agree
ment of long standing 1t will have its
first production In Boston, and by the
Boston Symphony orchestra. Mr.. Pa
derewski will be under the manage
ment of C. A. Ellis of Boston.

Nine. Samaroff. the brilliant pianist
whose success has been one of the
most interesting features of the past
three musical seasons, has been spend
ing the summer quietly at her summer
home in the Bavarian Alps, where she
has been leading the simple life in the
full sense of the word, even to the
point of adopting the costume of the
peasants. Nine. Samaroff, as is gen
orally known, will not play in America
this year, but the demand for her for
the season of 1909-1910 Is very great.
Nine. Samaroff is already reaping the
fruits of her brilliant success in Lon
don last spring, when she played the
Tschaikowsky concerto with the Lon
isch, and a few days later played the
List E fiat concerto with the same
orchestra at one of its Sunday con-
certs. Her season in Europe will begin
next month, when she makes her debut
in Paris with the Colonne orchestra.
She is to play at the Gewandhaus in
Leipsic under Nikisch and with all the
principal orchestras of the continent.
She plans also to give in the spring a
series of concerts in Spain. AS she is
one of the very few pianists, whose
career began in America, her success in
Europe is all the more noteworthy.
The Boston Symphony orchestra will
begin it's twenty-eighth season in Bos-
ton with a public rehearsal October 8
and concert october 10. It will give
as usual twenty-four public rehearsals
and twenty-four concerts in its home
city, the season closing the evening of
May /, 1909. Ten concerts will be given
in New York, eight in Cambridge, five
in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington and three In Provi-
dence and Hartford. Altogether to-
tai of 10 concerts will be given, ten
more than last year. Six concerts are
booked for the last week of January in
the middle west, the cities to be visited
being Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, In
dianapolis, Columbus and Rochester.
Max Fielder of Hamburg, who will be
conductor of theSorchestra for the pres
ent season, will arrive in this country
the end of September. Willy Hess will
return to his old post of concert mas
ter, and there will be a new second con-
cert master in place of Czerwonky,
who has given up orchestral for quar-
tet and solo work. Otherwise there
will be practically no changes in the
personnel of the organization.
Mr.. Fiedler's coming is being antici-
pated with pleasure. Those who are
