MUSIC FESTIVAL.
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL EVENT
BANGOR AND PORTLAND.
GERALDINE FARRAR THE STAR
OTHER FAMOUS sINGERs-FIvE
BRILLIANT PROGRAMS.

On the last three days OF next week
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. z,
and 9-the concerts of the thirteenth an
nual music festival will be given in Ban
| gor by the Eastern Maine music festival,
and will be repeated in Portland on the
following Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, Oct. IL, IL and 10.
in spite OF the fact that during the last
dozen years Director-in-Chief W. r.
Chapman has brought to Maine some OF
| the greatest OF living singers, those whom
he has secured for this year are no less
this section of The country.
| The peerless Geraldine Farrsr will be
! the bright particular star of the Saturday
evening concert, while Nine. Joineili, who
so delighted her hearers last year, will be
| the soprano soloist OF the concert on
Thursday evening. The star OF Friday
| evening is to be Nine. Frieda Langendorff,
pleasing as those of the renowned Schu-
mann Heink.
The other soloists, both men and
women, are all new to Maine, but
come with splendid records, and with
MIR. Chapman's guarantee that they
deserve all the good things which have
been said OF them.
THIS year the transportation companies
have surpassed their generosity OF pre-
vious years by providing, in addition to
extremely low rates, return trains in all
directions after the concert on Saturday
evening.
The thing to do is to buy season tickets;
they can be obtained for IS and %, are
transferable, and hence can enable
maximum OF people to hear the concerts
at minimum OF cost apiece.
The orchestra will be substantially the
same as in recent years-the pick OF the
players OF the great New York opera
house orchestras. The programs are with
out question the best which have ever
been arranged for Maine music festival
varied, interesting, brilliant. They are
printed below, and no one at all familiar
with music can deny that they ara gems;
no such feasts of music were ever before
offered in Maine.
After all the good and great things Dr.
rector Chapman has given Maine during
the past dozen years, every body wondered
what new combination of artists and OF
music he could present for the 1903 festi-
val; now everybody knows. Here are the
programs:
