 The principal event of the coming week. and the great musical event or he season will be the concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Jack sons Theatre next Monday evening. Dec 18th It is almost three years since this famous organization visit ed Bridgeport and the interest u re- fore, in the concert is unusually keen A prospects are now that the house will be practically sold out
 Four years ago when the Orchestra first came here it had as its conduc- when it gave a concert here its con ductor was Dr. Karl Muck and now 1t brings Max Fiedler, who is in his sec ond year as holder of this important post During his stay in this country MT. Fiedler has not only made rep utatIon as a great conductor but he has shown himself what is even more rare a most skilled compiler or pro- grammes- His programmes always will stand as models for others to follow. and in this respect he has not failed for Bridgeport for he has ar ranged a more than usually attractive programme for this concert
 The soloist in the first place VIII be Madame Corinne Rider-Kelsey who stands at the head of our concert-so- pranos Madame Rider-Kelsey is not unknown here for she has already sung in Bridgeport with much success and her return will be warmly welcomed. The programme that MT. Ffedler has arranged begins with the stunning prelude to '~The Mastersingers of Nu- remberg" by Wagner. Here in a short space of a few minutes tn, $ great master prophecies in a way the whole content of the greatest -musi- cal comedy that was ever written In the music is heard the pompous inn portarce of the MaSterSlngerS, the beautiful love passages between Wal ter and Eva, the bickerings and quar- relings of Beckmesser winding up with the triumph of the new art which the young F'ranconian knight brought tc Nuremberg
 Next follows Tschaikowsky's "Pa- thetic" symphony. swan Song" oi the most tragic figure in modern mus ic. The "Patbetic" today is unques- tionably the gfeatest of modern sym phonies and by the same token 1t is the most popular Highly emotional with wonderful melodies in it. it ap- peals to all classes of music lovers
 Grieg's Peer Gynt" suite is famili- ar to all for 1t is one of the most hackneyed of modern works and MT Fiedler is to bethanked for restoring it to its proper place. for this won derful picturesque music is among the most beautiful in modern htere tur' and deserves to have such perform ances as the Boston Symphony gives The other orchestral number will b' the great "Leonora" overture No. by Beethoven
 Madame Rider-Kelsey will sing two numbers, the aria of Agatha from ''De Frieschutz'' and the beautiful ari; Dove Sono'' from Mozart's he Mar riage of Figaro"
