most of the modern Russian school
of musicians, which occurred May 49,
marks the passing of one of the great
geniuses of the century. Noted not
only for his musicianship, this man
was mathematician whose books
were used in many schools and a bot
anist of great ability. He gathered
about him General Caesar Cui,
Rimsky-KorsalSoff, Moussorgsky and
Borodlne, and together they established
the rules which should govern the
music school of Russia. Many of these
men are we'll known in America
through their musical compositions,
and almost all of them attained note
in other directions as well as that of
music.
Tilly Koenen, the Dutch contralto
who made her first American tour last
season singing with notable success
in the principal cities of the United
States and Canada, is to return to this
country next year. She will arrive in
New York about January Is. Her tour
will extend across the continent and
will be limited to thirty appearances,
most of which have been already
booked. She has recently been adding
to her fame : the role of chief sololst
at the Strauss festival in Munich.
Ignace Harold, who has so many
friends in Los Angeles, is to be heard
in the large cities of the country next
year. His concert tour is now being
booked by Fitzpatrick and Norwood
who announce him as the poet of the
violin" The many Los Angeles mu-
sicians who have listened to his beau
tlful interpretations will willingly grant
the propriety of this sobriquet.

The Pasmore trio, which Is remem-
bered for its delightful program given
last winter at the Friday Morning club,
is another western feature Which Fitz-
patrick and Norwood will manage next
year. The three American girls, sis
ters, who comprise this trio have been
playing together constantly for the
past ten years and their work has a
finish and harmony seldom found in
organizations of more recent date.
