NOTED ARTISTS TO TAKE PART
More Than Hundred Leading Must
clans of the City Will Take Part in
The Choral Work-Plan Thanksgiving
Festival.


nounce their annual concert for Thanks
giving evening. The management of
the society feeling much encouraged by
the attendance and appreciation shown
of last year have arranged program
which promises to be even more pleas
ing than the one of last year.
1t will be part song program. The
first half devoted to. secular music and
the second half sacred in character and
more in keeping with the spirit of
Thanksgiving festival. Selections from
Gounod, Greig, Gaul, Wagner, Farming
and Walters-The last mentioned is
Festival Chorus written by the Conduc-
tor Of the Choral Society, Father Wal
tiers, and will be sung by the entire
chorus and assisting artists. Father
Walters has been untiring in his efforts
to bring the work Oh the chorus to
high standard of excellence. The mem
bers are numbered from the best and
most finished singers of Kenosha and
their interest and enthusiasm and faith
full practice have enabled them to get
the best effects in choral singing.
The membership numbers over one
hundred active and about two hundred
associate members. The associate mem
Der for the sum of two dollars is en-
titled to a reserved seat at both of the
season s concerts and is allowed to at
tend rehearsals at any time. All music
lovers are urged to take one of these
memberships and can be had from any
member Of the society.
The second concert will be given soo1
safter Easter.
Goldberg s Coliseum has been secul-
ed again this year, as it is felt that by
having hall of great seating capacity
the admission fee car be at popular
prices and much lower than is generally
charged for a concert of this kind. This
is also in response to the feeling that
large choral effects require large han
for their realization.
The great success of last years con-
cert has been noted by musicians far
and wide and many Of the best soloists
in the country have signifed desire
to sing at the Thanksgiving concert.
After careful consideration the direc-
tors have named Marion Green, 6asso;
John B. Miller, tenor; Sybil Sarnmis
McDermid, soprano; Rose Gannan, con-
tralto, as the assisting artists: Bach s
Symphony Orchestra of Milwaukee with
Mrs. Burnett G. Kaltenbach at the piano
will furnish the instrumental part of
the program. This orchestra and Mrs.
Kaltenbach assisted last year and their
engagement this year is in response to
popular demand. Marion Green is the
leading bassoN singer of Chicago. He is
said by musical authorities to possess
a voice equal to that of Edward de Res
IKE. John B. Miller has sung in concert
all over the United States; his voice
having a strength and clarity of tone
that has combined to make his singing
famous. Among those that have found
recognition abroad, and all over Amer
lea is Sibyl Sammis McDermid. She
has sung in Queens Hall concerts in
London and at important concerts in
Paris. Her success at Madison Square
Garden was most decided. She came
before Chicago public an experienced
singer who had gained distinction be-
fore challenging the verdict of her fell
low townspeople.
Rose Lutiger Gannan is at present
more in demand for concert and ora
torio work than any singer in Chicago.
Many Kenosha people heard her at the
Evanston Festival last June. She is
one Of the most satisfactory artists on
the concert platform.
