ton to the ranks of the musical pro-
fession in the city. He comes to the
vocal department of the college of
music, University of Southern Califor-
mia, and will teach exclusively in con-
nection with that institution. He also
will have charge of the music in the
University NJ. e. church. He comes
from a large and successful work in
Oakland and San Francisco, where he
has become well known as one Of the
leading baritones and teachers around
the bay.
Mr.. Cogswell is the possessor of a
baritone voice and has had ten or
twelve years of systematic and careful
study. His earlier training was re-
ceived in this city in the college of
music. Since going north he has had
some seven years Of study with the
best teachers of San Francisco and
vicinity. In New York he had a sea-
son of study with Madam Won Feilitz,
making an intensive study of pure
tone production from a scientific stand
point. With Francis Stuart, pupil
of Lampertis, he studied the old Ital
ian system, and with Luckstone made
a speciality of Interpretation. He has
had twelve years experience as a
teacher in the northern cities and his
pupils are said to occupy prominent
positions in that locality.
Instead of opening the Philhar-
monic series this year with a single
artist, Manager Behymer has secured
the services of Nine. Pasquale and
Signor Scotti jointly, presenting airs
from their favorite operas, both solos
and duets. This will be Nine. Pas
quale's first visit to the Pacific coast,
and that she will be. made welcome
there can be no doubt for several rea-
,af ft.a soI, l.
she is an American girl, her early
musical education being gained in New
York, and secondly, because she was
the successor to the roles made famous
by Nine. Sembrich during her twenty
five years at the Metropolitan. How
well Nine. Pasquale has assumed this
position is now matter of public
knowledge. Signor Scotti will be re-
membered from his triumphs in this
city a number of years ago with the
Metropolitan Opera company and will
be welcomed for this reason alone.
Nine. Johanna Gadski is so we'll
known here that it would be futile to
proclaim her many charms, as they
are already familiar to the concert
going public of Los Angeles. This
year she brings even finer programs
than ever-if this be possible-and
after her long summer sojourn at home
to assume her place in the hearts of
the music lovers.
The third event on the course will be
the coming of Nine. Liza lehman, the
English composer, conducting her own
compositions through the medium Of
a picked quartet of voices. There prob
ably is no more popular writer of mu-
sic than Nine. Lehman. Especially
we'll known is she through her beauti-
fY,I 10
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, called
"In a Persian Garden" Her early
education was planned with the idea
of public singing in mind, for she pos
sessed a very beautiful voice, and this
thorough foundation was the source of
much pleasure and financial profit to
herself in later years when she retired
fom public life to devote her entire
time to composition.
1t has been a number of years since
Jaroslav Kocian, the Bohemian violin
list, was heard in this city. In the
interim he has been court violinist for
his country, and in time allowed him
away from this exacting post he has
played through the principal cities of
Europe, gaining new laurels at each
appearance. His return will be vel
coined, for he more than established
himself In the hearts of the American
public on his first visit, and this time
he returns with a more mature art.
He will be the only violinist on the
course.
To Josef Hoffman has been left the
piano program of the series. Already
a favorite here, his return this year
after two years absence will be ap-
preciated by the teacher, student and
alike. His programs are
all new and contain several novelties.
The final artist will be Alessandro
Bonci, tenor. Bonci is best known to
America from his operatic triumph
with the Manhattan and later the
opera houses. At 20 he
was a student at the Rossini Con-
of Music in Pesaro, and |
made such rapid progress that three
years later he was appointed to the |
Church of Santa Maria in Loreto, one
Of the most prominent churches in
italy, where the musical standards are |
high. His operate debut |
was made several years later in Ver-
lis "Falstaff'' at the Royal theater
IN Parma. That night was the begin
ming of a brilliant series of successes,
La Scala, and the goal of all
European singers ambitions, the
