Friday Of next week, when the ia
nous Minneapolis Symphony orchestra
appears here for two concerts. This
orchestra has visited Brookings sev-
eral times in past years and so pop
ular are they with u people that
they will be greeted with greater au-
diences than ever before.
The Minneapolis orchestra is under
the direction of Emil O%berhoffer, one
of the greatest conductors in this
country, and it is ranked as one of
the finest musical organizations in
the United States. 1t is probable that
this will be the orchestra's last visit
to Brookings, as it is understood
their future tours only include the
larger cities farther east.
The eason tickets which admits to
both concerts are $3.50. Single con
on the 9th, are $3.50, 1t is expect
ed that a big crowd of out of town
visitors will be here, so that Brook
ings people who have not reserved
their seats should do SO at once.
The Minneapolis orchestra contains
some of the best known musical tai
ent in this country and all Europe
has been secured to secure the best.
Among the leading members are the
following:
Richard Czerwonky, the concert
master, was brought to America about
four years ago by DR.. Karl Muck,
when he came to Boston as cOnduc-
tor of the Boston symphony orches-
ira, under the permission of the Ger
man emperor. Mr.. Czerwonky was
the Boston orchestra and prominent

leader of the Czerwonky string quar-.
etc.
Carl Scheurer, second concertmas-
ter Of the Minneapolis, was a promi-
.nent member of the Boston Sym
phony orchestra for several years

He, like Mr.. Czerwonky, was a pupil
of Joachim.
FAM Dicks, another prominent
member of the first violin section,
held several important positions in
prominent orchestras in Europe and
is well known as a successful soloist.
Jean Koch, principal in the viola
section, came to Minneapolis Orches-
ira direct from the renowned Dussel-
dorf orchestra, Germany, in which he
held an important position. He is a
valued member of the Minneapolis or
chestra and plays upon an unusually
fine instrument.
Carlo Fischer, first cellist of the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, is
one of the best known and popular
musicians in the west and is in con-
slant demand as a soloist. Mr.. Fisch-
e., has filed engagements under var
ious European conductors and was

following a three year engagement as

ira under Van der Stucken, he was
engaged by the Minneapolis orches-
ira.
Friedrich Won Whitman, principal
bass player, comes from an ancient
German noble family and served as
