THE MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA,

On March 9th the Minneapolis
symphony Orchestra, under its
famous CONDUCTOR Emil Oberhoffer
will open its eastern tour with an
afternoon concert at Orchestra Hall,
Chicago, and during the following
ten days will be heard in Louisville
Cincinnati, Columbus. Cleveland,
Pittsburg. Washington, New York,
Buffalo Fort Wayne and Logans
port.
The history of music in America
hardly affords more remarkable
page than that of the development
in the northwestern metropolis, of
an orchestra which is today unques-
tionably one of the foremost organ
cations in the American symphonic
field.
1t may, and to most people does,
seem surprising that Minneapolis, a
city of not more than 325, 000 people,
should develop such remarkable
orchestra, but Minneapolis is city
Of wealth, culture, and public spirit,
1t is a city of beauty, as we'll, and
its lovely lakes parks and bouIe-
wards, its Minnehaha Falls, and 9TH
er natural and fostered features APP
pealing to the sense of the artistic
and beautiful, have no doubt had
much to do with creating a general
interest in the cultural and artist c
field of life
Minneapolis was fortunate in hav-
ing as its foremost musician, Emil
Oberhofer, and when the Minneapo-
lis symphony Orchestra was formed
nine years ago it found in him a
conductor who only required oppor-
tunity to demonstrate that he nad
every quality requisite to achieve
the highest possible results. To his
genius is due the remarkable and
rapid development of the orchestra
into one of the foremost in the coun-
try-a genius that has been display
ed not alone in the training of the
orchestra, but also in his ability TO
combine the practical with the ideal
in meeting the conditions incident to
the development Of the orchestra,
and in inspiring the faith and en-
thusiasm which brought the neces-
sary financial support in the form
OF. an ample guarantee fund
The tour which the Minneapolis
orchestra is making through the
East will serve to make more gem
orally known the musical advance
ment which has come to the West
during recent years, and to make
the East acquainted with one of the
most interesting personalities among
contemporary American conductors,
Musicians and critics of Chicago and
the West. familiar with the work of
all the conductors OF Europe and
America, do not hesitate to concede
Emil Oberhoffer a foremost place
among living orchestra conductors
Such abilities, and such qualities OF
temperament, musicianship, and per-
sonality, as are possessed by him,
