St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 29.-St. Paul
will be the musical mecca of the
Northwest this season.
For Mary Garden will be heard in
opera in the Twin Cities, Fremstad
sings in opera i'll St. Paul, Maggie
Teyte, the English grand opera pri-
ma donna; Ysaye, the great violin
ist, and other artists equally renown-
ed, have been engaged for concerts
to be given in st. Paul.
But the musical tastes of the
Northwest are broad and varied, SO
the managers of concerts in the Capt.
tol city vary their musical attrac-
lions. To the soloists to be presented
in recital will be added a series of
ten symphony concerts by the St.
Paul Symphony Orchestra, and a sea-
son of light opera, during which an
all-star cast will be heard in a revi-
val of Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
Mrs. F. H. Snyder, the Northwests
famous grand opera impressario, who
is this year turning her attention to
recitals as we'll as to opera will open
the musical season October IA, when
she presents Nine. Olive Fremstad,
the Minnesota grand opera prima
donna, in recital. Fremstad will
sing at the Peoples church.
The opera season opens October

mans only rival,' will play at the
Peoples church and on December 2,

and composer, will give a recital.
The first after-the-holiday concert
will be given by Maggie Teyte, whose
appearance with the Chicago Grand

operate sensation of the year. A
program of songs will be given Leon

era House, Dresden. Rains is con-
sidered one of the most remarkable
Lieder Interpreters in Europe.
Of all these stars none will be more
welcome than Nine. Marie Rappold

Opera company, and soloist at the
Saengerfest held last July in St. Paul
Rappold sings February 27.
The final concerts in the People:
church series will be given March ;

This series of seven recitals begin
ming October IA and ending Marcel
3, to be given under the direction o
Mrs. E. H. Snyder, have been ar
ranged to meet musical need tina
neither the St. Paul symphony or
chestra concerts or the grand oper:
satisfies. The orchestra soloists pla,
big concertOs, or sing great arias
the opera companies interpret gran,
operas, but these recitals will presen
programs Of songs-songs pure am
simple when singers appear, or tn
sonatas or minor concertos and etude
of the classic and the modern com
posers when the pianists give tn
programs.
