Americas "Poet-Conductor' is the
name that has been bestowed upon Emil
Oberhoffer, conductor. of the famous
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra which
is to be heard in a concert tomorrow
evening in the New National Theater,
and true It Is that while his interpre-
tatlons are virile and vivid as occasion
may require, he has that rare quality
of weaving a spell over his audiences
by reason of his power OF bringing out
the inner poetic spirit of the works or
the masteNs of music.
It is this faculty Of infusing the minds
and performances of the splendid body
OF musicians that make up this orches-
ira into what may be called wonder
fully eloquent instrument that has
placed him among the recognized great
conductors of the world, and has won
for the Minneapolis Orchestra its posi-
ton as one OF Americas three greatest
orchestras. This recognition has come
to Mr.. Oberhoffer and his orchestra
wherever they have appeared, and the
public, critics, and musicians, have Wed
with each other in enthusiasm. The
loyalty OF the city of Minneapolis 10
the Orchestra and to Mr.. Oberhoffer Is
reflected in the subscription for term
of years of an annual guarantee OF $6S,
~,
new combined orchestra hall and art
museum, which is to furnish a perma-
nent home for the orchestra.
Considered One of
Best In Country.
To the people of the middle West at
least, the orchestra is one of the finest
bodies of musicians, individually and
collectively, in this country. 1t Is now In
its ninth year, and is giving its home
city forty more concerts of the highest
order during the current season, con-
certs rich in magnificent examples OF
symphonic and standard musical litera-
ture, classic and modern.
Organized nine years ago. under tns
leadership of Emil Oberhoffer, the career
Of this orchestra has been one OF re-
markable advance, In size, personnel,
and ability-an advance unprecedented
even in America, noted for It's rapid
development along all lines.
That the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra has reached an unassailablc
position as one of the three great or
chestras Of America Is Que to the re-
markable genius and ability of its con
ductor, who has been with the body
from it's beginning, and to the loyal and
generous support of the spirited
citizens OF Minneapolis, who have sub
scribcd the large fund necessary tt
finance the organization, and to gather
together artist musicians from the
music centers OF the world.
Nearly every well known orchestra ir
Europe and America has contributed
one or more men to the personnel ol
the Minneapolis symphony, and the
policv of the Orchestral Association has
! been to spare no reasonable expense IN
! bringing the orchestra up to the highest
| possible standard throughout.
