 Among the musical events which have been heralded for the preseut season, none promises more in tho way of interest and pleasure than thil unique little orchestra, of wind ir8t1-1- mente which has for the last five sel- sons given such successful concerto in New York, and which is called in hol- OF of it's conductor and founder the Barrere Ensemble It comes SO hlgh- ly endorsed by the press of the 1ead- ing music centers of the country that 1t is a foregone conclusion that a. rro8t interesting concert will be forthcoua- ing.
 The program which Ehis little or chestra of the reed and pipe win play is one which, for diversity and charm. cannot fail to arouse astonishnsns and delight, at the wlds scope, style. and general ppe@4bnitieg of theaa, ac little understood tnstrumentss for c.4r~ side Of the LnusicaTIy elect, or thoee who have directly nade a study ct them, the wind instruments are but little understood, being generally re- garded as orchestral ones only Eyen to the musicaIly sophistocatee, tre possibilities Of these rnstrunents are often entirely unsuspecfed, and it s in this very enlightenment that tnc best work of the -Barrers Eneern1le has been acconnpliShed, giving to rnr- sic students generally not only an iTa~ sight into the nature Of the@e anatT1- ments, but opening up as well % knowledge of the superb and v0lun1i- nous literature which exiEts for it Much of this Literature 5s old and goes back to the time Of the early classic writers when such little or chestras of the pastora1 fnstruralIlte abounded to the time when ciazn5er music, whether for sstrznBs or the wind Instrument, was the order of the day. and received the endorsement of tne then existing musicaf world Bach and Spohr wrote extensively for tre wind choirs. and 1efl many Wori-e which rank among the rarest gems cl Haydn, Handel Mozart, Beethoyens classic musical literature.

 The great difficulty which has e1- isted in securing players Of euGicient vfrtuosity to play this intricate and extremely closely scored nusics or t0 assemble such players for the con tinued practice required has made the perfornaance Of wor9se for wind in- struments very rare, and the WritlnE of them a labor of love. TEhicha has doubtless done much to keep Ameri- can composers out of the field Sith each year of aeeexigtence of the Bar rere Ensemble they are. however, be~ coming more and more alive to tho opportunities presented and annually a large number of mauuscripts are submitted, which MT. Barrere makes 1t a point Of going over very care fully, so that each worthy compost ton may be sure of a hearing In this way, each season sees the New featuring some American comDosi- tions.
 From MT. George Barrere, who stands absolutely paramount and un~ asaiIaaole as the greatest living vir~ tuoso of the flute. down to the last man in the organization, every mem Der of the Barrere Ensemble is an ac- knowIedged artist on his Darticuiar instrument. and the purity of tone. delicacy of shading, and precision c1 execution, where each instrument i1 compelled to be as agile as the other and the general air of elegance and distinction which characterize ita concerts have placed ehe Barrer@ Ln- scnble among the acknowIedged vir- tuoso bodies of this country and made it one of its leading musical educa- tors.
