Two hundred and fifty of Topeka's
best singers will be in the chorus that
will sing Verdrs great tManzoni Re-
ouiem,' with the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra at the Auditorium as
one of the three concerts in the series
of the Spring Musical Festival next
Monday and Tuesday.
The singers have been rehearsing
under the direction of Horace White
house for four months and this train
ing and study has developed chorus
singing that will surprise the people
of Topeka even more than did the
presentation of 1.-THE Messiah" last
December.
There are wonderful possibilities in
Verdi's Requiem Mr.. Whitehouse
heard it sung by the great chorus in
Rome and it was then that he decided
that the people of Topeka should hear
this masterpiece. THE Manzoni Re-
QUEEN" has been said by critics to be
an opera in ecclesiastical costume
found that the composition is all that
has been said of it and that the
dramatic element is strong.
Emil Oberhoffer and his famous
fifty players will take part in each of
the three performances of the Spring
Musical Festival. This Organization
has played here before and Topeka
orchestra to be the best in the coun-
try. Topeka people also know that
Horace Whitehouse, dean of the de-
partment of fine arts of WaShburn
US and conduct. With such talent
there is no doubt but that this must
cal series will be the greatest ever
given in Topeka.
