Walter Damrosch will introduce an
innovation which has never been at
tempted outside
Special Talk by of New York,
Waiter Danhrosch when he appears
York Symphony Orchestra next Satur-
day afternoon at the Chestnut street
Auditorium. 1t will consist of an eN-
planatory talk, with illustrations at
the piano, of one OF the principal num-
bers of the program before the or
chestra plays it.
Mr.. Damrosch is famous as public
speaker among musical circles, and
gives annually at Carnegie Hall, in
New York, a series of Symphony Con-
certs for young people at which he
prefaces each number with a verbal
explanation for his young listeners.
He does the same thing for adult con-
certgoers in the Music-Lovers Club,
explaining more technically the de-
tails of the compositions his orchestra
is to play at the regular subscription
concerts.
When it was learned that the New
York symphony concert i'll Harfisburg
would be an afternoon affair. and that
consequently many families would
seize the unusual opportunity OF CIV
ing their younger members the educa-
tional advantage of hearing q great
orchestra, several musiclovers of the
city asked Fred c. Hand, director of
the keystone Concert Course. whether
Mr.. Damrosch would consent to give
one of his inimitable explanatory
talks on at least one number of the
program. so as to increase its value
and interest to the young folks un-
| familiar with concert music. Mr.. Hand
wrote the conductor, proposing this,
| and received an affirmative answer.
Not only for the young, but even
| for many of more advanced age. this
| feature of next Saturday afternoon s
symphony concert is expected to prove
a great treat. 1t has never been tried
outside of New York before. but there
, is no doubt that the established sue
cess il has made there will be dupli-
Gated in Harrisburg, for in these talks
Mr.. Damrosch uses all the wit and
entertaining power of which he is &C
| knowledged the master.
