The Zedeler Symphonic Quintet
brings the lyceum genuinely new
idea, that of presenting symphonic
concerts" with company of only
five musicians-each an artist. To
secure this symphonic effect a speci-
ally constructed Reed organ is car
ried. This gives all the reed and
wind effects of large orchestra and
combined with the piano and stringed
instruments, produces an effect as
stratling as it is unique.
In addition to the instrumental
music, Miss Emma Bruce Beck is
said to possess a brilliant voice of
quality and to be a singer Of
most charming personality.
This is the third number in the
high school lyceum course and bids
fair to be a good one. ~
