next CONCERT PROGRAM
ONE OF RUSSIAN music

For the fifth and final concert of
the Philadelphia Orchestra on Monday
evening, March 8, at The Playhouse,
Leopold StokOwski has arranged a
program Of marked individuality and
brialliance consisting entirely OF the
works of the Russian school
While Mr.. Stokowski's versatility in
interpreting all schools of music has
called forth the highest praise, still it
was as an exponent OF the Russian
school that he first won fame, and in
cidentally. brought him his first per-
manent post as a conductor Of a SYM
phony orchestra. II was i'm the spring
of 1908, in Paris, that his conducting
of Russian program attracted the at
traction Of some wealthy Americans
who were on the lookout for a conduc-
tor for their symphony orchestra, and
carried away by the inspiring per-
Torrance, Mr.. Stokowski, then q young
man twenty-six years OF age was i'm
mediately engaged to come to America
the following autumn and build up a
symphony orchestra. It has been said
that one never forgets Russian pro-
gram directed by Mr.. Stokowski. and
an incident in connection with the
fhlladelpnla Orchestra's recent effort
TO raise an endowment fund served 20
intensity this belief A prominent
Philadelphia, who had never evinced
any active interest in tho orchestra,
but who was known to be a lover OF
music, sent word to the management
Of the orchestra that he would donate
a substantial sum to the endowment
fund if this season Mr.. Stokowsh
would play a concert made up entirely
of Russian music, and he then went on
TO relate that several years before he
had heard such a concert under his
direction, and the memory was so
vivid and the pleasure he had re-
ceived so keen, that he wanted to re-
new the exquisite thrills Of enjoyment
he had experienced years before. The
program which will be played in Viii
mington is the same as that which will
be given in Philadelphia in response
to this request.
