The Symphony concerts for young
people, which have been one of the most
delightful and unique events Of New
twenty-second year with the opening
concert in Carnegie Hall on November
Is. These concerts, directed and organ
ised by Walter Damrosch in the belief
that In music as In everything else the
child Is father to the man, have already
shown abundant proof of this in the
pr esent generation Of New York concert
goers, large proportion Of whom have
been trained by these concerts in a true
understanding Of symphonic music. The
interest in these concerts has extended
to Europe and while abroad this sum-
mer Mr.. Damrosch received many re-
quests for information from conductors
as to the plan he had followed for his
young peoples concerts and similar con-
certs will be introduced soon by these
conductors in Paris and London.
The coming concerts will take place
on Saturday afternoons in Carnegie Hall
and will, of course, be given by the New
York Symphony Orchestra, with Mr..
Damrosch prefacing the concert with his
practical explanations at the piano. The
concert Of November 15 win have Ossip
Gabrilowitsch as its soloist; on Decem-
Der 10 there will be Christmas con-
cert on January Mischa Levitzki will
be the assisting artist and on January
81 Fritz Kreisler will appear. Adolph
Bohm's Ballet Intime will assist at the
concert Of February 81 and Miss Lucy
Gates will be the soloist at the conclud-
ing concert on March 6.
In addition to these concerts Mr.. Dam
rosch gives four Saturday morning con-
certs for children at Aeolian Hall. These
concerts win be on November 8, Decem-
Der 81, January 10 and February Z. This
will be the third season of this most
interesting innovation Of Mr.. Damrosch
and one which may well come to be as
influential in the musical world as the
young peoples series.

day afternoons In Aeolian Hall. as well
