ZEDELER QUINTET
AT EAGLES CLUB
Fraternal Order of Eagles
Presents Second Lyceum
Program Monday.
PROGRAM OF CLASSICS

The Fraternal Order of Eagles pre-
sented The Zedeler Symphonic Quintet
as the second number in their 1921
Lyceum course Monday evening. The
Zedeler Symphonic quintet is a COM
pany of brilliant artists with a musical
ideal which strives to interpret the
matters for the pleasure of the mass
es. While all members of the original
quintet, as listed, did not appear in
Kenosha, their substitutes played we'll
and to the satisfaction of the large
audience.
The belief of Nicolai Zedeler, the
cellist-leader of the group, that the
average person enjoys the music OF the
masters, correctly interpreted, was
justified in the response of Monday
nights audience. He has popularlzed
the classics, not by departure from
the wishes of the great composers, but
by rightly interpreting their visions,
moods and ideals. The program was
of particular interest because of Mr..
Zedeler's supplementary word pictures
preceding each number.

Edward Cigars "Pomp and Circum-
stance" opened the program. The mill
tary tradition of Great Britain, pomp-
Gus or swinging, were interpreted with
fine feeling for the composers mood.
A noteworthy departure has been made
in the use of speciallyw constructed
reed organ, which permits symphonic
effects much above the average of a
small company by combining string,
wind, piano and organ.
Weber's Overture to Oberon," was
the second number by the quintet. The
number opened with the cello, imme-
diately gave the setting Of fairyland
as night enveloped the world and per-
mitted the revelry of elves and sprites.
Oberon and his queen dispute the rel
alive constancy Of man and woman
and he declares that he will never be
reconciled to her until two lovers
have been found who can be constant
through trial and tribulation. A cou-
pie is found and lead through various
testing paths only to emerge tried
and true. Graceful, colorful playing
brought the distant call Of fairyland's
tintinabulating melodies.
The third and fourth numbers were
the ever popular "Annie Laurie" and
"Juanita," by cello and two violins.
Soloists Are Well Received.
Miss Day, vocal soloist, made de-
cidedly pleasing impression. She sang
Sullivan's pirates of Penzance," and
the popular "Smilin' Through" She
proved SO popular that she was recall
ed for two encores, delightfully."- given.
Mr.. Clark, violinst, was the second
soloist. He played DeBeriot's "Scene de
Ballet" with true feeling for the
masters wishes. AS an encore he gave
the popular number Chine Eyes Have
Told Me So" and another popular selec-
ton.
The entire ensemble appeared again
for the "Anvil Chorus" from Ill Trava-
tore, and Dvorak's appealing "Humor-
esque." Mr.. Zedeler, noted as cello
soloist, gave Peppers "Tarentelle, y
with all the gorgeous, weird coloring
which marks this particular number.
He too, was called for an encore of a
popular air.
The program was concluded with the
american Patrol" medley of popu-
lar melodies which gives wider appre-
citation to the semi-classic music of
America.
The third offering on the lyceum. pro-
gram will be the Orpheus Four, March
II.
