piano department Of the Conservatory
Of Music, was taught the traditional
treatment of Dvorak's works by his
teacher, Prochazha, who was a pupil
of Dvorak when the latter was director

general public interested in music.

nounced in succeeding months and will
continue throughout the regular season
and through the Summer terms at the
conservatory.
All music lovers are cordially invited
to attend these concerts, even though
they may not be performers themselves.
The purpose of the series is to incul-
cate love for the great composers

tation of their works than is possible
in a general recital of various compos-
ers combined and where often the work
given Is popular because of ease Of per-
formance only.
