GABFILOWIS
TO CONDUCT
TUESDAY

Ossip Gabrilowitsch, con-
ductor of the Philadelphia Or
chestra, has made several
changes in the program an
nounced previously for the con.
cert to be given at Constitu-
ton Hall on Tuesday after
noon, January 81, at 4:45.
The revised program is as fol-
lows: overture, "oberon"
CWeber; Symphony No. 4, in
e minor (Brahms); Symphonic
Dance in Basque Style, from
the opera, 'The Basque Venus"
CWetzler); Symphonic Poem,
Les PreludeS" OiSzD.
A substitution of numbers by
Weber, Brahms and Liszt, in
place of the compositions by
Schubert and Strauss, which
The Washington times., 1930-01-18

were announced as his first
selections, brings the Philadel-
phia orchestra to Washington
with a program of works which
were received with highest
praise as interpreted recently
in Philadelphia by Ossip Ca,
brilowitsch, the conductor.
The symphony selected by
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch is the Fourth
Symphony in E minor which
was written by Brahms when
he was over so. The work
presumably is colored by the
composers preoccupation at the
time of the writing with the
tragedies of Sophocles, in which
he was sleeping himself.
The symphony was performed
first at Meiningen, October Is,
1885, and the score was pub
liShed the following year.

has been arranged to be open
to the general public in Havana.
For this concert, as a mark of
appreciation for the official in
vitation, the orchestra has en-
gagged Jose Echaniz, brilliant
young pianist, who appeared as
soloist with the orchestra in
Minneapolis and St. Paul re-
Gently, to be the assisting

cal education in New York city
