Flagstad Recital Here
Provided Under New
Plans Due to War

Contrary to all previous announce
ments, Kirstin Flagstad, celebrated
Norwegian soprano Of the Metropol-
tan Opera Association, will appear
here in recital next season, accord
ing to an announcement by Dorothy
Hodgkin Dorsey, who has sponsored
all but one Of Nine. Flagstad's ap-
pearances at Constitution Hall. As
usual, Nine. Flagstad will appear
here in an evening recital, as one
of the attractions Of 1904 con-
cert series that has not yet been
announced. It may be stated, how
ever, that Kreisler. Rachmaninon
and Tibbett also will be included
in the same series.
Final decision of the famous Wag-
merriam soprano to remain In the
United States for at least one more
season did not come until q few
days ago, when her husband, q Nor
wegian lumber tycoon, cabled the
singer to remain in the United
States until such time as the North
Atlantic becomes safe for travel.
It Is announced that Nine. Flag
stad will make limited concert
and recital tour Of American cities
next season and win give q number
of guest performances at the Met
ropolitan, though her operate per-
formances In 1901 viii be much
less frequent than for the past sew
eral seasons. Her Washington re-
cital has already been flxed for
Tuesday evening, November 26.

"schwanda" excerpts.
It is perfectly fitting that the
Washington Choral Society should
appear with the National Sym

Until this afternoon. however, the
two organizations had given no

have felt this lack, for the requests

Talent Revealed.
Through the continued effort Of
the union to present the music OF
Latin America, now in the hands
OF the present counselor, DR.. Man
gar. the extraordinary richness of
talent OF these countries is being
revealed. The ancient civilizations
OF those lands Is mirrored in their
music that is part Of the very life
OF the people. Modern trends have
touched not at all the marvellous
folk lore that is still preserved in
the age-old festivals and ceremo-
MES. The charm, the variety and
the rich sentiment that permeate
this music disclosed the tremendous
musical wealth that lies in those
countries in which music Is q spon-
taneous means of emotional express
sion.
Through music the people of the
United States are finding a bond
OF understanding and appreciation
with its colorful neighbors that can
not be estimated. Where language
and customs form a barrier, music
can dissolve 1t and this the musi-
clans Of this continent are begin:
ming more and more to realize.
Whatever will be accomplished to-
ward forwarding the aim for which
the Pan-American Union was es-
tablished, namely, ''to promote
peace. commerce and friendship be-
tween the republics of the American
Continent by fostering economic,
judicial, social and cultural rela-
tons" will have been aided by the
music which we of this country have
grown to love and appreciate.
