8The past London musical season held many triumphs for Thomas Beecham. Before the end of January he introduced to the London public his new orchestra, which by its first appearance at once took a place in the front rank of orchestral organizations. The impression thus created was added to by each succeeding concert of the series that Mr. Beecham and his orchestra have since given, a series in which many new and interesting works were presented, and many artists of worldwide reputation appeared. This series of concerts culminated on June 7, when Frederick Delius' "Mass of Life" was presented, and so masterly and impressive was Mr. Beecham's reading that R. E. Johnston, a New York impresario, who was present, at once arranged for the appearance in America of the Beecham Orchestra, their first concert to take place at New York on Easter Monday. The tour will be for at least fifty concerts, the programs including all the novelties, as well as the well known numbers, of their repertory. On this tour Mr. Beecham will take with him, as instrumental soloists, Kathleen Parlow, the young Canadian violinist, whose successes in England and on the Continent have so often been spoken of during the past year. The vocalist is to be Thomas Quinlan, a well known London impresario, who is also Mr. Beecham's sole agent and manager. Before entering the profession of manager, Mr. Quinlan was a baritone, who had toured many parts of the world and who had sung frequently in London; he recently developed a robust tenor voice of fine quality and thus, in addition to personally managing the tour, will make his bow to the American public as "the new Irish tenor." As this is the first time that any English orchestra has been engaged to go to America, the engagement is a particularly flattering one for Mr. Beecham. That he has won confidence on all sides is evidenced by the fact that he has been invited by the London Philharmonic Society, in recognition of the ability he has displayed, to conduct their concert at Queen's Hall on March 9 next, and he was also selected to conduct the recent production of "The Wreckers" at His Majesty's Theater, a compliment that was very gratifying when the King commanded a special performance early in July. It is perhaps safe to say that no one in the musical world of England has won so many honors as have fallen to Mr. Beecham during the past winter, and his forthcoming tour in the Provinces is being anticipated as one of the important events in the musical life of this country.

142Letters received from Australia convey the news that Melba before making her reappearance at Covent Garden next season, will spend a month at Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo. At the close of the London opera season, she will in August enter on a four months' concert tour of America, Canada and Mexico, opening at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The minimum guarantee for this tour is said to be $200,000. In December of next year she expects to rest in California where her concert tour will end, and during the following month she will again appear in opera in New York. With an orchestra directed by Landon Ronald, she is to be starred through the English Provinces in March and April, 1911. Agnes Murphy, the Irish-Australian writer who is well known throughout the United States and Canada, especially in the principal cities, is the author of the "Life of Melba," which will be published in London and New York during October. This biography will be profusely illustrated and will contain autograph pages in facsimile from the pens of Gounod, Verdi, Massenet, Saint-Saëns, Joachim, Ambroise Thomas, Delibes, and other great masters.
