28Minneapolis Directors Praise Verbrugghen
29The entire personnel of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra entrained at Minneapolis on January 31 for the annual mid-winter tour of this organization. All concerts during the tour will be conducted by Henri Verbrugghen, just reelected conductor of the orchestra for three years more, and the following cities will be visited: February 1, Burlington, Iowa; 2, St. Louis, Mo.; 3, Carbondale, Ill.; 4, Jackson, Miss.; 5, New Orleans, La.; 6, Montgomery, Ala.; 8, Atlanta, Ga.; 9, Birmingham, Ala.; 10, Nashville, Tenn.; 11, Indianapolis, Ind.; 12, Springfield, Ohio; 13, Carlisle, Pa.; 15, York, Pa.; 16, Altoona, Pa.; 17, Pittsburgh, Pa.; 18, Athens, Ohio; 19, Lafayette, Ind. Returning to Minneapolis on February 21, the home season concerts will be resumed. This tour will be made under the personal direction of Arthur J. Gaines, manager of the orchestra.
30In announcing Mr. Verbrugghen's re-election for another term, the directors of the Orchestral Association issued the following statement, signed by Elbert L. Carpenter, president:
31"The directors feel that the orchestra has made tremendous progress under Mr. Verbrugghen's direction during the past three years. The concerts both at home and on tour have been steadily gaining in artistic excellence and popularity, and critics as well as the public have never been so unanimous in praise of both orchestra and conductor as at the present time.
32"During his residence in Minneapolis, Mr. Verbrugghen has exerted a helpful and inspiring influence on all forms of musical endeavor. This has by no means been confined to the sphere of orchestral music. Under his leadership interest in choral and chamber music has taken on a new lease of life. Moreover, he has exhibited a fine spirit of cooperation and fellowship with the professional musicians and organizations of the community. This has manifested itself in the many opportunities he has given young artists to appear as soloists with the orchestra and in the interest he has shown in performing the works of young American composers.
33"The directors feel that Mr. Verbrugghen has won the confidence, the admiration, and the affection of the music loving public, and has proved his worth both as an artist and a citizen. We feel that the future of the orchestra is safe in his hands and we look forward with utmost confidence to a period of even greater achievement during the coming three years."
35Vocal Teachers' Guild Dinner
36The Vocal Teachers' Guild, Inc. (Anna E. Ziegler, president), gave a dinner at the McAlpin Hotel on January 26, to commemorate its first anniversary. The guests of honor were: Mme. Karin Branzell, Dr. Emanuel Baruch, Beniamino Gigli, Arthur Hartmann, William J. Henderson, the Hon. Murray Hulbert, Alfred Human, Henry Holden Huss, Leonard Liebling, Benjamin Prince, Winthrop Tryon, and Huntington Woodman. In all 150 diners were present.
37Most of the guests of honor made speeches after being introduced gracefully by Mme. Ziegler and all the talks were of unusual interest, some of them interspersed with much humor. The keynote of the evening seemed to center in the fact that all the speakers were agreed that the chief mission of vocal teachers is to produce beauty of tone rather than volume. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Huss dwelt particularly on this phase. Dr. Baruch spoke of the many efforts and endeavors of Mme. Ziegler to bring together in harmony the important members of the vocal profession. Mr. Tryon dwelt on the importance of developing original ideas in the pupils themselves. Mr. Prince said some very interesting things about the MacDowell Club and its helpfulness in assisting young musical talent. The Hon. Murray Hulbert stressed the importance of building a Guild Hall and of municipal assistance for young musical talents. Leonard Liebling laid emphasis humorously on the fact that the old-time antagonism among vocal teachers has largely disappeared and gave much credit in that direction to Mme. Ziegler and the Vocal Teachers Guild.
38Mme. Ziegler's speech brought out the fact that the Guild has a comfortable amount of money in its treasury; that it expects to have a home of its own shortly; and that in the meanwhile it has been offered the use of a stage for presenting students and new compositions.
39Some of those present at the tables were: Mme. Julian Edwards, Effa Ellis Perfield, Ora Wheatcroft, Adrienne Remenyi von Ende, Lama Monill, Kathryn Caryhna, Jaunita King, Grace Naylor, Hilda Gun Gelling, Bessie Davenport, Caroline Lowe Hovey, Elsie Leon, Marie van Gelden, Louise Weigester, Henlen Stone Henderson, Elsie Carlton, Carolina Lazzari, Florence Turner-Maley, Anna E.

42Marica Palesti Well Received
43Marica Palesti, Russian dramatic soprano, will be heard at the Town Hall on March 11 at a benefit concert for the Greek School Musicians. Mme. Palesti has been heard in New York several times and with favor. The New York Times of December 4 commented as follows upon one appearance: "She displayed a beautiful voice, round and full, which she used with dramatic power. Her talents had free play in a great variety of songs."
44And none the less successful was the attractive singer in Washington, the latter part of last year, if one gauges the impression she made by the review of the Post of that city: "Seldom have better artists been heard in Washington than Marica Palesti. She has a lovely resonant voice of ample volume, so ample in fact that it quite overflowed the auditorium. Perfectly at home in the most difficult operatic selections, some of her shorter numbers were artistically unusual with their tenderness and winsomeness."
45In addition to her concert and opera work, Mme. Palesti is devoting considerable time to teaching in New York.
