1MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
3MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.—The tenth subscription concert by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra was in many respects one of the finest achievements of this splendid organization. Conductor Henri Verbruggen arranged an ideal Beethoven program, the mainstay of which was the Eroica Symphony. It had a memorable performance and was introduced gracefully by one of Beethoven's lesser known works, the overture to the ballet Prometheus. The second part of the program was given over to Carl Flesch who played the Beethoven violin concerto in a never to be forgotten manner.
5The fifteenth "Pop" concert was the last before the orchestra left for an extended mid-winter tour. It opened with Mendelssohn's overture, Ruy Blas, and was followed by selections from Saint-Saëns' Samson and Delilah. The program closed with Ippolitoff-Ivanoff's Four Caucasian Sketches. Two popular local pianists, Mr. and Mrs. James Bliss, played the Mozart concerto for two pianos and scored heavily with the delighted audience.
7Jacques Thibaud was the stellar attraction presented by Mrs. Carlyle Scott in the University of Minnesota concert course. The French violinist thrilled his audience and scored a genuine triumph. He opened his program with Fauré's A major sonata for piano and violin in the fine interpretation of which Mr. Thibaud's accompanist, Jules Godard, took a large share. Mr. Thibaud's other numbers were also flawlessly played. Many times the artist was recalled after each number.
9Mme. Bailey-Apfelbeck, commemorating the series of concerts given by her in Vienna during the year 1906, has undertaken the task of presenting in five recitals fifteen standard piano concertos. The first of these recitals took place at the Unitarian Church, where, before a large and enthusiastic audience, she played the Mendelssohn G minor and the Beethoven C minor concertos, as well as the Hungarian Fantasie by Liszt. The orchestral accompaniments were ably supplied on a second piano by Mrs. Frankman Murphy, Helen Grotte and Elsie Wolf.
11William C. Keller, violinist, and Henry J. Williams, harpist, both members of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, united forces at the First Baptist Church in a concert as unusual as it was enjoyable. The two artists were received enthusiastically and had to respond to several encores.

15Hagar in Vogue as Bach Singer
17Emily Stokes Hagar, now in vogue as a Bach singer, and rightfully so, received her inspiration not so many years ago when an extremely young soloist. At that time Miss Hagar met Dr. Martin Darkoe, a German journalist and a close friend of Hugo Wolf, composer. When Dr. Darkoe heard her sing, he told her immediately he felt her voice was particularly fitted to interpret the works of the great Bach. Through this chance remark she determined to devote her efforts to a careful study of the composer and his works, with the result that Dr. Darkoe later recommended her to Dr. J. Fred Wolle, conductor of the Bach Choir in Bethlehem, with which organization Miss Hagar has appeared as soloist for a number of years. Her first appearance was in company with Lambert Murphy, Merle Arcock and Henri Scott of the Metropolitan Opera Company, in the B Minor Mass. Today Miss Hagar is cited by critics everywhere as a most sympathetic interpreter of Bach's works.
19Grainger Engaged to Invade N. Y. Hippodrome
21Arrangements have just been completed whereby Percy Grainger will headline the New York Hippodrome program during Holy Week, commencing March 29. Negotiations for this appearance began several months ago, Antonia Sawyer, Inc., Grainger's managers, placing his salary at $5,000 weekly. The Hippodrome contract is said to call for the largest figure ever paid an individual artist for a similar appearance, for Grainger has been forced to withdraw several options in Canada where he is concertizing just prior to this appearance.
23Mr. Grainger's program will be given in combination with the Steinway Duo-Art Piano, this having been arranged through the Aeolian Company. His repertory will consist of popular and classic selections.
