1Boston
3THE announcement is made that on September 29-30 and October 2-3 the auction sale of seats for the Friday afternoon rehearsals and the Saturday night concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will take place and all indications point to an increased price for these seats. The premiums have been increasing year after year. A large number of our local musicians have returned from the country and everything presages a lively and successful musical season.
5Quite a number of musicians from foreign parts have arrived here and intend to make Boston their headquarters.
7WALKDEN A PUPIL OF BRODSKY
9A most accomplished and remarkable violinist, Mr. Vincent Walkden, a native of Massachusetts, has lately arrived from Manchester, England, where he has been studying under Aldolph Brodsky, after having won the first prize, a gold medal, at the London Academy of Music. Mr. Walkden gave a private recital to a dozen musical friends and astonished and pleased them by his large pure tone and wonderful technique. He is a wonderfully equipped violinist and the unanimous opinion was that he will be able without much effort to hold his own with any of the younger virtuosos who are before the public today. This may seem extreme praise, but I assure my readers that if they ever hear Mr. Walkden play they will say that it is deserved.
11A DELUGE OF VIOLINISTS
13Announcements are made that all the violinists who visited us last season will repeat their concerts this year, and so we will have the pleasure of listening again to Kreisler, Ysaye and the others. Last season Ysaye was handicapped by the poor accompaniment of the Boston Opera House Orchestra, and I doubt very much whether he will risk it again this season. It seems to me that the majority of people prefer hearing a violinist with piano accompaniment. It gives the instrument a better chance and its tonal qualities can be better judged than when accompanied by an orchestra which often overpowers the violin.
15FLONZALEYS TO COME TO JORDAN HALL
17The Flonzaley Quartette have announced a series of three concerts, to be given at Jordan Hall on Thursday evenings, December 4, January 29 and March 12.
19BARLEBEN TO TRAVEL WITH SCOTNEY
21Mr. Carl Barleben, late first violin of the Symphony Orchestra, will travel next season with the Evaline Scotney Concert Company. Mr. Barleben is well known as one of our best violinists and bears a reputation in Europe as a virtuoso of the first rank.
23SECURES ANTHONY MAYER
25The Musicians Supply Company has secured the services of Mr. Anthony Mayer of Schonbash Poohemid as head repairer of their violin department. Mr. Mayer is the youngest of a long line of violin makers who have made violins in Schonbash for the last one hundred and fifty years.
27The list of soloists engaged for the coming season with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston and in other cities is one of the most select that has been appointed in years, and in this is in especial accordance with the ideals of the management and of the present leader of the orchestra, Dr. Carl Muck. Nine artists have been appointed for Boston up to the present time. They are Geraldine Farrar, Elizabeth Boehm van Endert and Louise Homer, for singers; Carl Flesch and Fritz Kreisler, violinists; Ignace Paderewski, Josef Hofmann, Teresa Carreño and Harold Bauer, pianists.
