Symphony Concert Season
Opens Friday Afternoon

Gadski Is the Soloist and the Orchestra Is in Fine Condition –
Engagement of Miss Louise Caldwell to Mr. Stanley Merrell Announced.

Everything is made subservient today to the Symphony concert. Never before has such enthusiastic interest been expressed in the symphonies, and the opening programme, with its Beethoven symphony and Gadski as soloist makes a most fitting opening of a season which embodies so many hopes. Mr. Van der Stucken declares that never before has he been so satisfied with the preliminary work of his orchestra, and that he raises his baton for Friday afternoon’s concert with a particular satisfaction. Mme. Gadski has arrived in fine condition and will doubtless receive an ovation from her Cincinnati admirers. The hour is 2:30. The programme is as follows:

Symphony No. 3 – Eroica . . . . . . . . Beethoven
Recitative and aria from The Marriage
Of Figaro . . . … . . . . . . . . .. . Mozart
Mme. Gadski
Zorahayda – Legende (Op. 11) . . . . . . Svendsen

Dich Theure Halle, from Tannhauser . . .Wagner
Mme. Gadski
March – Louisiana (Op. 32), by request. . . Frank Van der Stucken
