FAMOUS ARTISTS APPEAR FOR CONCERT PROGRAMS
June 1921

Reinald Werrenrath, Mabel Garrison, and Jascha Heifetz make up the constellation of stars that will shine brilliantly in the Hanover musical firmament next year according to an announcement from the department of music. Werrenrath is scheduled to give one of his famous song recitals December 6, and will be followed by another member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Mabel Garrison, January 20, and by Jascha Heifetz, the violinist, late in March.

Tickets for the recital will be sold next fall on the same plan as during the past season, course tickets at a reduced price, admitting to all concerts, and holders of these tickets being given preference in the selection of reserved seats. It is probable that the price of the course tickets will be $4.00 for the three recitals.

Reinald Werrenrath, the first of the artists on the season's program, is. expected to prove the most popular number of the course. Since his graduation from New York University, Mr. Werrenrath has climbed rapidly into prominence as a concert singer, and is today acknowledged as at once the greatest and most popular of American singers. He is a member of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company. During the past year he was so favorably received in England that he has but recently been recalled to that country for another series of recitals. Mr. Werrenrath's programs have always proved the most popular of those given by any of the present stars, and he has for years been the favorite of college men. John Masefield's salt water ballads, the Kipling songs and old French and English lyrics have made up the programs with which he has won great fame during the last season, and it is certain that his recital in Hanover will be one of the most largely attended of the series. Werrenrath is a member of the Dutch Treat Club of New York, the New York Athletic Club, the Cliff Dwellers of Chicago, and Psi Upsilon.

Mabel Garrison of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company will appear in Hanover, January 20, 1922. Miss Garrison is well known as one of the great sopranos of the operatic stage, and has had a brilliant career which has won her fame not only in America, but on the Continent. Her appearance in Hanover will be the third recital in recent years by famous women, Madame Schumann-Heink having sung in Webster Hall in 1916, and Anna Case in 1917. Miss Garrison's many years of study abroad and her successful seasons with the Metropolitan company have given her a reputation equalling that of any of the great stars of the generation.

The fame of Jascha Heifetz needs no heralding in Hanover. For several years, since he came to prominence as the most brilliant of young violinists, his position has been secure in the front rank of the great artists of the period. His rapid rise to fame and the manner in which he has maintained his commanding position in the musical world has been as remarkable as the magnificent talent which first won him the applause of two continents. Heifetz is beyond any doubt the greatest young master of the time, and his recital in Hanover will be a high point in the musical programs of Hanover.

Course tickets for these three recitals will be sold during the latter part of November.
