DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC PLANS CONCERTS FOR NEXT YEAR
August, 1922

Mischa Elman, Riccardo Martin, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra are the three main attractions of the program announced by the Department of Music for next year. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to appear in Webster Hall on November 5, and will be followed on January 12 by a song recital by Martin, Chicago operatic tenor, and by Elman, world-famed violinist, on March 13.

With the coming of the Boston Symphony Orchestra to Hanover, a distinct innovation -will be introduced into Dartmouth musical circles, since Pierre Monteaux, the director of the orchestra, is planning to bring up the full quota of 100 men. Although this will necessitate several changes in the stage of Webster Hall, it will still be possible to bring before a Hanover audience this famous organization entire. This concert is expected to be one of the biggest drawing cards on the entire program.

Riccardo Martin, the first soloist to appear on the 1923 program, has previously been a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company and appeared at Covent Garden, London, and is now engaged with the Chicago Opera Company. With the coming of Elman to Hanover Dartmouth audiences will have had the opportunity in three successive years to hear the three most prominent violinists of today, since the appearance of Jascha Heifetz early this last spring, and of Fritz Kreislef in 1921 complete the famous trio.
