YEARS MUSICAL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED BY DEPARTMENT

A concert by the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York and recitals by Reinald Werrenrath, leading American baritone, and Albert Spalding, foremost American violinist, will feature Dartmouth's musical program for next year according to an announcement made by Prof. Leonard B. McWhood, chairman of the Music Department.

The New York Philharmonic Orchestra will bring 102 talented musicians to Dartmouth Saturday, November 3, to play before the large out-of-town gathering and alumni who will be in Hanover for the Cornell football game and the dedication of the Memorial Field stand. This metropolitan orchestra is the oldest professional orchestra in America and is considered by leading musical critics as one of the finest in the country.

Reinald Werrenrath, America's most popular baritone, who appeared in Hanover two years ago, will give a song recital January 15 in the second prominent event on Dartmouth's musical program next season. Commenting upon the singer's previous performance at Dartmouth Professor McWhood states:

"Mr. Werrenrath created so fine an impression when he was here two years ago that more requests have been received by the Music Department for him to return to Hanover than for any other artist who has appeared here with the exception of Fritz Kreisler."

Following his graduation from New York University in 1905, Mr. Werrenrath studied abroad for several years. He has been enthu siastically received in England, where he made a concert tour three years ago and has also sung in all the large cities of the United States. He is a member of the Dutch Treat Club of New York, the New York Athletic Club, the Cliff Dwellers of Chicago, and the Psi Upsilon fraternity.

Albert Spalding, popularly looked upon as the leading American violinist of today, will conclude Dartmouth's musical program for 1923-24 by a violin .recital March 11. Mr. Spalding is the adopted son of A. G. Spalding, the well-known maker of sporting goods, and in addition to playing in all the more important European countries, he has composed several compositions for the violin. During the World War Spalding enlisted in the Aviation Corps, U. S. Signal Service, and gave several recitals for the soldiers in France.

Besides these attractions the Music Department is making arrangements for its usual series of weekly concerts during the indoor season next year. These will include both local and outside talent, but a definite program of these is not arranged until next fall.
