GREAT MUSIC FESTIVAL NEXT WEEK.
FOUR GREAT CONCERTS ARRANGED FOR FEBRUARY 20,21 AND 28
The most important Music Festival ever held
at Stetson University begins on Thursday evening
at 8 o'clock with Elgar's masterpiece, "King Olaf"
This work employs the Stetson-DeLand Choral
Society, three Eminent Soloists, Orchestra, Piano
and Organ. 'rW music is sublime, thoroughly
in accord with the text, and vividly portrays the
life of the great Norwegian King, who battled nobly
for his Christian beliefs.
Mme. Nina Dimitrieff, the famous Russian
Prima Donna, will sing the soprano role.
Ellison VanHoose, Tenor, will sing the part
of Olaf, and Marcus Kellerman, Bass, will sing
the Bass part which represents several characters.
King Olaf is the most difficult, yet the most
interesting and beautiful music the Choral Society
has ever undertaken and everybody in DeLand
ought to hear it. It will probably never be repeated here.
On Friday afternoon, February 21, at 3:30
o'clock, the part song concert will occur. This
will be a very attractive program at popular prices.
The Junior Chorus from the Public School
will sing several good numbers.
The Vesper Choir will sing half a dozen very
beautiful choruses never heard here before, and
three soloists will appear—Mme. Annie Louise
David, America's greatest Harpist, Miss Beatrice
McCue, a great Contralto, and Mr. Marcus Kellerman, Baritone, will assist at this concert.
On Friday evening, February 21, at 8 o'clcok
we will have the Artists Concert. The program
arranged for is truly magnificent. Selections from
Operas, Arias, Songs and Quartets, also four or
five charming Harp Solos will make this a distinguished event.
It does not often happen that you can hear
five such artists in one concert.—Mme. Nina
Dimitrieff, Soprano; Miss Beatrice McCue, Contralto; Mme. David, Harpist; Ellison Van Hoose,
Tenor and Marcus Kellerman, Baritone.
The Soprano, Tenor and Baritorte are Grand
Opera Stars with big reputations.
VanHoose is a member of the Chicago-Philadelphia Opera Company. Marcus Kellerman hails
from the Berlin Opera Company, and Mme. Dimitrieff has appeared extensively in opera both in
London and on the Continent.
You could not hear a better Concert than
this in any of the big cities of the world.
On Friday night, February 28th, we shall
have the privilege of hearing the wonderful David
Bispham, Baritone, assisted by Harry M. Gilbert)
Composer-Pianist.
The program will be all English. The same
program he is giving in New York with such great
and increasing success. There is only one David
Bispham, and there probably will never be another
like him-. His art stands alone in the musical
sings, and you won't need a program, bet
every word is distinctly uttered, and it will all
be in English. His delightful talks proceeding
each song will appeal to you as being a charming
part of the program.
Wait till you hear him sing "Danny Deever,"
and "When I was Page," and "The Song of the
Shirt," and a few others and you will realize that
you are hearing something far above par.
By request he will recite "King Robert of
Sicily," with musical accompaniment.
The sease'n tickets, 13.00 and $4.00 will be
on sale Saturday, February 15th, 8 A. M. al Brick-
son's Music Store.
The intrinsic value <>t the four ffered
is far superior tu any previous events. The pi
fixed an- exceedingly low, and should not pro*
bibit anyone from attending this Biennial I
val. The Chorus is in splendid shape and will
give King Olaf an inspiring rendition.
Forty of DeLand's progressive and public-
spirited Business men are acting M guarai
