Gustav Holmquist is a bass-baritone, having a voice of excellent range and splendid timbre. He is a Swede, now living in Chicago, and his work is widely*, kne \n throughout the Middle West. His critics have lavished their praises upon him; his voice, manner, musicianship and personality ail being spoken of in glowing terms. His enunciation, particularly, is said to be a treat to the oft-tortured ear, Walter Damrosch and the forces of the New York Symphony orchestra will provide the feast .of instrumen tal music. The advent, of a genuine symphony orchestra under a world wide celebrity is an event which will make this festival memorable with out the addition of any other feature The fame of Damrosch*and his organ ization are so well known that the mere mention of the name Is suffi cient to Insure the-success of the in strumental parts of the concerts. Mr. Damrosch has been in the public eye for years, having recently celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary as an or chestral conductor. He took up his father’s baton upon his death, and although only t.wenty-two years oid at that time successfully conducted all the concerts which his distinguish ed and beloved father had planned previous to his demise, proving his ability, and establishing himself at once as a national figure in the mu sical life of the country. Mr, Damrosch Is the composer of a long list of works, including two op eras—" The Scarlet Letter," and "Cy rano”—and to him as well is accred ited the first performance in Amer ica of many of the great orchestral scores, including Tschalkowsky’s great "Sixth Symphony.” He is an undisputed authority on Wagnerian music, and his lectures on this sub ject are highly interesting.
