CONCERTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
TT G. TUCKER, of Boston, Mass., is a
* 1 • man of insuperable determination
and energy. He has evolved a great mu-
sical scheme, by which he expects to give
the very best music to those who are un-
able to pay high prices. As Mr. Tucker
is a man of many influential friends, he is
enabled to accomplish much, especially
when his enterprises are of so broad a na-
ture and many musicians lend their inter-
est and influence. The list of guarantors
makes his elaborate plans possible, and
under his skillful manipulation his efforts
will doubtless meet with success.
The People's Temple has been called in-
to requisition for these concerts, as the
amphitheatre seating capacity is greater
than that of any other than the Sym-
phony Hall and in lieu of anything be-
tween, the People's Temple promises to be
popular.
Mr. Tucker will give five concerts, the
first of which will be given by the Worces-
ter chorus, which, in itself, is a great at-
traction.
The plans and soloists are herewith
given.

LEIPSIC PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.
"THE first time in the history of Ameri-
* ca's music such a colossal enterprise
has been attempted as to bring an entire
Philharmonic Orchestra from abroad.
Mrs. Norma Kniipfel, however, has un-
dertaken to do this, and even in point of
the fact that the orchestra is not due until
March, she has been flooded with requests
for dates, as also letters expressing great
appreciation of her energy and enterprise.
The time was never so ripe for such a
musical feast as the present, for people
of Nuremberg Philharmonic Orchestra, and
was then called to Munich by Dr. Kaim to
organize and conduct those noted concerts.
In 1896 he founded the orchestra which
now will be heard in America. The most
noted soloists of the world have appeared
with Winderstein, the list including Rosen-
thai, Carreno, Ysaye, Josef Hofman, and
many others whose successes in America
have been enormous. The talent of Herr
Winderstein has brought him the friend-
ship of such artists as Grieg, who in a re-
cent letter to a mutual friend said:
"I wish I might always hear my music
conducted like that. Hans Winderstein
is a conductor of the first rank, that ad-
mits of no question, but the manner in
which he directs Wagner and my music
has never been heard before."
The first concert will be given March 1,
at Carnegie Music Hall, after which the
orchestra will go on tour through the
large cities which are now being booked,
many of which are writing for the dates.
