Director.
MR. HOSCHKE is well known throughout the professional world
as a composer. His works number some fifty opus numbers, among
which are many for piano solo, but his reputation of being one of the
foremost writers rests upon the merits of his larger works for or-
chestra, piano and orchestra, chamber-music combinations, etc.
Mr. Hoschke teaches improvisation and advanced orchestration.

MME. FRIEDA SIEMENS, as head of the piano
department, is an artist whose record is an un-
interrupted series of triumphs in Europe and
America. Her first study was with Wilhelm
Leipholz at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Con-
servatory in Berlin. At the age of twelve she
toured America with Victor Herbert and his
orchestra, afterward returning to Europe to
continue study with Clara Schumann, and after
the death of Mme. Schumann, with Ernst
Engesser. Mme. Siemens has appeared as
soloist with nearly every important orchestra
and chamber-music organization in Europe and
America. Her department is augmented by
several most competent assistants.
MR. HANS LETZ, founder of the famous
Letz Quartet, is widely known, both on account
of his former connection as concertmaster of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and also because
of his solo appearances with leading orchestras
in New York, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cin-
cinnati and Philadelphia. Pupil of Joachim
and teacher of great experience, Mr. Letz' ad-
dition to the faculty assures the student of the
best possible instruction in violin playing.
MR. HORACE BRITT, of the Letz Quartet,
teaches violoncello playing, instrumental accom-
panying, chamber-music ensemble and orchestral
classes. Mr. Britt was born in Antwerp, Bel-
gium, of Belgian parents. His student days
were passed in Paris, where he entered the Con-
servatoire Nationale as a pupil of Jules Delsart
on the 'cello and of Albert Lavignac in harmony.
He graduated at the surprisingly early age of
fourteen, and notwithstanding his extreme
youth, won the first prize for violoncello playing.
SOLON ALBERTI heads the department of
vocal accompanying, coaching, and grand opera.
He has coached and accompanied many of the
best-known singers on the present-day concert
stage in operatic roles and song repertoire. He
appeared often as assisting artist with prominent
Metropolitan Opera House singers, has pro-
duced and conducted a long list of operas with
representative casts that include artists like
exclusively
Homer, Rappold, Whitehill, Scott, etc., and
has also been associate artist and accompanist
for many instrumental soloists.
FLEEDA NEWTON ALBERTI has charge of
the voice-production department. She is an
artist of genuine dramatic interpretative powers
and possesses a voice of great warmth, has met
with great successes in concert and in opera
roles, and is most generally fitted for her re-
sponsible task.

MR. G. ACKLEY BROWER has undisputed
ability to direct the theory and composition
department, which is regarded by the Institute
as one of the most important to the proper pur-
suit of the study of music—the knowledge of the
underlying principles of the art—and upon the
excellence of which department it lays particu-
lar stress.
MME. YVONNE BEAUREGARD'S reputation
and success is the teaching of elementary and
intermediate piano, the result of a number of
years of training under Mme. Siemens and
association with her as preparatory teacher to
the latter's advanced classes. The elementary
and intermediate piano departments are under
the personal direction of Mme. Beauregard.

MR. JAMES F. KNOX has charge of the ele-
mentary violin department. He was a pupil
of Sevcik, and is a soloist and teacher of unusual
merit. Mr. Knox has appeared in public per-
formances since he was very young and when a
mere boy attracted the attention of Walter
Damrosch, who at that time predicted a bril-
liant future for him, which has been fully sub-
stantiated by his more recent successes.

MR. HOWARD P. GANSTIER heads the de-
partment of expression and dramatics. His
unusual experience not only in the teaching of
these subjects, but his practical stage and pro-
duction work fit him exceptionally well for these
departments. Some of his stage settings and
designs have been extensively employed in
theatrical circles.
