Recital by Mr. C. Baermann Monday

Mr. Carl Baermann, of Boston, a widely known musician, will give a piano-forte recital under the auspices of the Deutscher Verein, in Sanders Theatre Monday evening, February 28, at 8 o'clock. This concert is given by Mr. Baermann to show his good will toward the musical life of the University and especially toward the Deutscher Verein.

For the past thirty years Mr. Baermann has been a prominent force in the artistic life of Boston by reason of his masterly interpretations of pianoforte literature, his broad scholarship and his inspiring teaching. Among his famous pupils there have been many Harvard men. His ancestors for generations have been conspicuous in the musical life of Germany. His grandfather,--Heinrich Baermann, was a famous clarinet player and an intimate friend of Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer and von Weber. The father of Carl Baermann inherited the musical talent of Heinrich, and was also a widely known composer of clarinet music.

Carl Baermann, Jr., was born in Munich in 1839. He was a pupil on the pianoforte of Liszt and in composition, of Lachner. Since 1880 he has been a concert performer and a teacher in America, his permanent home being in Boston. He has been a life-long student of the works of Beethoven, and his influence both in the performance and in the concert teaching of Beethoven's great masterpieces has been of the highest artistic and educational significance. He was an intimate friend of the late Professor John Knowles Paine h.'69, the founder of the Department of Music, and has always shown a keen interest in the growth of artistic ideals at Harvard whether shown in the modern languages or in music. It is to be hoped that his generous manifestation of good will may meet with the enthusiastic reception wrich it deserves.

Tickets, which will be required for admission, may be obtained free of charge of C. E. Hansen '12, 27 Holyoke street, or at the office in the Union.
