WHITING CONCERT TONIGHT

Mr. Arthur Whiting and assisting artists will give the first concert of a series of Expositions of Chamber Music in the John Knowles Paine Concert Hall of the Music Building on Kirkland street this evening at 8.15 o'clock. All officers and students of the University are invited to attend this concert, to which no admission fee is charged.

These expositions, which are given annually at Princeton and Yale, as well as Harvard, were first held in 1907. Their purpose is three-fold: to arouse and appeal to the artistic sense of American college men, to develop an appreciation of aesthetics, and to begin a layman's education in the art of music. Classical compositions form the main part of the concerts, but modern and experimental works are frequently presented.

Each performance is preceded by a talk on the character and form of the music, which fixes the attention of the students on important points and assists them to understand and appreciate classical works until their tastes and standards become those of intelligent listeners.

In addition to Mr. Whiting at the harpsichord there will be four assistants, Miss Loraine Wyman, soprano; Mr. George Barrere, flute; Mr. Jacob Danziger, violin; and Mr. Percy Such, violoncello.
