The Music Box

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is on tour this week, but some of its members, led by its distinguished harpist, Bernard Zighera, are to give a most interesting chamber music concert in Jordan Hall on Tuesday evening. The program opens with a Sinfonie for Grand Orchestra (two violins, viola, bass, two oboes, two horns, two trumpets and tympani) written by the late eighteenth century Rhenish composer, Henri Joseph Riegel. Following this, there is to be a work by Daniel-Lesur, a member of the modern "La Jeune France" group, which is entitled "Five Interludes for Four Horns." The remainder of the program is equally interesting, and includes three short numbers by Scarlatti, a Mozart Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in E flat in which Madame Novaes is to be the soloist, and Kammermusik No. 1 by Paul Hindemith, modern German composer. This concert, which is to be the first in a series of three, is certainly of a rare and completely admirable type and shows great ingenuity in program construction.

San Carlo Opera

The San Carlo Opera Company concludes a week's run at the Opera House on Saturday evening. The prospectus glowingly announces that the organization has "a roster of incomparable artists, a brilliant chorus, the sensational corps de ballet, magnificent scenic productions and the famous San Carlo Opera Orchestra under the direction of the internationally renowned Carlo Peroni." However all that may be, they are giving "Lohengrin" tonight, "Madame Butterfly" on Thursday evening, "Rigoletto" on Friday, "Faust" on Saturday afternoon, and "Il Trovatore" on Saturday night. The scale of prices is low and a dollar can be put to good purpose in a ticket to one of the performances.
