' [ M-U S I. Far and away the most important *• musical event thus far announced for the first half of the season In Omaha is the Omaha symphony orchestra concert to ha given at the Auditor ium Thursday evening. The pretentious program announc ed for the concert would he of ex ceptlonal Interest under any circum stances. but it derives a double Inter est through Its presentation hy Oma ha musicians under the leadership of such an eminent kuest conductor as Engelbert Roentgen, assistant con ductor of the Minneapolis sy/nphony orchestra. Mr. Roentgen is to arrive in Oma ha this Sunday to drill the orchestra In a final Intensive series of rehears als each morning this week. lie will find that orchestra excel lently grounded In the musical frame work of the program, for the 65 musicians have been rehearsing for weeks under the direction of Ernest Nordln, resident conductor, and Rudolph Soldi, associate director. The final series of rehearsals this week will he necessary only to acquaint ^ the musicians with Mr. Roentgen’3 * readings of the scores. Interest will be added to the con cert hy the appearance of Florence Van Hovcn, well known dramatic soprano. The complete program of the con cert, which has already been com mented upon In this page, follows: Ov*rtur* to "KRmnnt." On. 84.He*thoven Ai'ln.

The grief-burdened song of Alda, the Egyptian slave, mourning for Rhadames, her soldier lover. Is one of the “show pieces" of opera literature. "Valse Caressante.” on# of the songs In her second group, will he of especial Interest because it was com posed by Engelbert Roentgen, the guest conductor of the evening. The orchestra program Is one which will hare no dull spots. The composers have been neatly chosen | to exhibit a variety of moods, and no number will be reminiscent of others preceedlng it on the program. The opening number, the overture to "Egmont," Is the first and most Important of the nine pieces of in oldental music composed by Beeth oven for OJnethr’s great tragedy. It was Ironical that this incidental music was so excellent that It has lived long after the play lias been re tired to musty library shelves. The gloomy, foreboding music of this overture is neatly balanced hy the sweetness of Dvorak’s symphony, which follows it. "From the New * World," has been a. favorite with concert lovers ever since Its composi tion, which was not so long ago. The string choir will he heard alone in Mozart's happy serenade. The lyric quality will distinguish this number on the program. Debussy’s whimsical 'The After noon of a Faun." a dainty sort of work, will he followed by the smash ing prelude to Tannhsuser.

New York, has centered all his musical studies on the works of Johann Se bastlan Bach, unquestionably the most profound master of organ mu sic who ever lived. He is regarded as an authorrity on the interpreta tion of Bach'a compositions, and lita execution does full justice to his appreciation. The program is not composed ex clusively of Bach music, but will he In part a historical study, present ing compositions of Seeger and Wal ther, contemporaries and intimates of Bach: Buxtehude, one of Bach's instructors, and Wilhelm Bach, the master's son. i Mr. Rechlin will offer an ImprovI j nation in his program.
