vestment These programs wll in
clude the best professional talent ot
"" Omaha and of the state. They are
' programs which have been arranged
by musicians for an audience of mu-
sical people, ana, unuer o u.i.jV'

ready being arranged, the details of

young organi?ation, but.it has wade.
Ii remarkable growth in the four
rears since its inception. The prob

cussed and the furtherance of the
cause of. good music, both in co-operation
ATtb the schools and in con
certed aition upon the part of the

- who are working for the same cause
t individually, to work for It together.
. Musicians who live in different parts
of .the state meet and compare notes,
i and become acquainted with each
other and with each other's work,
which cannot help but be of mutual
benefit. Then there is the banquet, to
