THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER V 1503.
THOUGH It la till early for the
musical aeaaoi to begin. It la not
early t give a forecaat of the
season' program. ' It la safe to
, aay that this will be tha richest
musical scaaon Portland haa known. As
each year passes and tha experiment la
made year after year of adding more
rand thlnca. it becomea , evident that
Portland can eupport a heavy musical!
aeaaon and that the musically apprecla
tlve nubile here la growing. There waa
nnrf inl nt angulation and not
little skepticism at the opening of laat
"year's season when a. schedule almost
twice aa full as In any preceding year
was announced.. Many predicted that
the public would "give out' oerore n
star performances. - But Portland held
lta own to the end of the season In
truth It sent a larger attendance to the
closing concerts than to many at the
beginning and middle of the season.
Ft was shown tht the Portland pub-
llo would take thankfully ana apprecl
atlvelv what was added to former
schedules and that more than one man
nmrnt could Introduce i the most ex
pensive stars from the east and from
.Kurope and atlU receive ample support.
.And the experiment haa decided these
'managers to undertake even more this
year and t,ne wontns wui do iuu vi gouu
things., . .
Miss Steers and Miss Coman, who
' have so long stood sponsors for the best
tin music In the far west; have added to
: their list or attractions. n rormer
Jyeara they did not think of bringing out
more man rour arums in uieir aramm.
'Last year they brought out the splendid
'Damrosch orchestra, the memory of
!-which still slows, and added it with -lta
remarkable, leader and with the lncom
'parable Nordica to their four other con
certs. This year I understand that they
"will stretch their schedule still further
to Include more than five concerts. - Ana

the greatest favorites in their tours of

. Then the Helllg is to continue the ex
periment which it found successful last
vear and will Introduce several artists
that have not visited Portland before.
That schedule, too, la incomplete, for
Mr. Helllg Is still In the east making
final arrangements. But It Is practi
cally settled that the Pitttsburg orches
tra will be here with "Victor Herbert as
. conductor, and V that VMr. Boyer will
, again conduct a 4arge chorus choir for
, a prolonged festival. Maud Powell will

management of Mrs. Edna B. Jones, will

much praise Is due Mrs. Jones for mak

lorciiestra which In other i years hnd to

In addition to. these attractions there

by local musicians. There Is talk by
one of tha leading musicians or giving a
season of chamber concerts. Introducing
at each one an outside artist of some

Is far enough-advanced musically to ap

His appearance there resulted In an
