This year Miss Steers and Mls Co man will give five concerts In their aubacriptlon series and the artists to he presented number several new to Portland. It will be noticed by those who have patronised these concerts year after year that ther management always essays to bring a variety of musicians.

She made her debut In that City at 17 In "Romeo and Juliet" Since then she has toured practically the entire world In concert. Massenet was so struck with the beauty of her voice that he offered to coaeli her arratia for ooera. Her voice Is said to possess remarkable beauty and purity and with Impeccable technique and a radiant personality she has proved a "winner." :'Z ' With Jomelli will come Mario Nichols, a voun violinist who- tiss been attract-i ing a great deal of attention, and Mag dalene Worden. a nlanist and composer, whose name is well known. Mias Nich ols is greeted as the follower of Maude jpoweil, mat mosi succeseiui oi women violinists. ; ' The second concert will Present Ma dame Teresa Carreno, who was greeted with such acclaim here two seasons ago. Curreno is always a person of unusual -interest, a woman as fascinating for her personality and history as lor her arreat talent Of course her story is pretty well known to every one. She was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where her father was a man of wealth and power as minister of finance till he was ruined by one of the revolutions. Her talent was discovered when as a child ' of three she reproduced on the piano a Polish dance she had heard a friend play and which had stuck in her mem ory. , Her father was a musician as well, and he undertook her instruction. While still extremely young, she com posed several pieces and is the author of the Veitesuelan national-hymn. She made her first public appearance at nine in New York and created a sensation. .Gottschalk heard her and took her in charge for three years. Later George Mathias of Paris and Rubinstein took her in hand and each gave her spme thing of his best work. Her'career has i ben one of uninterrupted ' progress of glory and fame. Everywhere she has won recognition and everywhere praise Is given the charming woman as well as the wonderful musician. The third In the list Is George Ham lin, that charming tenor whose incom parable art raised him in one night from oblivion as far as the Portland public was concerned, to the oed.-sta! where Portland's favorites are placed. It is doubtful If any one has ever come here so practically unknown and won such a triumph s did George Hamlin some two or three seasons back. Some of the songs that he sang at that con cert have become the favorites of many local singers since then. For that is one of the delightful things about Mr. Hamlin he selects his programs wel! and artistically and la not afraid to present new things, depending on the discernment of the public to give them the same popularity as Js accorded to other better known songs through sen timent. It was Mr. Hamlin that in troduced the Richard Strauss songs to America. Frits Krelsler, the violinist, will be the fourth in the series and little need he said of him. He has given two or three concerts in Portland and has rach time established his popularity beyond a doubt. Mr. Krelsler has secured Ir revocably a place among the world's greatest violinists and his name stands for the best and the sanest in violln letic art. The announcement that he la to return to America this spason has met with numerous requests for en gagements all over the country. The past winter he spent in touring Europe after s successful aesaon In Aint-rlca. Two seasons ago he appeared here In Joint concert with Harold Bauer, pian ist, and together they produced one of the strongest musical combinations ever heard here. The final concert will he given br Madame Marcella Semhrlch. tti- Incom parable colorature soprano whose puh Ilo career has been great Inderd.

Another valuable addition to the fac ulty of the school of music- Is in the person of May Babbltt-Ressler. planlste. pupil of Arthur Foote of Huston, a teacher of planaforte already successful in Oregon and a brilliant and authorita tive performer.
