was born in Amsterdam. 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
