Portland. Oregon. February 11— Tha
closing concert of the Portland Sym­
phony Orchestra for the 1912-31 sea­
son Is announced for Monday evening,
February 13
A parked Auditorium
Is anticipated to hear Verdi's "R e ­
quiem" sung hy the 200 members at
the Portland Choral society. It la a
magulficlent. melodious and dramatic
work, and when presented by an » 1-
cellent chorus In maaa singing la In­
deed moat glorious.
Furthermore, there will be four so­
loists to alng the special passages.
Each la a well-known artist, and three
of the quartet were heard when the
Choral society gave the "Requiem-
two year ago. They are Madame l-eah
1-casks soprano. Rose Friedle Glanel-
li, contralto, Arthur Johnaon. tenor,
and Mark Daniels, bass.
Verdi composed this famous work
in memory of two of Italy’s best loved
artists. Allesandro Manxont. the poet
and novelist, and Gioacchino Rossini,
the composer The frequent solo parts
with quartets and tremendous choru­
ses make it one of the greatest works
of its kind.
Although thla musical
classic Is sometimes referred to aa
an oratorio it is more correctly de­
fined aa an opera, bat without cos­
tumes and scenery.
"As the present music season draws
to a close," state* Mrs. M. Donald
Spencer.
manager of the Portland
Symphony society, "w e feel that a-
nother year of achievement baa been
added to our record. W e have gives
the public 15 splendid concerts and
brought to the West some of the fin­
est musicians. At the same time, wa
have recognised onr own local artists
and presented them in most success­
ful programs.
"The closing concert the night at
February 13 should be a most thrill­
ing and beautiful one. and we are glad
to be able to present the 20« members
of the Choral society and these four
outstanding soloists. The “ Requiem”
should be a memorable choice for tha
end of the present season.”
Reservations may be made direct or
