Show MUSIC AT THE EXPOSITION. I'aiiious limes Banil Engaged to riay for Six Week at Oiualia. Omaha, Sept. 20. Innes' famous New Vork City concert band -has been en-guged en-guged to play at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition daily from September 25 to October 31. This baud is one of the most successful musical organizations in the country today. Frederick N. Innes, the conductor, first made a reputation as a trombone player. When he took up the trombone it was known solely as an instrument of percussion, per-cussion, and he astonished the world by demonstrating its adaptability to solo playing, capable of finely expressing express-ing all phases of passion. In fact he was the discoverer of trombone music, the originator of the triple B flat tuba which he uses. When he organized his band he gave up trombone trom-bone playing, and now he persistently refuses to play except an occasional number at one of his own band concerts con-certs or in compliment to some distinguished distin-guished gathering of friends. He had just planted his flag on the mountain, like Excelsior, and came down again to begin climbing another ladder to fame.' |
