The plans now contemplate tho giving of four symphony concerts and probably one or two popular concerts before the close of the season. At least two local artists who have not been heard in Salt Lake for several seasons and one of the greatest soloists from New York will appear with the orchestra at an early concert. In addition to presenting the best available music, of the classics, the orchestra or-chestra will continue its policy of encouraging en-couraging local composers and such local work as possesses merit will be produced from time to time. Tho orchestra now has nearly fifty members and an increase in-crease is planned as suitable talent with devotion to the cause is found.

Famous Baritone Is Coming to Tabernacle Pasquale Amato, emperor of baritones. bari-tones. Such is the title conferred upon this distinguished grand opera and concert con-cert star, who will sing here at the tabernacle tab-ernacle on Monday, October 2, by- the many thousands who know the extent of his superlative, abilities. His engagement engage-ment will be under the auspices of the -Musical Arts society. Amato was 22 when he made his debut as Germont in "La Trav.iata, 'J a role which was to prove fortunate for the singer whenever he appeared in it. The debut was successful and people Predicted a career for the manly young talian, but there was no wild enthusiasm. en-thusiasm. This was in 1P00. Encouraged, Amato sought engagements. Here and there he found them, but there were difficulties difficul-ties and there were sma 11 emoluments. For two years the artist struggled to support himself, Mrs. Amato and their first-born baby. And if you ask Amato lie will admit that there were days, onlv too often, whi'ii this distinguished artist knew what it was to suffer from hunger; when onTt the loyalty and supreme su-preme courage of a devoted wife made it possible for the struggling young singer to push on. In 1902 opportunity seemed to touch the singer 's shoulder. He was -permitted to sing for Giulio Gatti-i 'asa-za and Art tiro Toscanini, then impresario and first conductor of the famous La Scala in Milan. These experts agreed that there wss a fine voice and other admirable qualities quali-ties promising a possibly satisfactory career, but all advised Amato to obtain the benefits to be had through singing many different roles. They suggested he go to Germany, and Amato did so. He learned to speak the German language lan-guage like a native, and he gained a reputation in such parts as Amfortas in "Parsifal" and Kurwenal in "Tristan "Tris-tan and Isolde. Returning to Italy in 1 f05 Amato discovered that his reputation had preceded pre-ceded him. He was immediately engaged en-gaged to appear in Venice, and it was his singing of Germont in ''Traviata'' that led to his engagement at La Scala in Milan. Tt was decided that he should make his first appearance at this opera hou?e as Barnaba in "La Gioeonda. ' ' A few davs before his announced appearance Amato succumbed to an attack of laryngitis laryn-gitis and bronchitis. He knew that to sing would be disastrous, but the physician phy-sician attending him advised tho management man-agement that he could pull through.; That night A mato found, after finish-ing finish-ing the monologue in the first act of " Gioeonda, ' that he had no voice left. Pi scon raped, he left the theater nnd wrote his director that he was finished with his professional career and would go into business. The latter, however, knew Amato's qualities. He said. "No. rest, you will have another opportunity. So for twenty eight days the singer remained re-mained in bed. Then he reappeared, hs Kurwenal in "Tristan,"' to make an immediate triumph. From that moment forward Amato was in everv sense Italy' Hist baritone. In the summer seasons the singer journeyed jour-neyed to South America, and there his popularit v advanced wit li each ?ucp s-sive s-sive appearance. When Mr. Gatti- asn v.ltk vn '-ailed ' to New York as director of the Metropolitan Metro-politan Opera eompaiiv Mr. Amato was his first choice among the principals, and from t hat autumn niyht in l!H when he made hU bow to the American public in "Traviata. the artistic rise of this distinguished artist lias kept paep with his popularity. Mr. Amato 's magnet ic a nd imposing personality has been almost as important im-portant a his vocal nri in making him supreme among baritone-, on the i-oneert stage. His raieer has indeed been phenomenal. phe-nomenal. New Teacher "Welcomed. Miss Jivm Tnvrv, n t c: r-Ur.y rf U)f jv;hio from PHIon.
