The thirtieth annual May Festival to be given in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, Mich., from May 16 fo 19, consisting of four evening concerts with matinees on the afternoons of May 18 and 19, is being planned on much broader lines than in the past.
A variety of excellent musical offerings will be heard and artists representing all branches of music will participate. On this occasion the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will be heard for the nineteenth consecutive season, having appeared continuously since 1905, the festivals before that time having been given in connection with the Boston Festival Orchestra conducted by Emil Mollenhauer.
The University Choral Union, under the acting conductor-ship of Earl Vincent Moore, who for a number of years was associated with Dr. Albert A. Stanley, the founder of Ann Arbor’s Festival, will be heard in several of the programs. In collaboration with Frederick Stock, Mr. Moore has worked out some very interesting" programs, which, from the standpoint of variety, as well as real musical worth, should make the festival as a whole worthy of commemorating its thirtieth anniversary. For several years an important feature has been the participation of a large chorus of children under the leadership of George Oscar Bowen, supervisor of music of the Ann Arbor public schools. This year the chorus will be augmented somewhat, and from the splendid progress which has been made their contributions should be more important than in past years.
Gustav Holst to Conduct Hts Hymn of Jesus.
Of outstanding importance is the announcement that Gustav Holst, the distinguished British conductor-composer, will come to this country, arriving on the Aquitania about May 1, for the express purpose of conducting his monumental Hymn of Jesus, which will be offered by the orchestra and the Choral Union at the Thursday evening performance. Mr. Holst has won distinction abroad, for he is recognized as one of the prominent modern musicians. His Planet Symphony, which has recently been performed by some of the American orchestras, has attracted wide attention, while the Hymn of Jesus at its initial performance in London created a furore. Mr. Holst will be accompanied to America by his wife. In addition to this work, two of his orchestral compositions will also be played during the festival.
Soloists to Be Heard.
For the first time in many years a violinist will be included among the soloists, the choice having fallen to Erna Rubinstein, the distinguished young lady whose career during the past two seasons has attracted such wide attention. Ernest Schelling, the eminent pianist, will also be heard for ׳the first time, appearing in the Saturday afternoon concert. He will play his own Variations Symphonic.
The list of vocal stars includes Florence Macbeth, of the Chicago Opera, and Suzanne Keener, of the Metropolitan
