SYMPHONY CONCERT THURSDAY

Alfven's Third Symphony to be Played For First Time in Cambridge.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra will give the fifth of its series of concerts at the University Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, in Sanders Theatre. Miss Ethel Leginska, one of the best-known of the younger pianists, will be the soloist. She has had very great success in her recitals in Boston, but has only once before played with an orchestra. Miss Leginska will render a concerto for piano and orchestra by Liapounoff, a new Russian composer of whom little is known.

The most interesting number on the program is the third symphony of Hugo Alfven, played for the first time in Cambridge. It was introduced in Boston at the Symphony concert last week.

Richard Strauss' well-known tone poem, "Death and Transfiguration," will close the evening. The program follows:
