Breaking an precedents and establishing a new record of achievement, the University Glee Club will, for the first time in its history combine with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a regular pair of subscription concepts at Symphony Hall, to be given on Friday and Saturday of this week. The entire first act of Wagner's symbolic, opera "Parsifal" with the exception of the solos, will be given on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening.

Twice before in its history, once in the spring of 1917 and once last year, the Glee Club has sung together with the Symphony Orchestra, but in each case for a special pension fund and never before in a regular subscription concert, which represents the highest achievement possible in Boston musical circles.

Appropriate for Easter Season

"Parsifal" has been specially chosen for the Easter season and particularly for Good Friday, Imitating in this respect the custom of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York which presents the entire opera annually on the afternoon of Good Friday.

The Radcliffe Choral Society will join the Glee Club and the Boston Symphony in presenting the program. There will be seventy girls from the Choral Society and twelve men from the Flee Club behind the scenes under the direction of Dr. A. T. Davison '06; they will carry out the music which the pages are expected to sing. On the stage proper will be eighty members of the Glee Club who together with the Orchestra will be under the Personal supervision of Mr. Pierre Monteux, conductor of the Boston Symphony.

With the solos omitted, the length of the first act, even with the long purely orchestral work, will be greatly reduced and will last less than one hour. The work of the chorus consists of the singing by the knights and pages of the Holy Grail.
