Ossip Gabrilowitsch will be the assisting artist in the concert given tonight by the University Glee Club, in Symphony Hall at 8.15 o'clock. This concert is the first of the Glee Club's annual series of three Symphony Concerts for the 1924-1925 season.
Gabrilowitsch is a virtuoso of rare repute. He is an accomplished pianist and an equally well-known conductor. He was a pupil of Rubinstein. Since 1900, he has entertained many thousands in this country, both as a pianist and since 1918 as director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. He will play a classical program including compositions of Handel, Bach, and Beethoven.
The Glee Club, an ensemble of 185 men under Dr. A. T. Davison '06, will sing a well-balanced program of songs, which starts with religious pieces, both old and modern, progresses with light modern glees of Russian, French, English, and American vintage, interrupted by an old French love song, and concludes with a Netherlands Folk Song, "Prayers of Thanksgiving".
