It gives us great pleasure to state that a date has been secured this season for Harrisburg, and that for the first time in the musical annals of our city we axe to have an opportunity of hearing a concert such as is usually enjoyed enly in a great metropolis. On Saturday, May 5th, at 8.30 P. M. the celebrated Kneisel Quartette, of Bos tcn, will give one of its ideal renderings of chamber music in the Y.

M. C. A. Hall. The reputation of this quartette is too well established to require comment at cur hands.

Unsurpassed by any similar organization in the world it has steadily forged its way into public favor, until to day the mere mention of the fact of a Kneisel concert insures not only a largo audience, but also, a performance the excellence of which cannot be assailed. Each individual player is an artist of ne mean merit, hence the tout ensemble represents an artistic perfection rarely achieved Mr. Kneisel, the leader, though comparatively a young man, has already played himself into name and fame, not. only in this country, but in Europe. His connection with the Boston Symphony Orchestra has made him well known to all lovers of music.
