BOSTONIA SEXTETTE CLUB


C.  L.  STAATS,  DIRECTOR 

THE BOSTONIA SEXTETTE CLUB was organized in September, 1898, and is to¬day the most noted organization of its kind in the country. It has toured the United States repeatedly from ocean to ocean, and from Texas in the South to Prince Edward Island in the North, appearing in almost every State in the Union, and all parts of the Provinces in Canada. It is still under the direction of Mr. C. L. Staats, the celebrated clarinet virtuoso, who was its founder, and under whose direction it has been each season ever since. Its success has been honestly earned on its own merits, and it does not rely on the prestige of any parent organiza¬tion as a guarantee of its worth. It has established its reputation by ten years of successful con¬cert giving before the American public. Mr. Staats is an artist of international reputation and experience, having played in the leading musical organizations in Europe and America. He has filled the position of first clarinet in the Royal Italian Opera, Her Majesty's Theatre, London, at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, and at the great Casino in Ostend, Belgium. Here in the United States he is the most noted clarinetist on the concert stage, having played solo clari¬net in Sousa's Band, and for years been a prominent member of the Boston Symphony Orches¬tra. As a soloist he is to-day without a rival, and is the only clarinetist devoting his time to solo playing and high-class concerts.
The playing of the club under the direction of Mr. Staats has never failed to please both the press and public, each selection being rendered with the utmost delicacy and perfection of ensemble. Mr. Staats has surrounded himself with artists of high rank, making the organization unex¬celled from an artistic standpoint, while its programs are both novel and interesting, consisting, as they do, of solos for clarinet, violin, and 'cello; numbers for strings alone as well as brilliant selections for the entire club. A young and talented soprano soloist will assist the club, render¬ing an aria and also a song with clarinet obligato by Mr. Staats. This is a most interesting and novel feature of the concerts. A classical or popular program can be given as desired. The Bostonia Sextette Club is an ideal attraction for musical or choral clubs, schools, colleges, churches, Y. M.C.A.'s, the Lyceum stage, and, in fact, in all places where high-class music per¬formed in a most artistic manner is desired. Attention is called to the fact that no piano is needed at its concerts, the accompaniments to the songs and solos being played by the Sextette. Space will allow of only a few of the many flattering comments of the United States and Cana¬dian press.
