 F. W. T0RF.INGTON, f^r-.Q. 
 
 Thk Committkk ok ihk Tokont.) Philiiarmomc SociKiv have much pleasure in 
 foi-wardin<r a copy of the progranme of the coming season— 1874-5- They would especially in- 
 \ite attention to the proposed performance of two works, the secular Cantata of Fridoi.IN and 
 the sublime Oratorio of ST. I'AII.. both of which are to be rendered for the first time in Canada. 
 The former work indeed has never yet been performed out of England, and there only at the 
 great Musical Festivals held at I^irmingham, Bristol, &c., where choral societies exist 
 of long experience and high repute. The effort to introduce works of this character, so new 
 and so interesting, before they have become hackneyed will, the Committee trust, be fully 
 appreciated not only by amateurs but all who have any love or tastx: for music. The produc- 
 tion, however, of any work is expensive in proportion to its novelty ; and if amateurs and public 
 desire to hear works beyond the range of those with which they are already familiar, they must 
 sustain the Society in the pecuniary outlay involved in their preparation. The Committee 
 wish to know, before entering upon the heavy cost of producing here such works as they have 
 placed upon their programme, how far they have the sympathy of amateurs and the public. 
 To prepare at a great expense these compositions, for over two hundred members to spend 
 many nights of practice prior to their presentation, on the chance of being repaid by an audi- 
 ence which some other chance, as a wet ni-ht or rival attraction, may prevent assembling— is a 
 risk and speculation such as no musical society is ever or can be expected to undertake. The 
 basis of all established prosperous societies i:: a body of annual subscribers, relying on whose 
 support the managers and members proceed to organize each season's work with confidence, 
 knowing that no pecuniary loss can ensue. The Toronto Philharmonic Society have every 
 reason to recognise the liberal response made in two previous seasons for such support. This 
 year, however, it is proposed to make a great advance, as already named— to accomplish, in fact, 
 what would be creditable to far older, far more experienced societies. They trust, therefore, 
 that all who desire to see a permanent progressive musical .society established here as an 
 abiding institution for cultivating musical art, and as a source of most refined, elevating and 
 intellectual pleasure, will sustain the Committee and encourage the members and Conductor by 
 enabling them to enter upon the season with a roll of subscribers requisite to make the pecuniary 
 basis of the enterprize free of all risk.

 The Committee have tlie pleasure to announce to the Subscribers anil the Public that FOUR GRAND 
 
 PERFORMANCES will be given during the coming Season, with the BEST VOCALISTS AND 
 
 INSTRUMENTALISTS the means placed at their ilisposal will allow ; and they hope, by 
 
 sparing no labor, to make this A VERY ATTRACTIVE SEASON.

 Early in 1875, a GRAND MISCELLANEOUS CONCERT, including the New Cantata, 
 
 This work, written by Signor Randegoer, was producetl at the last Birmingham Festival, and received there 
 with great enthusiasm by the elite of the Musical World. The Cantata has since been performed at London 
 Bristol, Nottingham, &c., and everywhere gave the highest satisfaction and delight. ' 
 
 As the production of a new work for the first time in Canada involves great expense and labor the Com- 
 mittee trust that the music-loving public of the City and Province will so far sustain them by subscriptions as 
 to encourage the Society to introduce periodically the new works which excite such interest at the great Musical 
 Festivals in England. 
 
 .■».. 
 
 The Season to conclude with MENDELSSOHN'S magnificent Oratorio of 
 
 ST. PAIL. 
 
 As this sublime work has never been rendered before in Canada, its production here will be an event of 
 great musical interest, and aflford convincing evidence of the great progress made by the Society in mastering 
 the difficulties of these grand compositions. It is the determinat\on of the Conductor and members of the Band 
 and Chorus to spare no pains in endeavoring to emulate the success of the renowned Choral Societies of Europe 
 The Committee therefore confidently appeal to their subscribers and the public to afi^ord such liberal support 
 as will enable them to provide the necessary funds for maintaining an organization which has given such an 
 earnest of what it will yet do to develope the love of music in th vt aspect which affords such refreshinw and 
 elevating pleasure. °
