1in "Wildschütz" and "Barber of Seville." Miss Dilthey has many offers from Strasbourg, Zurich, Magdeburg, Koenigsberg, &c., for next season, but as a true American she is homesick, although she has found the Germans so appreciative. She may appear in London next spring, and then return to her home, where she made her first success.
3Mr. James Sauvage's Success.—At the Thanksgiving Cæcilian concert in the Peddie Memorial Church in Newark, Mr. James Sauvage, baritone, sang, and the "Sunday Call" has the following to say about him:
5Mr. Sauvage came next with a most thrilling delivery of Schubert's great dramatic setting of Goethe's "Erlking." It was one of the most impressive performances of this song that we ever listened to, and this alone is sufficient to stamp Mr. Sauvage as an artist of the highest merit. The applause was tumultuous, and Mr. Sauvage sang in response the old English ballad, "The Friar of Orders Gray."
7Mr. Sauvage sang "Maiden Mine," a posthumous song by Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and Traherne's "Laughing," and was compelled to repeat the latter. Miss Bessie Bowman on the piano, with Mr. Bowman and Mr. Prignitz, played a delightful intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana."
9Tonzo Sauvage played the piano accompaniments for his father and, especially in his accompaniment of the "Erlking," displayed correct taste and true appreciation of the song. It was an able and forceful performance of his part of the work, which is almost as important as the vocal part. He also played the piano part in Cowen's cantata.
11Mr. James Sauvage and his son Tonzo are engaged on Christmas Day to appear at two concerts in Shenandoah, Pa.
13Mr. Corey's Organ Recital.—Mr. N. J. Corey gave his fourth free organ recital at the Fort Street Presbyterian Church, Detroit, on Monday, December 7, assisted by Mr. Frederick Mills, violinist. He played the "St. Ann" fugue by Bach, the fifth organ sonata by Rheinberger and three novelties, a "Fantaisie" in D minor, by Silas, and two tone pictures by Dudley Buck, "On the Coast" and "Choral March." Mr. Mills played a serenade in four movements by Jadassohn.
15Paderewski's Recitals.—Mr. Paderewski's next recital takes place to-morrow afternoon, at 2:30, in the music hall of the Madison Square Garden. His program, like that of Saturday afternoon at the new Music Hall, is magnificent in scope and variety.
17Mr. W. P. Apthorp's Address.—Mr. Wm. P. Apthorp, of the Boston "Transcript," will read an address next Thursday evening on "Evolution in Music" at the National Conservatory of Music, 126 and 128 East Seventeenth street.
19Miss Marion Hendrickson.—This favorite young soprano will sing at the Euterpe concert to-morrow evening in Brooklyn under the direction of Mr. C. Mortimer Wiske. Miss Hendrickson's numbers are "Trockne Blumen," "Un-
21geduld," Schubert, and an aria from "Queen of Sheba," Gounod.
23The Opera.—The program for the first week of Messrs. Abbey & Grau's opera season, which began at the Metropolitan Opera House last Monday night, is as follows: Monday, Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette," in French, Emma Eames and the De Reszke brothers; Wednesday, "Il Trovatore," Lilli Lehmann, Paul Kalisch and Giulia Ravogli; Friday evening, "Les Huguenots," Albani, Scalchi and the De Reszkés; Saturday afternoon, Bellini's "Norma," Lilli Lehmann, Giulia Ravogli and Paul Kalisch. one of two readings
24The Opera.—The program for the first week of Messrs. Abbey & Grau's opera season, which began at the Metropolitan Opera House last Monday night, is as follows: Monday, Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette," in French, Emma Eames and the De Reszké brothers; Wednesday, "Il Trovatore," Lilli Lehmann, Paul Kalisch and Giulia Ravogli; Friday evening, "Les Huguenots," Albani, Scalchi and the De Reszkés; Saturday afternoon, Bellini's "Norma," Lilli Lehmann, Giulia Ravogli and Paul Kalisch. one of two readings
26A Mandolin Concert.—Gino y Lopez Perera, mandolinist, will give a concert at Steinway Hall next Friday evening, assisted by Carlotta Pinner, soprano; Joseph Lynde, baritone, and Walter J. Hall, pianist.
28"The Lion Tamer."—Francis Wilson will produce a new comic opera, "The Lion Tamer," at the Broadway Theatre on December 30. The bare announcement that Mr. Wilson will appear in a new part should be enough to crowd the house.
30Mr. Kaufmann's Concert.—Robert Kaufmann, tenor (pupil of Julius Stockhausen), Frankfort, Germany, will give a concert at Steinway Hall to-morrow evening, assisted by Mrs. Mueller-Hartung and Arthur Friedheim, pianist.
32Johanna Bach's Concert.—Miss Johanna Bach, contralto, and Mrs. Valesca Franck, pianist, will give a concert at Steinway Hall, Tuesday, January 5, 1892, assisted by Miss Jeanne Franko, violinist, and Edward Schlömann, bass.
34Rubinstein Club Concert.—The Rubinstein Club, Mr. William R. Chapman's organization for the performance of music for women's voices, which during the last four seasons has given its concerts in Chickering Hall, gave its first concert of this winter in the Music Hall last Thursday night with the assistance of Mr. Galassi and of the Beethoven Quartet Club.
36The hundred or more members of the club, in light evening dress, made, as usual, a pretty picture on a stage decorated with shrubs and palms. The house was well filled with invited guests.
38Mr. Chapman gets an excellent tone out of his chorus, and much of the singing is marked by delicacy and precision. The program included Schumann's "Gypsy Life," Bendl's cantata, "The Water Sprite's Revenge," in which Miss Flora M. Bertelle, soprano, and Emily M. Lawler, contralto, sang the solos; Mackenzie's "Distant Bells," Vogrich's "The Rhine" and shorter pieces of Brahms, Hiller and Poutot. The latter's "Broken Pitcher" was particularly well given, with great brilliancy and spirit, and the last part was repeated.
40Galassi sang "Eri tu" from the "Ballo in Maschera" and the "Evening Star" romanza from "Tannhäuser." The Beethoven Quartet played with much finish and musical effect.
42The Orpheus Society.—The first private concert of the Orpheus Society this season occurred last Saturday evening at the Assembly Rooms of the Madison Square Garden. The society, under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Mees, did some good work, and they sing with the confidence that comes from constant practice. The soloists were Miss Olive Fremstad and Miss Heine, violin. Miss Fremstad's singing was excellent, her rich contralto filling the large hall perfectly, but Miss Heine gave the impression that she is capable of better playing than that heard at the concert. The society will give four concerts this season and their prospects for success are very brilliant.
44FOR SALE—A fine old violoncello of sweet tone. Price $300. Address Joseph Hornsteiner, 27b Potsdamer strasse, Berlin, Germany.
46WANTED—A first-class 'cello player for solo, opera or concert orchestra wants an engagement. Address M. E., care of Musical Courier.
