4Signor Pier A. Tirindelli, violinist of the Conservatory of Music, leaves early in May for London, where, during the operatic season, he will fill the position of concertmeister in the orchestra at the Covent Garden performances. His engagement will not interfere with his work at the conservatory. He will play under Herr Mottl's direction.

55Oscar J. Ehrgott, baritone, will sing at the Woman's Club on Thursday afternoon, April 12. He will be heard in a group of Spanish songs. Mr. Ehrgott is a song interpreter who will compare with the best. He has not been heard often in public this season, simply because he has had his hands full teaching. If he continues he will have to organize a school with several assistants.

59W. A. Lafferty.
60THE Musical Association of Allegheny, W. A. Lafferty, director, gave a concert last week in Carnegie Music Hall, which, like all the concerts given this season by that association, drew an audience which comfortably filled the hall. The soloists were Mrs. Vida McCullough McClure, soprano; Miss Esther M. Plumb, contralto; Dan T. Beddoe, tenor, and Edward J. Napier, basso, with Mrs. W. A. Lafferty and Miss Stella M. Bauer accompanists, and a chorus of voices. The ensemble work consisted of three Pinsuti songs, "The Watchword," "The Parting Kiss" and "Tell Me Flora," all of which were well received by the audience.
62Platon Brounoff.
63Composer, Conductor, Voice and Piano Specialist.
64ONE who is attracting much attention to himself of late is the Russo-American, Platon Brounoff, who, besides filling the above field, is a linguist, speaking six languages, a singer and lecturer.
65As a teacher of voice and piano he is in great demand, inquiry for lessons coming from all over the country—from Dallas, Tex., to Washington on the Pacific Coast. Certain of his pupils, now before the public as piano and vocal soloists, are well known and in demand. Inasmuch as he has of late received as many as ten inquiries daily for lessons, he will be unable to take any summer vacation.
66As a conductor, the fact that he directs three societies is proof of his prominence—the People's Male Chorus, the Concordia Ladies' Society, and the Russian Choral Society, and all give concerts of note, with prominent soloists.
67His New York début as a composer was made by the production of a suite for violin and piano, "Oriental Wedding," 1894, which had a marked success. Then followed orchestral works, "Cradle Song," Intermezzo from a suite, "In the Twilight" (Metropolitan Opera House, 1894), under the direction of Anton Seidl. In 1896 his cantata, "Angel," for two soloists, chorus and orchestra, was successfully produced at a concert of the Manuscript Society, Chickering Hall.
68The next thing of importance was his symphonic overture "Russia," produced at Carnegie Music Hall, May 20, 1896, and repeated at a Manuscript Society concert in 1897, on both occasions by the Seidl Orchestra, under Mr. Brounoff's personal direction, with brilliant success. Another suite for cello and piano "An Evening in Venice," was produced at Mendelssohn Glee Club Hall in 1897. Next appeared a piano suite, "In the Flower Garden," in nine parts, which is familiar to many piano players, and which has had three editions in one year. Lately, a song album, "The Dew o' the Morn," was published, which has already won the favor of every intelligent singer and music lover.
69The book of piano pieces, "In the Russian Village," is entirely Russian in character, with the original idea of giving illustrations to every number, and has a large sale.
70Of recent works, three love songs, soon to be issued by Luckhardt & Belder, and a dramatic cantata, "Triumph of the Soul," are most notable; there are already demands for the love songs, they having been sung privately to enthusiastic hearers.
71About June 1 he will hold a public examination of pupils, each piano pupil to play Weber's "Rondo Brilliant," and afterward a piece of their own selection, a prize to be given to the best.
72A few words of a biographical nature will prove of interest, as showing his progress.
73Brounoff is a native of Russia, and was born in Elisabethgrad (South Russia), on the 10th day of May, 1863. At the age of sixteen he entered the Musical Institute at Warsaw, and after three years' study with Strobel, Rogusky and Zarzycky (piano, theory, and composition) received his first diploma and returned to South Russia, where he made a concert tour in the cities of Charkoff, Nicolaieff, Cherson, Kremenczug and Elisabethgrad with constant success. In 1882, Mr. Brounoff went to St. Petersburg, where he received his scholarship at the Imperial Conservatory of Music, and graduated in 1891, receiving a diploma from Rubinstein. He also studied with Jogansen (harmony), Solovieff (composition), Rimsky-Korsakoff (composition and instrumentation), Rubinstein (conducting), Everardi, Gabel and Repetto (singing), and appeared in opera, concerts, and published many compositions which are very popular in Russia.
74Mr. Brounoff came to America July 23, 1891, and after visiting in La Porte, Ind., where he gave his first concert in the United States, he settled in New Haven, Conn., for ten months. After that he moved to New York. The accompanying cut is from a photo by Aloys Werner.
76Mrs. Huff with Kansas City Philharmonic.
77Mrs. J. Otis Huff, of Kansas City, Mo., for the past two seasons a pupil of Francis Fischer Powers, scored a success with the Philharmonic Orchestra at Kansas City at a recent afternoon concert. Here are two press notices:
78Perhaps the greatest success that Mrs. J. Otis Huff, the contralto, has ever achieved in this city was on this occasion. She sang "Amour! Viens aider" and "Printemps que commence," from "Samson and Delilah," by Saint-Saëns, and had to give two encores before she would be excused. Her success was most emphatic. No soloist has ever been given a more complimentary reception on a Philharmonic occasion.—Kansas City Journal.
79There is no more worthy singer in Kansas City than Mrs. Huff. She was a surprise even to her friends. It had been said that her voice and vocal style had improved and the good report proved true. Mrs. Huff sang yesterday with new fervor and assurance. Her voice is better in quality, more resonant and mellow than of yore, and she uses it more easily. In a word, Mrs. Huff came forward almost as a new singer and one to please the most critical audience.—Kansas City Star.
