1BUFFALO people, in common with the rest of the world, have been too much interested in family reunions and balls to give or listen to many musicals during the gay holiday season, but December 28 Charles McCreary, the well-known baritone of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, gave a most delightful song recital at his home, East Aurora. A fine program of songs by Schubert, Schumann, Gatty, Mattei, Wilson, White, Händel, Allitsen, Aylward, and old English, Scotch and Welsh ballads, was given in an artistic manner, showing to advantage Mr. McCreary's powerful, well trained voice.
3Mrs. Henry Dunman acted as accompanist, and the Buffalo Chamber Music Club gave several pleasing trios and 'cello and violin solos.
5Mrs. Clara Barnes Holmes, contralto, and Raymond O. Riester, baritone, have resigned from the choir of Temple Beth Zion. Mrs. Holmes will be succeeded by Mrs. Laura D. Minehan, and William J. Sheehan will fill the vacancy created by Mr. Riester's withdrawal.
7One of the enjoyable students' concerts of the season was given recently by the advanced pupils of Miss Mathilda Raab at her studio in Mariner street. The program was admirably arranged and each number was most satisfactorily presented. Among the especially pleasing features were Chopin's "Fantasie Impromptu," which was played by Miss Bessie Stern; Gabriel Marie's "Serenade Badine," by Miss Jeanette Stern; the second and third movements from Mozart's Sonata in D major, by Miss Anna Pearl Smith and Miss Raab, and Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata, by Miss Jean Bissell. The other pupils who took part with credit to themselves and their instructor were Miss Emma Abrams, Miss Cordes, Mrs. Fredericks, Miss M. Heiser, Miss Haupt, Miss Ethel Wegefarth and Dayton Wegefarth.
9Sunday evening, January 6, the fourth and best concert of the series under Mr. Hartfuer's direction was given at the beautiful new Teck Theatre. The most pleasing numbers of the following program were the "Mignon" Overture, where the strings did some very nice work; the "Lohengrin Fantaisie," in which Mr. Fricke's 'cello solo was given with a most beautiful tone quality and artistic interpretation, and the Bach Fantaisie, new to Buffalo:

27Raymond Riester, baritone, was the soloist. His voice is mellow and sweet and his readings always musical.
29A large audience assembled at Catholic Institute Hall Wednesday evening last to listen to the second of Mr. Sheehan's song recitals. A varied program of classic and modern vocal numbers by Schubert, Schumann, Rubinstein, Wagner, Haydn, Buck, MacDowell, Shelley, Tschaikowsky, Bullard, Mattei and Adams thoroughly illustrated Mr. Sheehan's method and showed his wide range of voice. The gems of the evening were the recitative and aria, "Rolling in Foaming Billows," from "The Creation," and "The Asra," by Rubinstein. Joseph A. Ball, violinist, assisted, giving several selections with beautiful tone, fine technic and deep feeling. Mrs. Nellie M. Gould accompanied.
31At the last monthly recital given by the junior pupils of Miss Fennella G. Crowell, at her studio, 411 Connecticut street, a pleasing program of piano numbers was given by Maude and Ruby Smith, Mattie Bolt, Stella Bricka, Laura Du Pray, Harriet Baker, Edith Burber, Emma Davis, Sara Pratt, Lottie Templeton, Alice Sully, Ruth Beeman, Anna Frank, Wilhelmina Robinson, Matthew Jones, William Schwarz and Miss Crowell.
33A large audience of musical and society people assembled at the Twentieth Century Club Wednesday evening to listen to the first subscription concert given by the Buffalo Trio Club, composed of Mr. Zielinski, pianist; George Goold, violinist, and T. Amesbury Gould, 'cellist. This combination, always noted for its unacknowledged selections, gave several brilliant trios by Slavonic composers. Robert Burton, tenor, assisted. He was in splendid voice and gave his selections in his usual artistic manner.
35Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dunman gave their second "at home," in their beautiful new studio in the Palace Arcade, last Thursday evening. A short program of vocal selections was given by students.
37The fourth monthly musical of the Ionian Club was given at the studio of Mrs. Gould, Ashland avenue, Friday evening. Piano, vocal, violin and 'cello selections were given by Mrs. Sackett, Mrs. Knighton, Miss Hameister, Miss Davidson, Miss Parkinson, Miss Smith, Miss Moseley, Miss Archer, Miss McCormick, Miss Leslie, Mrs. Browning, Mr. Ball, Mr. Koon and Mr. Knight.

41Leonora Jackson at Augusta, Ga.
43LEONORA JACKSON continues to meet with eminent success in the South. Her latest conquest was Augusta, where she and her company appeared under the auspices of the Verdery Music Club:
45No musical event of the season has been so distinct a success as the concert given last evening by Miss Leonora Jackson, Miss Elburna and Selden Pratt. Walker's Hall was well filled with a very cultured audience, and the frequent applause attested their appreciation of this splendid performance.
47Miss Jackson charmed her audience. Her playing is poetic to the extreme; her tone of entrancing sweetness. Each phase of her rendition exposed new beauties, and her playing last evening fully sustained her reputation as one of the most celebrated violinists in the world.
49She was encored again and again, and received a profusion of exquisite flowers.
51The singing of Miss Josephine Elburna was indeed exquisite, and won the admiration and wonder of the entire audience. Her voice is a rich lyric soprano of wonderful range, power and sweetness and her singing last evening was an unqualified triumph.
53It is seldom that Augustans have the privilege of hearing such celebrated artists, and the musical public are indebted to the Verdery Music Club for a most charming musical treat.—Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, January 15.
