1San Francisco, April 15, 1901.
3The social event of the week was the Charity concert given on Tuesday evening at the Hopkins Institute. The program given below was played and sung by well-known society people, amateurs who have made a serious study of music. Easily first was Mrs. Gustavus Arnold, whose musical studies have been conducted under the best European masters and whose residence in Berlin for some years brought her in social relations with all the leading musicians and composers of the day. Her voice is a full dramatic soprano, which shows not only the splendid training she has received, but also the musical spirit and feeling of the woman herself, the musical temperament without which a voice fails in its appeal to the feelings. Mrs. Arnold sang the Bruch number in a broad way that made it the most important number of the program, and her reading of the little song given as an encore was full of sentiment and feeling. Mrs. Arnold's accompaniments were played by Fred Maurer, Miss Hulda Anderson being the accompanist for the other numbers.
5Liza Lehmann's "In a Persian Garden" is comparatively a novelty in this city, the entire cycle having been given only by pupils of H. B. Pasmore, it is understood. Owing to the sudden illness of Edgar Mills, the tenor part was taken by Mr. Bakewell at very short notice.
7A list of those present would include the leaders of society in this city, who patronized the concert to the extent of nearly filling the Searles Gallery. A picturesque feature was sailors from the Seamen's Institute as ushers. The charities benefited must have received a handsome sum of money from the sale of tickets, judging from the large audience.

33An art exhibition conducted by the California Club is now being held at the Mechanics' Pavilion, and concerts afternoon and evening are given by local musicians. The music is of a high order and attracts attention in spite of the interesting exhibition of "Arts and Industries." Miss Florence Doane, pupil of Mrs. Marriner-Campbell, was one of the soloists last week.

Inigo, pianist, and Miss Ada Rhodes, organist.
47Roscoe Warren Lucy was the accompanist at the Saturday evening concert of the California Club exhibition.
49Letters recently received in this city give glowing accounts of the success of Alma Stencil, a young San Francisco girl who received her musical education from Hugo Mansfeldt. About six months Miss Stencil, who is only thirteen years of age, went abroad, and during the month of January appeared before the Imperial family of Austria at Vienna. The critics were unanimous in their praise, the universal verdict being that in the whole musical history of Vienna no such playing had been heard from a child of her age. Miss Stencil is now in Berlin studying with her former teacher, Hugo Mansfeldt, who has recently located in that city. It is expected that next winter a concert tour will be undertaken by this gifted child.

53A recital will be given at Hearst Hall, Berkeley, on Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Madeleine Pack Taylor playing an exceedingly good program.

She has studied with Barth and Moszkowski, and is also a graduate of the Royal Conservatory at Dresden.
55Bert Georges, who is at home from New York, where he has been studying with Bjorksten, will give a recital in Sherman, Clay & Co.'s Hall some time during May, when Miss Grace Marshall, a piano pupil of Miss Elizabeth Westgate, will also appear.
57On Saturday evening Mrs. A. Widmer Jones played the score of an opera she has just completed before a few friends at the residence of Mrs. Oscar Mansfeldt. The book of the opera is very clever; the lyrics are bright, tuneful and musical. As yet the opera is unnamed, but that is a lack soon supplied. Some professional singers who have heard the music and read the book predict great success for the work.
59Richard Jose Ferrer, violinist, made his first appearance in Oakland on Tuesday evening. Mr. Ferrer has just returned from Europe where he has been studying in Brussels with well-known masters.

71Miss Westgate's beautiful rooms were crowded with an audience that was delighted with the manner and matter of the program. The work of both Miss Westgate and Mr. Stewart is so well known and of such a high order that one is assured, whenever their names appear, of hearing a
