17F. X. Arens, conductor of the People's Symphony Concerts, which are being given this season at Cooper Union Hall, with pronounced success, has rearranged the program for the next concert of the series, which is to take place on Friday evening, February 21. Mr. Arens' admirable orchestra of fifty performers will play the E flat Symphony of Mozart, the "Peer Gynt" Suite of Grieg and the "Lohengrin" Vorspiel and "Tannhäuser" March of Wagner. Miss Susan Metcalfe, soprano, will sing an aria from Weber's "Der Freischütz" and songs by Brahms and Purcell. It should be remembered that these very attractive concerts are offered at nominal prices of admission, and are thus performing an important educational mission in this city.
19AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF APPLIED MUSIC.
21The studios of the American Institute of Applied Music were filled to overflowing on the evening of Monday, February 10, when a most enjoyable recital was given by Miss Julia S. Gilman, pianist, assisted by Mrs. Myrta French Kürsteiner, soprano. Miss Gilman is a pianist with much breadth of tone and fine artistic perceptions. Mrs. Kürsteiner's voice is sweet, sympathetic and powerful, and her accompaniments were played in a very artistic manner by William Fairchild Sherman. The program was as follows:
22Piano solo, Aus Holberg's Zeit……………………………Grieg
23Songs—
24My Love's an Arbutus………………………………………Stanford
25The Irish Mother's Lament……………………………….Barton
26Chanson d'Avril……………………………………………..Goring Thomas
27Piano solo, Fantaisie, C minor……………………………Mozart
28Songs—
29Spring………………………………………………………..Tosti
30Chanson Provençale………………………………………Dell' Acqua
31Piano solo—
32Novelette…………………………………………………….MacDowell
33Autumn………………………………………………………Moszkowski
34Songs—
35A Norwegian Song……………………………………….Henri Logé
36Norwegian Echo Song…………………………………..Robert Thrane
37Piano solo—
38Nocturne C sharp………………………………………..Chopin
39Polonaise A flat…………………………………………..Chopin
40A delightful recital by the little students of the Synthetic method took place Saturday, February 8, in the small banquet room of Carnegie Hall, Miss Chittenden, as usual, presiding. The hall was full of little people and their friends, and it would be difficult to say which derived most pleasure, the children or the adults. By customizing pupils from their earliest years to play for their friends, the teachers aim at preventing much unnecessary nervousness in the future, besides giving a strong incentive toward present work. That they succeed in these objects is demonstrated at every one of the recitals, for the playing shows the result not only of excellent tuition but of earnest application on the part of the children themselves.

49Henry Pierson.
51The following cablegram was received at this office on Monday noon:
53MUSICAL COURIER OFFICE,
54BERLIN, February 17, 1902.
56Henry Pierson, opera director, is dead.
58Henry Pierson was the director of the Prussian Royal Intendency of opera and theatres at Berlin, having occupied that prominent position, filled by him with rare intelligence and executive ability, since 1889. He was somewhat over 50 years or 51 years old, and will be remembered in this city as the husband of Bertha Pierson, the opera soprano, with whom he resided here during her engagements in the Thomas opera era at the Academy and under the Seidl-Stanton regime at the Metropolitan in 1884 to 1887. She subsequently sang at the opera in Berlin until her retirement five years ago.
60Henry Pierson was well beloved because of his genial, kind and courteous manner and his sympathetic temperament. Our Mr. Floersheim, who left for Europe yesterday, and who was one of Pierson's nearest friends, informed us that Pierson's heart had been out of order for some time, and that his death was not entirely unexpected.
62S. N. Griswold.
64S. N. Griswold, who for a quarter of a century conducted the New York Conservatory of Music on Fourteenth street and subsequently on Eighteenth street, died on Monday, February 17, after two weeks' illness, aged seventy-five years. Mr. Griswold was an unobtrusive but steady worker, who doing all this time applied himself to the detailed management of the institution. He was married and separated from his wife, being one of those many New York instances of men of retired disposition who have no known relatives and but few, if any, associates. Some distant relatives reside in Connecticut, and Mr. Griswold used to pass his summers at Norwalk.
66Charles W. Tyler.
68Charles W. Tyler, an old musician and a descendant from prominent New England families, died last Saturday night at his home, 562 Third avenue. His mother was a cousin of Daniel Webster. Mr. Tyler is survived by his widow and one son.
