10PADEREWSKI will give two recitals at the Auditorium next month. The dates announced are March 19 and 22.
12Sousa and his band will be the attraction at the Auditorium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, March 7, 8 and 9, and on the afternoon of March 8.
14On Friday evening, February 28, a musicale will be given at the Hyde Park Hotel by Umberto Beduschi, tenor, assisted by Errico Sansone, violinist, and L. Verde, pianist. Messrs. Beduschi and Sansone are prominent members of the Chicago Auditorium Conservatory faculty, of which Frederic Grant Gleason is the director.
16The Chicago Orchestra's eighteenth program on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening, February 28 and March 1, has been specially arranged to interest children. Emil Bare, violinist, will play Wieniawski's "Faust" Fantasia.
18On March 2, at his fourth Sunday concert in the Grand Opera House, George Hamlin will introduce two new Irish songs. Charles W. Clark, the eminent baritone, who is shortly to leave for Europe, will make his farewell appearance in Chicago on this occasion, and W. C. E. Secboeck will contribute several original compositions which are novelties.
20Fritz Kreisler, the violinist, pays his second visit of the season to Chicago next week, when he will be heard in Music Hall, Fine Arts Building, on the evenings of March 4 and 7.
22George Hamlin's concert at the Grand Opera House next Sunday afternoon, March 2, will not be without a rival. On the same day Jean Gérardy, the 'cellist, is to play at the Music Hall, Fine Arts Building.
24Kubelik's recitals here on March 13 and 15 are looked upon as farewell events, for it is understood that the brilliant young violinist will sail for Europe on the 25th of the same month.
26During the first week of grand opera, beginning at the Auditorium on March 31, "Tosca" and "Manru" will be included in the list of productions. The greater part of the second week, April 7 to 12, will be given over to Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelungs."
28Essentially artistic will be the Spiering Quartet's concert on the afternoon of March 18 at the Fine Arts Building Music Hall. Ludwig Breitner is to assist.
30There will be no orchestral concerts here next week, as the Chicago Orchestra will be touring.
32The fifth program of its historical series will be given by the Chicago Orchestra on March 14 and 15, with Ludwig Breitner as soloist.
34Ada Adams, the gifted soprano, who recently gave a successful recital at the Music Hall, Fine Arts Building, under the Bureau of Fine Arts' direction, sang on Thursday, February 20, at Mrs. Strobel's musicale, an interesting social event.
36On April 12 Maurice Aronson will lecture before the music study class of the Chicago Woman's Club on "Russian Music." The lecture will be illustrated at the piano. Mr. Aronson is eminently fitted to lecture on the subject referred to, for he lived in St. Petersburg for several years and has given much attention to the works of Russian composers.
38A program of choruses and part songs, under the direction of Mr. Lutkin, will be the attraction at the Evanston Musical Club's third concert on Thursday evening, February 27, in the First Methodist Church, Evanston. Dvorák's "Te Deum," op. 103; "Songs from the Bohemian Highlands," Edward Elgar, and Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer" are to be sung. Soloists will include Mrs. Corinne Moore Lawson and Gustav Holmquist.
40Bruno Steindel, the well-known 'cellist, who has been filling important engagements in the West under prominent managers, including Charles R. Baker and also Duns- tan Collins, recently played here, and, as a result, inspired two Chicago dailies as follows:
42One of the finest entertainments of a rather brilliant musical season was the recital at Music Hall last evening given by Bruno Steindel, the 'cello virtuoso of the Chicago Orchestra. Although a frequent performer at private musicles, the public seldom has an opportunity to hear the genial musician, aside from his work with the orchestra. The recital opened with the Sonate, op. 32, for piano and 'cello, by Saint-Saëns, which gave Mrs. Steindel, at the piano, an opportunity to display her ability, the work for the latter instrument being the more prominent. Mrs. Steindel's interpretation proved so thoroughly musically that one regretted the omission of her name as a soloist of the evening. Equipped with an excellent technic, a firm, sure touch and intelligent musical conception, her work calls forth more than passing attention. Mr. Steindel's virtuosity was most in evidence in the Concerto, op. 104, by Dvorák, a colorful work, full of technical difficulties, and well adapted to Mr. Steindel's style.
44The first group of four short, melodious compositions, however, was more appreciated by the audience, containing as it did Bach's air for the G string, Beethoven's "Adelaide" and Schumann's "Abendlied," with an adagio by Mozart that equaled any of the four favorites for pure melody. They were rendered with such delicacy and sincerity of feeling that Mr. Steindel's jovial countenance, which has a habit of beaming down upon his numerous friends as they are discovered among the audience, assumed at once a gravity which was not needed to convey responsive sentiment to his hearers.—Chicago News, February 12, 1902.
46Owing to the exigencies of newspaper space last Wednesday, reference in these columns to the recital given the evening before in Music Hall by Bruno Steindel was impossible. The appearances of the eminent resident 'cellist are so rare in recital that they should not go unrecorded, even though comment, save to commend, is un necessary. Mr. Steindel has demonstrated repeatedly at the Chicago Orchestra concerts and on other occasions his high worth, both as performer and interpreter, and the listening to him last week for some two hours was therefore but a prolonging and enhancing of a pleasure enjoyed in smaller measure before. He was in the best of condition, technically and musically, and, assisted by the exceptionally satisfactory accompanying of Mrs. Steindel, gave Saint-Saëns' Sonata, op. 32; Dvorák's Concerto, op. 104, and two groups of smaller selections with a tonal loveliness, a technical purity and neatness and an interpretative completeness that made the evening memorable as one of high musical enjoyment.—Chicago Tribune, February 16, 1902.
48Edwin T. Johnson has given to the First Presbyterian Church, of Oak Park, $5,000 to pay for the new organ, as a memorial to Elizabeth Eastman Johnson, his wife, whose death occurred during the present month.
50MAURICE ARONSON'S PUPILS.
52Charles I. Newberry, who has just completed a three years' course of piano study with Maurice Aronson, was formerly a pupil of the Chicago Musical College. Mr. Newberry is one of the most accomplished among the younger pianists of the State. He now teaches a class of thirty pupils, and during the past two seasons he was one of Mr. Aronson's assistants.
54Miss Evelyn Cady, a pupil of Maurice Aronson, was the soloist at a concert given before the members of the Woodlawn Park Club, of Chicago, on Saturday, February 22. Miss Cady played two groups of compositions by Sinding, Tschaikowsky, Chopin and Schubert. This young musician is meeting with much success as a teacher of the piano.
56Maurice Aronson received recently an urgent letter from Tacoma, Wash., asking whether he could accept two pupils for a prolonged term of study. The reply was requested by wire. On Saturday last he received a telegram stating that the two young ladies had started for Chicago and would report at the studio immediately upon their arrival. This is a practical illustration of Mr. Aronson's ever increasing popularity as an instructor of the advanced grades of piano playing.
58On March 11 the new comic opera, "The Sultan of Sulu," will be introduced to the public at Studebaker Hall, Fine Arts Building, and George Ade, the author, once more will be immortalized.
