1Dalton is the most matured, her phrasing is exceptionally clear and she has temperament.
3Beginning April 1 Sidney Durst will enter upon his duties as organist at the Church of Our Saviour, of Mt. Auburn. The pastor, Z. B. Phillips, being musically inclined, is enthusiastic on the subject of the best music for church services, and by taking a personal interest in the matter is doing much toward creating a high standard along this line.
5Otto Nicolai's opera, "The Merry Wives of Windsor," will be given its first performance by the College School of Opera, under the direction of Frank van der Stucken, April 1 and 2. Of the various features of the performance some may be noted, namely that, beside the principal singers, there will be a mixed chorus of seventy-five voices and a ballet of twenty school children, who are to represent the fairies in the last act. Those who take the character parts are Edward Hartmann, M. C. de Bruin, J. Wesley Hubbell, George Baer, Carl Gantvoort, Jos. Zeint, Therese Abraham, Elsie Louise Bernard and Kathryn Gibbons. Mr. van der Stucken brought the operatic score from Europe, and a translation was made here. The opera consists of three acts and seven scenes.
7Edmund A. Jahn, baritone, has several concert engagements to fill in the near future. Dayton, Ohio, is one of the objective points, and there he will sing in Gounod's "Redemption," which is to be given by the Philharmonic Society. After that he goes to Ripley, Ohio, and from there to Piqua, where he will appear in connection with the orchestra, taking the role of Samson.
9The Pergolesi "Stabat Mater" for women's voices, solo and chorus will be given at St. Francis de Sales Church to-morrow at a special Lenten service, to be held at 7:30 p. m. The church choir will be assisted by Miss Henrietta Porter, harpist, and Le Roy McMackin, violinist, during the Benediction service, at which Martin Dumler will sing Gounod's "O Divine Redeemer." The soloists for the "Stabat Mater" will be Mrs. Julius Uhllein, soprano; Miss Gertrude Voss, mezzo soprano, and Miss Kate Schildmeyer, contralto. The accompaniment of this work, which was originally written for strings, has been arranged for the organ by Arthur J. H. Barbour, organist of the church.

40Heinrich Zollner will, after Easter, become teacher of composition at the Royal Conservatory of Leipsic, and Stephen Krehl teacher of theory after Michaelmas.
42Meyer-Olbersleben succeeds Mahler-Hartung as director of the Music School of Weimar.
44A tablet has been placed on the house in Vienna in which Richard Wagner lived during the year 1863-4.
46Minnie Tracey completed a very successful concert tour in Norway and Sweden and sang in the classical concerts in Paris, and has been engaged to appear at the Leipsic Gewandhaus.
48Hermann Ritter, the resuscitator of the viola alta, introduced that instrument to the Parisians at the Lamoureux concert in Berlioz's "Herald Symphony" with great success.
50Father Hartmann, whose oratorio "Franciscus" was lately performed at Vienna, is working on another oratorio, "The Last Supper."
52Siegmund von Hausegger took his farewell of the Kaim Orchestra March 18, and will henceforth devote himself to composition.
54Heinrich Bellerman, the author of a "Handbook to Counterpoint," celebrated his seventieth birthday on March 10. He has for nearly fifty years been teacher of singing at the Berlin Gymnasium and professor of music at the university. As a composer and as a theorist he was strongly conservative.
56August Göllrich has addressed to all friends of the late Anton Bruckner an appeal for information respecting that composer. Göllrich, well known as a biographer of Liszt, was selected by Bruckner to write his life, and has been duly authorized by Bruckner's heirs to do so. He therefore requests from all who have reminiscences or memorials of Bruckner, such as letters, manuscripts, pictures, pamphlets, &c., to send them to him at Linz, in Upper Austria.
58It was lately stated that Riemann's Lexicon was in error when it said that Emil Sauret was a pupil of De Beriot, as Sauret was born in 1852, the year when De Beriot became totally blind. Sauret himself, however, writes that he was De Beriot's last pupil, not in Brussels but in Paris. De Beriot took great interest in the talented boy, and gave him what instruction he could in his condition. At the same time Vieuxtemps undertook the task of teaching him bowing, position and the like which a blind man could not do.
60ALICE SOVEREIGN ENGAGED.—The prominent Brooklyn alto has been engaged as solo alto at the Elmira May festival, also to take Miss Clary's place in the afternoon and evening services this Good Friday at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The first Sabbath evening she is free she will be soloist at Roseville Avenue Presbyterian Church.
