5Miss Clara Munger's pupil, Edna Floyd, has been singing with great success all the season in "Princess Chic." It is one of the possibilities that Miss Floyd will be "starred" next year.
7Hans Schneider delivered a lecture on the story of the "Holy Grail" and Wagner's "Parsifal," illustrated at the piano, before the Orpheus at North Attleboro, Mass., on the 14th. So successful was the lecture and so pleased the club that Mr. Schneider has been engaged to give four lectures on the "Nibelungen" next season.
9On Wednesday evening, April 9, Miss Louise Ainsworth, a young and prominent contralto pupil of Etta Edwards, will give a song recital in Steinert Hall. She will be assisted by Jacques Hoffmann, violinist, and Carl Barth, 'cellist.
11The Faelten Pianoforte School gave an entertainment in Faelten Hall, 30 Huntington avenue, last Monday evening, complimentary to the Cambridge Art Circle.

Wilmot Lemont, Frank Luker and Miss Alberta V. Munro, with Carl Faelten at the second piano.
13Miss Elsa Heindl, whose singing with the Euterpean Club at Hyde Park and with the Whitinsville Musical Association at Whitinsville evoked so much applause, is a pupil of Madame Franklin-Salisbury. At the Whitinsville concert excerpts from the opera of "Carmen" were given. The critics said Miss Heindl's voice was "of exceptionally wide range, and that her execution was almost perfect." Miss Heindl has appeared at a number of concerts during the winter.
15A recital by Miss Alice E. Parker, assisted by ensemble classes of the Faelten Pianoforte School, will be given at Huntington Chambers Hall March 26.

19The summer session for music teachers under the auspices of the Faelten Pianoforte School will be continued this season on the same general plan that proved so successful last year. It will be in charge of Mr. Granberry. The subjects taken up will be fundamental training, sight playing, technic, ear training, memorizing, management of classes, conduct of private lessons and normal training. The most approved modes of using the books of the Faelten Fundamental Training Series will be treated as comprehensively as is possible in the limited time. The course consists of ten private hour lessons. The lessons may be taken during June, July and August, and may be extended over a period of from two to ten weeks to suit the individual convenience. A greater number of lessons may be arranged for if desired.
21The board of directors of the Alumni Association of the Conservatory of Music has voted to present to the institution a marble and bronze drinking fountain of artistic design, to be placed in the central corridor of the new building on Huntington avenue, as a token of the loyalty and good will of the members of the association toward their alma mater.
23The cost of the intended gift will be about $600, and the amount is being raised by voluntary contributions of the members of the association. The board of directors has already secured $150 of this amount in various sums ranging from $1 to $25.
25Advance orders are being received for the concert at Symphony Hall on the afternoon of March 29, when Josef Hofmann, Fritz Kreisler and Jean Gérardy are to appear for the first time in this country in a single program.
27A large number of music lovers assembled Wednesday evening in Huntington Chambers Hall at Miss Minna Gallagher's piano recital. Her artistic interpretation of the various selections was much commented upon and Miss Gallagher was liberally applauded.
29Miss Gallagher was presented with several bouquets, one being from the graduating class of the Faelten Pianoforte School.
31Miss Gallagher's repertory included Weber's A flat major Sonata; Valse Caprice in A flat major, by Schubert; Liszt: "Cantique d'Amour" in E major, by Liszt; "Eolus," by Gernsheim; Berceuse, by Chopin, and Concert Study, by Martucci.
33Félix Fox, who is to give his third piano recital of the season in Steinert Hall on Thursday afternoon, April 17, will play MacDowell's "Sonata Tragica." The first Paris performance of this American work was by Mr. Fox at a concert by the Société d'Art in the Salle Pleyel, in March, 1897, and repeated in a recital by Mr. Fox in the Salle Erard in May of the same year.
35At the New England Conservatory of Music on Wednesday evening, March 26, a recital will be given by the students of the advanced classes.
37Miss Ada Knowlton, formerly of Boston, but now residing in New York, gave a piano recital in that city on Saturday, March 22, assisted by Emil Schenck, 'cellist, and Georg Falkenstein, accompanist.
39Mrs. Bloomfield-Zeisler.
41Mrs. FANNIE BLOOMFIELD-ZEISLER, the celebrated pianist, had immense success last week in Philadelphia with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Fritz Scheel director, and was called out seven times after her concerto. She leaves the East soon for California, where she is to play first in Sacramento and then in San Francisco, and on her way to the Coast she has engagements in Omaha, Kansas City and Topeka.
43Musical At Home.—The sixth monthly musicale took place at the studio of Chas. Konedski Davis, the violinist-composer, on Wednesday last.
45An interesting program was rendered and thoroughly enjoyed by the guests. Among others present were Mrs. I. King, Mrs. Olivia Sanger Hall, Miss M. Andrews, Miss F. Weil, and Messrs. Jones, Fisher, Weil and Hirschfeld. Handel's Trio, for three violins, was rendered very acceptably by pupils of Mr. Davis, and the flute solo by E. Hirschfeld was also much enjoyed. He played Mr. Davis' latest song, "Bring Back Those Summer Days," which is well adapted to the flute.
47A novel feature of the evening was the toast given by Mrs. King to the waltz "Rozalia," which had just been composed that evening by Mr. Davis. It was heartily indorsed by all present.
49The last of these musicales will be held at 115 West Eighty-ninth street on Wednesday, April 2.
51Max Bendheim.—Miss Clara Weinstein, the soprano, who is a pupil of Max Bendheim, will be the soloist at the Liederkranz concert on April 20. Miss Weinstein will sing the aria, "Zefiretti," from Mozart's opera, "Idomeneo." She will also sing the solo in the finale of "Loreley," which is to be sung by the club. Miss Weinstein is a singer of great promise, and has been unusually successful on the concert stage.
53Of a recent appearance in this city the New York Staats-Zeitung spoke as follows:
54Miss Clara Weinstein, pupil of Max Bendheim, sang Schubert's "Du bist die Ruh" and Raff's "Bei Dir," and received great applause. The young singer has a bell-like, beautifully trained soprano voice. There is no doubt Miss Weinstein will soon be one of the finest singers on the concert stage.
