1CHICAGO, April 3, 1902.
3CHARLES W. CLARK will give a recital in Chicago next month.
5The exact date of this interesting event will shortly be announced by the Bureau of Fine Arts.
7SHERWOOD MUSIC SCHOOL BRANCH AT MILWAUKEE.
9Much interest is manifested on the part of Milwaukeeans in the establishment of a branch of the Sherwood Music School, of Chicago, in that city, and it is learned that the enterprise is being very cordially received. The school will be under the business direction of Charles R. Baker, who is manager of the Chicago institution, and the piano department will be supervised by Mr. Sherwood.
11In reference to this interesting departure the Sherwood Music School furnishes THE MUSICAL COURIER with the following details:
13During his regular visits to the Milwaukee branch Mr. Sherwood will conduct the interpretation and analysis class twice each month. These events will be for the benefit of young artists and advanced pupils who may be studying with other teachers. Any persons who wish to attend them, but who may not be prepared for active participation in the exercises, will be enrolled as listeners. Music to be examined and analyzed will be restricted to classical and standard compositions, and the playing will be supplied chiefly by class members, whose interpretation will be criticised.
15The vocal department of the school will embrace Mrs. Stacey Williams, Mrs. Charles Seeberg and Miss Iva Caryl Bigelow. Miss Georgia Kober, of the Chicago Sherwood School, will direct the piano department, spending certain days each week at Milwaukee.
17A faculty concert will be given at the Athenaeum early in May, when the institution heretofore known as the Chapke Music School will come into the Sherwood interests. A catalogue of the Milwaukee branch will be issued shortly.

The program will comprise works by Rubinstein and Mendelssohn; also a new and original concerto in three movements.
39HOLMES COWPER.
41Mr. Cowper's press notices continue to be very enthusiastic. Here are several from Omaha:
43Mr. Cowper has an ideal tenor voice, brilliant, pure in quality, telling in intensity and thoroughly well controlled. His style is so pure and free from mannerism and affectation that it appeals only to those who know the difference between art and its counterfeit. Mr. Cowper never appeals to the gallery, never mistakes exaggeration for intensity, and consequently appears more to the thinking part of an audience than to the hysterical. He is an artist. He is a thinker. He is well equipped and thoroughly musicianly. Mr. Cowper was most enthusiastically received and encored repeatedly.—Omaha Bee, March 16, 1902.
45Holmes Cowper attracted a large attendance, and he again demonstrated that he was the possessor of a lyric tenor voice of rare quality, which he handles with consummate art.—Excelsior, Omaha, March 22, 1902.
47Holmes Cowper, tenor, was the attraction. He sang a varied and attractive program, meeting with most hearty applause from friends, old and new, on this, his third visit to Omaha.—World-Herald, Omaha, March 16, 1902.
49RECITAL BY MISS JULIA GARFIELD.
51One of Chicago's most talented young violinists is Miss Julia Garfield, whose playing has brought forth many favorable comments this season. The program, which Miss Garfield presented in Kimball Hall on the evening of March 25, served to illustrate her natural gifts and excellent schooling. It was as follows, the assisting artists being John W. Lince, basso; Earl R. Drake, the eminent violinist, who on this occasion appeared also in the capacity of pianist, and Eloise Spoor Morgan, accompanist:
53Sonata, op. 13……………………………………………..Grieg
54Aria, Honor and Arms (Samson)………………………..Händel
55Fantaisie on Scotch Airs………………………………….Bruch
56Hullanzo Balaton…………………………………………..Hubay
57Forgotten…………………………………………………….Cowles
58Come to My Heart, Love…………………………………Jordan
59Polonaise in D major………………………………………Wieniawski
60Concerto for two violins…………………………………J. S. Bach
62The audience proved to be enthusiastic, and Miss Garfield was recalled a number of times.
64At his seventh popular concert in the Grand Opera House on Sunday, April 13, George Hamlin will repeat several of the Richard Strauss songs which he sang at his recent Strauss recital, also a group of popular ballads chosen from the various programs of his previous concerts. He will have the assistance of Emil Hofmann.
66"Chet More" writes: The Easter concert given by George Hamlin was one of the most successful of his series of Sunday afternoon concerts. The program was admirably selected for the occasion and aroused great enthusiasm. A chorus of sixteen voices selected from the Apollo Club sang several numbers under the direction of Harrison Wild. Their work was especially noticeable for its precision of attack and careful balance of parts. The tone also was in the main excellent.
68Mr. Hamlin was in good voice and sang the Granier "Hosanna" with great verve and enthusiasm. From the singer's standpoint this song is a particularly grateful one, although it is musically somewhat commonplace. Mr. Hamlin sang it in such admirable style, however, that it was one of the gems of the afternoon.
70Mrs. Hemis, who assisted, did some effective work in Roeder's "Easter Hymn." Her voice was particularly well suited to the song.
72Adah Bryant and Albert Boroff sang the incidental solos excellently, and Grace Ensminger gave a good obbligato to one of the numbers.
74APRIL 5, 1902.
76Miss Mary Wood Chase, assisted by Miss Louise St. John Westervelt, gave a musicale on Friday evening, April 4, at the Hyde Park Hotel. Miss Chase leaves on Wednesday, April 9, for recitals in Missouri.
78The Beethoven program interpreted on April 3 in Recital Hall of the Chicago Auditorium Conservatory by Robert W. Stevens, pianist; Errico Sansone, violinist, and Miss Ida Ringling, accompanist, was the third of a series of four historical recitals given by Mr. Stevens during the present season.
80THE APOLLO CLUB'S CONCERT.
82As previously stated, on Monday evening, April 28, the Apollo Club will give its fourth and last concert of the season in the Auditorium. Berlioz's "Damnation of Faust" will be presented on a large scale, befitting the requirements of the composition.
84The chorus has entered into the spirit of the music, and is prepared to give an exceptionally intelligent interpretation. The 500 voices will be augmented by singers from the best known Maennerchor society in Chicago, and invitations have been sent out to former Apollo Club members to aid in this concert. The response has been very gratifying, and it is stated that the largest chorus ever assembled in this city for "The Damnation of Faust," which has been given here at least six times, will assemble upon the Auditorium stage.
86The Chicago Orchestra will furnish accompaniment and play the incidental music. Soloists announced are Helen Buckley, as Margaret; George Hamlin, as Faust, and Charles W. Clark, in the role of Mephisto. Claude
