37Miss Rose Cecilia Shay has been selected by the manager to be the prima donna of a new summer opera company which will appear at the Grand Opera House in New York and in Boston for a twelve weeks' season. Among the operas to be sung are "Faust," "Rigoletto," "Mignon," "The Bohemian Girl" and several others of the same character. Miss Shay, no longer being hampered by bad management, may meet with greater success in her attempt at grand opera in English than heretofore, and her Cincinnati friends will doubtless watch the new venture with interest.
39Many of the distinguished critics of the country are expected to be present at the May festival.

43Nahan Franko.
45NAHAN FRANKO, the well-known concertmeister, of the Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra, in this city, left here for Europe on the Graf Walderssee, with his wife, on May 20, to be gone until November. He will conduct orchestra concerts in several places in Germany.
47His former engagement at the West End Hotel, Long Branch, for the summer could not be accepted this year, as the terms insisted upon the playing of dance music every night in the hotel parlor for the purpose of giving the guests and their little children a chance to dance. Mr. Franko could not accept any such engagement, and this summer Mr. Henry Schmitt will have charge of the music and furnish the requisite dance music there, thus preparing himself and his players for the coming season of the Philharmonic Society. One of the best means of securing a proper bowing and rhythm, particularly for the modern works of Richard Strauss, &c., is to play dance music during the summer.
49NOTICE.—High class bands or orchestras en route by Pittsburg desired for sacred music at the great popular Sunday evening gatherings in leading parks, in charge of Rev. S. Edward Young, chaplain, Actors' Church Alliance, Pittsburg, Pa.
51A recital by Miss Annie F. Hardy, pupil of the Faelten Pianoforte School, assisted by ensemble classes, will be given at Huntington Chambers Hall, Wednesday evening, May 14.
53At the New England Conservatory of Music, Friday afternoon, May 9, at 2:30 o'clock, a recital was given by the orchestral class, G. W. Chadwick conductor, and advanced students.
55At the annual meeting of the Cecilia Society, held in Pilgrim Hall, Thursday evening, May 8, officers and directors for the ensuing year were elected: President, Arthur Foote; vice-president, Francis A. Shove; clerk, Edward A. Studley, Jr.; treasurer, Edward C. Burrage; librarian, George H. Rose; directors, Henry C. Baldwin, Arthur Astor Carey, George O. G. Coale, Francis H. Peabody; trustee for two years, William P. Blake.
57The music department of Harvard College has accepted plans for the erection of a music building, which will probably be erected on Holmes Field and will cost $75,000. It will be built of red brick, with white limestone trimmings. On the ground floor there will be classrooms and studies, and on the second floor will be the library, practice rooms and a large concert hall equipped with a pipe organ. J. H. Choate, '97; W. K. Brice, '96, and D. H. Morris, '96, have been appointed a committee to collect the necessary money for the erection of the building.
59The Pop concerts will commence in Symphony Hall Monday evening, with Max Zach as conductor. For the opening concert an interesting program has been arranged.
61The second in the series of song and opera recitals which are being given in Huntington Chambers Hall by pupils of the Emma Howe Vocal School took place on Thursday evening. The program was divided into three parts. The first was a song recital by Miss Leveroni, and this was followed by Act 2, scene 1, of Verdi's "Aida," the title role being assumed by Mrs. Almy and Amneris by Miss Wheeler. The last act of Vaccai's "Romeo and Juliet" was given with Miss Leveroni as Romeo and Miss Maud Abramson as Juliet.
63Mme. de Berg Lofgren will give a pupils' recital in Huntington Chambers Hall on Tuesday evening, May 27.
65The Thursday Morning Club enjoyed a luncheon at Hotel Somerset on Saturday, April 26, after which a song recital was given by Francis Rogers. Mrs. Wilkinson was the accompanist.

Louis Arthur Russell conducted, as usual, and the concert must be set down as one of the most successful in the history of the society. Mr. Russell has been appointed organist and director of Peddie Memorial Church, in place of the Messrs. Sauvage, director and organist, respectively.
73Boston Music Notes.
75BOSTON, Mass., May 10, 1902.
77MISS PRISCILLA WHITE, who has charge of the department of music at Lasell, has a number of promising pupils, not only there, but at the Pierce Building, where she has one of the handsomest studios of the city. Miss Marion Bate, whose voice is of rare beauty, and whose vocal studies have been entirely under Miss White, gave a recital at Lasell recently, making a great success. The audience really went wild with enthusiasm and unanimously exclaimed over the beauty and range of her voice, the wonderful dramatic and emotional given by the requirements of the different numbers, as well as the power of original conception which she evinced. Miss Bate undoubtedly has a brilliant future, for her voice possesses so many charming qualities, which, added to an artistic temperament, will go far to place her among the professional singers who make successes.
79Another pupil of Miss White's, Lester Kyle, made a decided success in the Radcliffe operetta given at the Tremont Theatre for the benefit of the Crippled Children's Home. The song, "The Scarlet Cap," was interpolated for Miss Kyle and proved all that was expected of it. Miss Kyle is the leading soprano at the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Somerville.
81Among the pupils who have positions in church choirs is Miss Agnes Flaherty, who has just been engaged by St. John's Episcopal Church at Newtonville. Miss Emma Mae Chisholm, who possesses a beautiful contralto voice, sings in Methodist churches all through New England; sometimes in two different churches on a Sunday. Her singing is considered a great power, and she is literally in constant demand.
83It is probable that Miss White will give a recital with her pupils early in the coming season, when some of these promising young women will be heard.
85Among the soloists who have been engaged for the coming music festival at Concord, N. H., are Mrs. Caroline Shepard and Arthur Beresford, of this city.
87Miss Luella Fry, pupil of H. Carleton Slack, sang recently at Highlands Club house. Her numbers were Cavatina from "Queen of Sheba" (Plus grand dans son obscurite), Gounod, and "On the Wild Rose Tree." Rotoli. Miss Fry is a resident of West Roxbury, and her singing, to those not familiar with the sweetness of her voice, was a delightful surprise, as they were hardly prepared for the great triumph she made. Her voice is one of peculiar sweetness and of great promise. The Cavatina she rendered with marked ease that would have done credit to an artist of much wider experience.
89Herbert Johnson is to be the tenor for the ensuing year at King's Chapel, under the direction of B. J. Lang.
91Carl Sobeski announces a students' recital at Huntington Chambers Hall for the 20th.
