1MISS FRIEDA KOSS, a singer of deserved popularity here, gave a decidedly pleasing musical affair at Blanchard Hall last evening before a large audience of admiring friends. Miss Koss recently returned from the East, where she has spent the past year in study, and the latter fact doubtless lent additional interest to critical ears. That her opportunities have been made good use of was apparent in her interpretative work as well as in an added smoothness to her upper register. Her numbers included "In Questa Tomba," Beethoven; "My Tears Were Flowing," Paderewski; "Geheimes" and "Erlkoenig," Schubert; "Immer Leiser Wird Mein Schlummer" and "Auf dem Kirchhofe," Schubert; two interesting songs by Eugene Luening, and songs by Chadwick, Loewe, Bohm and Helen Hood. Miss Koss was assisted by Arnold Krauss, violinist, and Mrs. Augustine Berger Marigold, pianist, both of whose artistic work elicited enthusiastic appreciation. Miss Blanche Rogers, accompanist, supported Miss Koss in a wholly capable, intelligent and sympathetic manner.
3Little Olga Steeh, a ten-year old pupil of Thilo Becker, of this city, gave a piano recital at Blanchard Hall, Friday evening, the 16th inst., that merits more than passing consideration. The child's playing shows something more solid and valuable than unusual talent behind it. It evidences a healthy intelligence and a capacity for hard work that bespeaks much for her future. While the program contained some things beyond the capabilities of the little pianist, it was of excellent musical material and was unaffectedly and interestingly given.
5A number of our well-known musicians lent their talents to the programs at Simpson Auditorium during the recent biennial convention of the Women's Federated Clubs held there, but it might be questioned whether the experience proved flattering. Neither the burst of orchestral sounds nor the most thunderous volumes from the big organ could deter unnumbered ladies from indulging in animated 5 o'clock tea practices, with the result that the utmost resources for fortissimo effects in the music were unequal to the combat and the concord of loud sounds (with apologies to Shakespeare) were subdued into comparative nothingness.
7Among some of the pupils' recitals to be given in the near future at Blanchard Hall are recitals by the pupils of Mrs. McCown, May 27; Mrs. Jennie Kempton, May 30; Mrs. J. B. Hogaboom; Miss Jennie Winston, June 12; Miss Mary O Donoghue, June 14 (afternoon) and 18 (evening); Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, Mrs. Valentine director, June 24, and Mrs. L. Harvey, June 26. Mr. Becker's pupils will give a recital early in June.
9Organ pupils of Frank H. Colby will give a recital at Simpson Auditorium about June 18.
11Two prominent choirs of this city, those of the Church of the Unity and the Independent Church of Christ, have been giving a series of praise services during the season that have been attended by large audiences. The programs were for the most part made up of an excellent class of music and were well presented. However, the contributed offerings have been insufficient to cover the actual expenses involved in giving the services and the probability is that they will be discontinued.
13The finely illustrated lecture given during the biennial on "Wagner and the Bayreuth Festival," by Mrs. C. W. Rhodes, assisted by Alfred Glose at the piano, was of an excellence and sufficient interest to induce Managers Blanchard and Venter to arrange for a repetition of it at Blanchard Hall, where it was again given the following week.
15Harley Hamilton is about to leave for Buffalo, N. Y., to represent the local section of the American Confederation of Musicians. Mr. Hamilton, as director of the Los Angeles Theatre orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra, will doubtless turn to advantage opportunities to gather musical ideas for next season's use.
17C. S. De Lano's Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin Club, assisted by Edward Quinlan, baritone, will give a concert at Blanchard Hall, Friday evening, May 22. Mr. De Lano's programs are of a better class of music than is usually found in the repertories of similar organizations.
19Cowan's "Rose Maiden" will be given at Simpson Auditorium on the evening of May 30, under the direction of Fred A. Bacon. The chorus will be composed mostly of former and present pupils of Mr. Bacon. This will be the first choral concert of any pretense given here this season.
21Joseph Dupuy, who for a number of years past has had charge of the music at St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, has resigned his position. Mr. Dupuy's Y. M. C. A. Glee Club gave a pleasing concert at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium May 15.
23Miss Marion Gordon, who gave a series of popular ballad concerts with marked success in Pasadena this season, is planning to undertake a series of similar concerts to be given in Los Angeles next season. R. U. Baro.
25THE DUSS CONCERTS.
27The first week of the summer season at the St. Nicholas Garden, where J. S. Duss and his band are holding forth, may be considered a success. The weather was hardly summer weather, yet large audiences flocked to hear Mr. Duss nightly. The programs were arranged to please the multitude, and much enthusiasm prevailed.
29MONTEFIORE PUPIL.—Miss Amy Whaley, who has been in New York this winter studying with Caroline Montefiore, has gone on her annual Southern tour. Miss Whaley is re-engaged in all the important cities of the South, including New Orleans, where she sings with Rosenbecker's Chicago Orchestra.

64THE Apollo Club has selected as its conductor for the ensuing season Charles Galloway, of this city, and he has already conducted one rehearsal in preparation for the concert to be given next November.
66Mr. Galloway is a native of St. Louis, having been born and raised here. His early musical training was received from local instructors, and while yet a boy he held several important positions as church organist, among others that of the First Presbyterian Church. Seven years ago he went to Europe, and remained four years as the pupil of Alexandre Guilmant. Upon his return to this city he immediately demonstrated that he was one of the finest organists who had ever performed here, and almost in a day was placed in that precarious position, "the best organist in the city." During the last three years Mr. Galloway has been organist and choirmaster at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, and the excellence of the music under his direction, as well as his congenial temperament and gentlemanly ways, caused him to be selected to succeed Mr. Robyn. Mr. Galloway is filled with a deep respect and reverence for music as an art, and if he does not forget that the Apollo audiences wish to be entertained rather than instructed, he will without doubt achieve success. The work of the Apollo Club in the past under Mr. Robyn has been of remarkable excellence, and the new director's task is not an easy one.
68The Choral-Symphony Society's outlook for next year is favorable. A committee of ten, of which Dr. Spiegelhalter is chairman, undertook to raise the remaining $11,000 to complete the fund of $20,000 required for next season, and according to last reports all but about $2,000 had been secured. There will be no difficulty in completing the guarantee fund of $20,000 if the gentlemen interested will continue their solicitations.
70No plans for next year have been announced, but current comment has it that there will be six subscription concerts, taking the place of the ten formerly given, and that in addition to these the orchestra will give a series of ten popular concerts. The subscription prices for the six concerts will be the same as that heretofore charged for ten. The managers of the society believe that their patrons would rather pay a given amount for six concerts than for ten. This may be a compliment to the management of the society in the past and to the nature of the concerts—and it may not.
72Miss Berenice Agnew, of Pittsburg, whose remarkable success in concert in London has been mentioned in the columns of THE MUSICAL COURIER, was formerly a pupil of Homer Moore, who taught singing in Pittsburg for three years, beginning in 1892. Concerning Miss Agnew and her work under Homer Moore's instruction, the Pittsburg Dispatch of a few weeks ago contained the following reference:
74"In 1893 Prof. Homer Moore, now of St. Louis, undertook her musical education. While under his instruction she was the principal soloist in nearly all the concerts given by his pupils in Old City Hall, and she sang as soloist at the Pittsburg Exposition with Gilmore's Band."
76Mr. Moore's fourth season in St. Louis will close with the end of June, and he says it is his most successful season so far, not only financially but also in artistic results. A number of his pupils, unknown two or three years ago, are now recognized as in the front rank of local vocalists, and are filling numerous engagements, not only in the city but in adjacent towns.
