1by Mrs. Cora Genung-Chamot, soprano; Miss Ruth Miller, harpist, and W. Grant Egbert, violinist.
3Mme. Dora Wiley-Tennis will soon close her summer vocal school, which she has conducted for several weeks near Bangor, Me.
5Mrs. Gailor gave a musicale at her home in Saratoga recently, at which her guests listened to piano numbers by Mrs. Frederick A. Converse and Miss Edna W. De Long; to violin solos played by Henry Gray, and vocal solos by Mrs. Clifford E. Williams.
7Plans are progressing for the music festival to be held at Potsdam, N. Y., October 16 and 17. Miss Mary Howe, soprano; Mrs. Isabelle Bouton, contralto; Dr. Franklin D. Lawson, tenor, and Francis Archambault, basso, are some of the artists already engaged.
9George A. Kies gave an organ recital in the Union Baptist Church, at Mystic, Conn., last month, at which the assisting vocalist was his wife, Mrs. Kies. In the congregation were many of the summer guests from the village and adjoining villages.
11The summer residents of Dansville, N. Y., contributed to the success of a good concert given in that village last month by Miss Jeanne M. Clerihew, soprano; Miss Josephine Millham, contralto; Miss Louise Griswold, contralto; Harry Thomas, tenor; George Frank Spencer, baritone, and Mrs. Louis E. Fuller, organist and accompanist.
13Miss Sally Frothingham Akers, the talented soprano, attracted an audience of fashionable people to the song recital, which she gave last month at Cooperstown, N. Y. The Republican, in the report of the recital, stated:
15"Miss Akers is a vocalist of rare ability, possessed of a rich voice thoroughly cultivated. The various numbers of her program furnished a wide range and variety, emphasizing her ability and increasing the pleasure of her hearers."
17Emile Malmquist, a musician who teaches and plays the piano, violin, 'cello and cornet, recently gave a recital at the New Orleans (La.) Conservatory of Music, at which he played solos on the four instruments. The piano numbers performed by him were Liszt's arrangements of parts of Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Isolde's Death," two parts from Liszt's "Venice and Naples"; the "Waldstein" Sonata, by Beethoven, and the Chopin Berceuse. As violin solos he played a "Faust" Fantaisie by Alard. The 'cello number was "Kol Nidrei," by Max Bruch, and on the cornet he played the Levy arrangement of the "Inflammatus," from Rosini's "Stabat Mater."
19MRS. ANTONIA SAWYER'S MAINE ENGAGEMENTS.
21MRS. ANTONIA SAWYER, the contralto, has abandoned her proposed visit to Germany this month. To a friend in New York she writes that her engagements in Maine are keeping her busy, and then, too, the Gardner School on Fifth avenue, where Mrs. Sawyer has a promising vocal class, reopens early in October. Mrs. Sawyer sang in Portland a fortnight ago, and she has engagements ahead for Poland Springs, Bar Harbor and Dexter, all in the singer's native State, Maine.
23Appended are extracts from the Portland daily papers:
25Mrs. Antonia H. Sawyer, who was heard with so much pleasure Tuesday evening, is a native of Waterville, and while in Portland has been the guest of her school friends, Mayor and Mrs. Boothby. Mrs. Sawyer teaches in the vocal department of Dr. Gardner's school and sings in the Old First Presbyterian Church, on Fifth avenue and Twelfth street, New York. Although a lineal descendant on her mother's side of John Peregrine White, Mrs. Sawyer has never become a "Daughter" or even a member of the Mayflower descendants.
27"I am content with being a member of the National Society of New England Women," said Mrs. Sawyer in answer to the question as to her club affiliations. Intensely loyal to Maine in particular and New England in general, she was amused while abroad to be introduced to a famous English vocalist, who confessed to having been born in Maine.
29The complimentary paragraphs which have been written of Mrs. Sawyer's singing and her art would fill a volume. A recent number of THE MUSICAL COURIER has a fine, full length picture of Mrs. Sawyer on the cover, and gives a page to a sketch of this celebrated daughter of the Pine Tree State.—Portland Evening Express, August 6, 1902.
31Mrs. Antonia H. Sawyer, of New York, formerly of Waterville, then sang, with accompaniment by Latham True, Mus. Doc., a selection which was loudly applauded, and rendered "Beloved" as an encore.—Daily Eastern Argus, August 6, 1902.
33Mrs. Antonia H. Sawyer then sang a beautiful German song and was given a handsome reception. She has a sympathetic voice which has been highly cultured, and her singing afforded great pleasure to her hearers.—Portland Daily Press, August 6, 1902.
35A portrait of Mrs. Sawyer is to be added to the collection in the celebrated "Maine Room" at Portland.
