3Herbert Woodward, violinist, who was in town for a few days, played for a few invited guests and critics. Mr. Woodward is making a tour of the West, and is meeting everywhere with big success. He played the Mendelssohn Concerto, the "Carmen" Fantaisie, by Hubay, and several smaller pieces. Mr. Woodward is a big violin talent, and like his teacher, Herbert Butler, possesses abundant tone, technic and temperament. Miss Georgia Bentley accompanied Mr. Woodward in a manner which shows that the young lady is an exceptionally good accompanist. All accompaniments were played from memory. Miss Bentley also played a few solo numbers. She has without doubt a brilliant future.

13Stocker Pupils' Recital.
15The fourth musicale in the series which Mrs. Stella Prince Stocker is giving with her vocal pupils, took place Tuesday evening, January 27. The spacious studio rooms, at 2 West 104th street, were filled with guests. The program for the evening was given by Mrs. Mabel Barton, soprano, assisted by the Stocker Trio, flute, 'cello and piano. Miss Katherine Wrisenberg also contributed two numbers to the delight of those present.
17Mrs. Barton was in good voice and received many compliments for her singing of some of the songs. The development of her voice and her improvement in style have been thought remarkable by several critics who have watched her progress since last season.
19Among the compositions on the program were: "Ecstasy," Mrs. Beach; "A Memory," Edna R. Park; aria from "Samson and Delilah," Saint-Saëns; "A Rose Fable," Hawley; "The Robin," Neidlinger; "Slave Song," Burleigh; "Angels' Serenade," Braga, with flute obligato.

92Miss Hall is a charming singer who does not attain great heights. She has a lovely voice, skillfully used, and a beautiful style, but she is fortunate in knowing her limitations, and with the exception of "Gretchen am Spinnrade" attempted nothing that does not lie within her temperamental scope.
94The remainder of the program was delightfully done, and the large audience was enthusiastic in its demonstrations of appreciation.
96The singer's striking successes were her renditions of the Old Welsh song and of Brahms' "O Saphisiche Ode." one of two readings
98The success of the Oratorio Society's performance of "Samson," under the directorship of Joseph Pache, at Music Hall, Thursday night, was a notable one. The uniformly excellent work of the chorus during the past two seasons was augmented at this concert by an unusually happy selection of soloists, so that the performance as a whole surpassed any given in recent years. one of two readings
100True, it was evident that the choruses were not so familiar to the society as those of other oratorios which have been repeatedly sung during the last decade, but considering that few of the present members had ever studied the "Samson" score until the recent rehearsals and that the extra performance of "The Messiah" claimed much of their time, the results were quite remarkable. Certainly the chorus has never before boasted so fresh and sonorous a tone and such spontaneity of expression. one of two readings
102Mrs. Marie Kunkel Zimmerman, a former Baltimorean, sang the soprano role with distinction. She has made a stride as an artist since she was a choir singer here, and her voice has gained in warmth and variety of color. one of two readings
104Though Mrs. Josephine Jacoby has been heard here often before, she has never sung with such unequivocal success. Her superb voice was in particularly fine condition, and though the part of Micah does not offer opportunity for displaying a wide range either of voice or of sentiment, it is peculiarly sympathetic and grateful. Lloyd Rand delivered the solos of Samson with reverent sentiment and in good taste. One of the best bassos ever heard here is Frederick Martin, whose voice, method and style are most admirable. G. Wright Nicols was the organist. one of two readings
105The singer's striking successes were her renditions of the Old Welsh song and of Brahms' "O Sapphische Ode." one of two readings
107Emanuel Wad, pianist, and one of the most successful instructors of the Peabody staff, gave the seventh Peabody recital last Friday afternoon.

140A Talented Pianist.
142Now that the fashionable private schools are becoming interested in music in its highest form, the artists of the country will have more opportunities to play before cultured audiences. The gifted pianist Mrs. Stella Hadden-Alexander is one who has already filled a number of these engagements. Recently at Miss Spence's School, 26 West Fifty-fifth street, Mrs. Alexander devoted an evening, playing some of the most difficult and beautiful works of the great masters. She gave the same program since then at Miss Dana's exclusive school in Morristown, N. J. Before the season closes Mrs. Alexander will give a number of concerts and recitals.
144There is not a musician who would miss the chance of hearing the program given at the schools referred to when performed by an artist of Mrs. Alexander's skill. The list of compositions is appended:
