1BOSTON, Mass., January 31, 1903.
3MISS PAULINE WOLTMANN is having a successful season in the concert field, as a glance at some of the concerts booked will show. Miss Woltmann will sing in Halifax, N. S., January 27, Tschaikowsky's "Joan of Arc" aria and two groups of songs, at the Conservatory of Music and Ladies' College there. On February 12 she will sing at the Thursday Morning Club; on February 20 at a performance of Signor Rotoli's "Roman Festival Mass," conducted by himself, in Symphony Hall. She was one of the soloists at its last performance, given in the spring of 1900. On February 26 she will sing the contralto solo part in Georg Henschel's Requiem, which is to be given in New York at the Metropolitan Opera House, and probably in Brooklyn on March 5. This part Miss Woltmann sang at the first production of the Requiem in Boston. On March 3 a song recital at Waverley, Mass. There are also several festival engagements for May not yet arranged.
5Miss Clara Munger is about to make a radical, and at the same time an advantageous, change in her studios. For the past eighteen years, a time that nearly covers her teaching work in Boston, Miss Munger has occupied a studio on Park street, one of the most beautiful locations in the city, overlooking the Common, and of course having an abundance of light and air. But in recent years the centre of the musical world has moved so far toward Boylston street and Huntington avenue that a studio so far downtown began to seem out of the way. The building on Huntington avenue known as the New Century Building has just been completed, and Miss Munger has taken two very large rooms that are quite separate from the other offices. These rooms run the entire depth of the building, the larger studio facing on Huntington avenue. A brick wall separates these rooms from the offices on the same floor, making them virtually soundproof. However, as Miss Munger is the only musician in the building it is perhaps more a matter of satisfaction to her that the sounds from her studio cannot be heard rather than she cannot hear the sound from other rooms. So many of the buildings in Boston used for studio purposes lack the essential quality of being soundproof that this advantage is more noticeable than it otherwise would have been.
7As soon as Miss Munger is settled in her new quarters, which will be about the 1st of March, she will inaugurate a series of weekly recitals to be given on Monday mornings and to which friends and acquaintances will receive invitations, where her more advanced pupils will be heard, thus giving them the experience of singing before an audience so necessary for those who intend to make concert work a feature. Miss Munger has a number of beautiful voices that have been heard privately by intimate friends, but the studio in Park street was not adapted for a large audience, so the new studio will be a great advance in that respect. There will, of course, be a stage and the rooms are arranged so that they can be thrown into one room, and 150 or even more people can be comfortably seated. This of course is almost like a small hall.
9When completed Miss Munger will have one of the handsomest studios in Boston, and perhaps the largest of any private studio.
11The New Century Building is cared for under the auspices of the Women's Club, and is a model of neatness, comfort and convenience.
13The Brockton Times has this to say of Miss Anna Miller Wood's singing in a recent concert:
14"Miss Anna Miller Wood, mezzo contralto, sang in a clear voice of splendid tone. Miss Wood sang two or three part numbers, the first group being 'On the Way to Kew,' 'Ashes of Roses' and 'Love Me if I Live,' the latter being the favorite with the audience. Her second appearance was at the close of the program, when she gave a group of songs, comprising 'Memnon,' 'In Picardie' and 'O Swallow, Swallow, Flying South,' the last a spirited little song which held the audience till the last note was rendered."
16A musicale was given by Miss Helen Mathews, assisted by Miss Beatrice Holbrook, pianist; Adeline Raymond-Ward, accompanist, on Wednesday evening, January 28, at Madame Edwards' studios, Steinert Hall.
18The lecture by Homer Norris, assisted by Miss Sara K. Corbett, violinist, before the J. A. Jones Music Kindergarten Association, on Wednesday morning, was most interesting. The program was as follows:
19The Sonata Form—From the early Italian composers, culminating in Mozart. Diggessions from the Mozart model exemplified by Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Wagner and Richard Strauss.
20First movement from G minor Sonata………….Tartini (1692)
21Largo from Church Sonata…………………….Locatelli (1693)
22Allegro and Andante from Sonata in B minor…….Bach (1685)
23Larghetto and Allegro from Sonata in D major……Handel (1685)
24Piano illustration of composers since Beethoven.
25Romanza (for violin).
27Theodore Schraeder, baritone, will be the soloist at the pianola recital, Steinert Hall, January 31.
29The orchestral concert of the Boston Singing Club will be in Tremont Temple, February 11, not in the hall at the Conservatory, as announced. There will be but one performance, because the large hall at the Temple will accommodate the Forenight audience and the associates at the same time. The management of the conservatory has had to cancel all dates for Jordan Hall.
31Pupils of the Faelten Pianoforte School gave a fine performance of classical and modern music in Faelten Hall, Wednesday evening. Those who took part were Miss Marion Kent, Miss May Sawtelle, Harry Buitekan, Frank Luker, Miss Jennie Eliasen, Anna Faelten, Miss Estelle Jensen, Ethel Harding and William Daly. The recital was enjoyed by a large audience.

35A concert that brought forth much praise on account of the unusual program of French and Russian compositions, given by Miss Alice Cumming, Miss Anna Miller Wood and Karl Ondricek last season, will be repeated February 5 in Chickerin Hall. Several changes in the program have been made from last year. A new sonata by Emile Bernard, for violin and piano, will be given in place of the one by LeKeu.
