1ST. LOUIS.

5THE third subscription concert by the Choral Symphony Society took place in the Odeon Thursday evening, January 15. The soloist was the much heralded Jaroslav Kocian, violinist. The complete program was as follows:
7Symphony No. 3, F major, op. 153 (Im Walde)………….Raff
8Concerto, D major………………………………………Paganini-Wilhelmj
9Jaroslav Kocian and Orchestra.
10Scherzo, D minor, from Symphony……………………..Kroeger
11Mr. Kocian.
12Franz Spindler at the piano.
13Liebesfrühling…………………………………………..George Schumann
14Orchestra.
16Kocian's demeanor was modest and unsensational, and he played as if he was thoroughly enthused with his work. He played one encore after the concerto and two after the group. He is announced for a recital in the near future.
18The Scherzo by Mr. Kroeger was well received and proved to be rhythmically interesting. The orchestra made its chief success in the "Liebesfrühling" by George Schumann, a work in the most modern style, both as regards composition and orchestration, and full of vitality and virility. Although the last number on the program, and, parenthetically, it may be said, the last number on the program of a Choral Symphony concert is usually a march to the nearest exit for a considerable portion of the audience, this number was enthusiastically applauded. The work of the orchestra throughout the performance was creditable, and special mention should be made of Carl Weinelt, first horn player. Never before had the writer heard a program in which this instrument had so long and difficult a part, and it is a pleasure to say that without an exception his performance met every requirement.
20Sunday afternoon, January 18, Alexander Henneman began a series of Sunday afternoon concerts in Henneman Hall, in the presence of an audience that seemed to portend their continued success. The soloist for the first concert was Homer Moore, baritone. The complete program is as follows:

41An effort is being made by what is called the Burns Cottage Association to secure a reproduction of the house in which Robert Burns was born, known as the Alloway Cottage, and of Stirling Castle, at the World's Fair. A subscription list has been opened, and Saturday evening, January 17, a concert was given in the Odeon to aid in raising funds for this cause. The program was under the direction of Frederick Fischer. The soloists were Mrs. Ruby Shotwell Piper, soprano; William Porteous, basso, and Joseph Buse, tenor. Alex. Robertson discoursed most agilely on the bagpipe and brought forth sounds which recalled the early days of Scotland, producing varied emotions in the minds of the listeners, according to their predisposition, musical and patriotic. A band of music of some thirty musicians and a chorus of a hundred men and women rendered selections of Scotch music. The complete program was as follows:
43Bagpipe selections……………………………Alex. Robertson, Pipe Major
44Overture, Guy Mannering………………………………….Bishop
45Variations on Bonnet Blue, with variations for clarinets, flutes, cornets, basses and piccolo……………………Godfrey

73Thursday evening, January 22, Victor Lichtenstein began a series of three chamber music concerts at Henneman Hall. The personnel of the quartet is as follows: Victor Lichtenstein and Jacob Blumberg, violin; Louis Kielsmeier, viola, and Richard Schubert, 'cello. The soloist for the first concert was Miss Florence Tanner, soprano. Lucien E. Becker was the accompanist. The complete program was as follows:
74Violins, Victor Lichtenstein and Jacob Blumberg; viola, Louis Kielsmeier; 'cello, Richard Schubert.
75Soloist, Miss Florence Tanner.
76Lucien E. Becker…………………………………………..Accompanist
77Quartet, B flat, No. 78………………………………….J. F. Haydn

83Irish Folksong…………………………………………….A. Foote one of two readings
84May Morning……………………………………………..L. Denza
85Miss Florence Tanner.
86Quartet in D……………………………………………….Alexander P. Borodin
87The work of the quartet was very creditable for a first performance. The quartet by Borodin was especially well performed and well received. Although Haydn's music seems constructed with childlike simplicity, it does not seem to be so when one tries to play or sing it, and many more rehearsals will be needed before Mr. Lichtenstein and his confrères will be able to give it correct interpretation. Miss Tanner's work was best in the Irish Folksong, although the final number, "May Morning," was sung with a fire and abandon that caused it to be enthusiastically received.
89William Weil continues his band concerts at the Odeon, with large audiences in attendance. The soloist Sunday, January 25, was Miss Grace Walser, soprano. Her chief success was achieved in the Jewel aria from "Faust."
91Here Is Good News.
93ELLISON VAN HOOSE, the concert tenor, has accepted an engagement as first tenor of the Bremen Opera, in Germany. Are our American artists at last to come into their own abroad?
95Warranted to Wear.
97SPEAKING of the tenor Burgstaller's recent Philadelphia appearance the New York American says that his "action" is good. It ought to be; he was a watchmaker in Thuringia.
