11William J. Hall gave another song and lecture recital for students at his studio in the Landour Thursday evening. Dvorák was the composer of the evening, and his gypsy songs and love songs were given.
13Mrs. J. J. Windle, 1718 Nicollet avenue, has issued invitations for a musicale to be given on Saturday evening. Mrs. Vander Hork, Miss Frances Vincent, Miss Rice, O. T. Morris and Mr. Wiley will give musical selections, and Mrs. Josephine Bonaparte Rice will read.
15The Philharmonic Club scored a triumph in the rendition of Verdi's "Manzoni Requiem" at the Swedish Tabernacle Friday evening. The large auditorium was thronged to the doors, and many remained standing during the entire evening. The club itself was in fine form, and the voices were beautifully balanced; there was a spontaneity and elasticity that were delightful. "Sanctus," the most beautiful number in the work, is imposing and difficult to sing, but the club sang it superbly, and Mr. Ober-Hoffer, the director, graciously accorded the deserved encore. Of the soloists Miss Cumming and Mrs. Porteous carried off the honors of the evening. Miss Cumming has a beautiful clear and sweet soprano voice. John Miller, the tenor, has a voice of sweet quality and good range. Dr. Carl Dufft, the basso, owing to a severe cold, was not heard at his best. Mrs. Porteous has never been heard to a better advantage than Friday evening. Her voice is warm and rich in color. She is one of the artistic singers of the city.
17The work of the orchestra was very good. The "Tannhäuser" was beautifully played, and the orchestral effects in the rendition of the Requiem were worthy of the highest praise.
19Madame Schumann-Heink will give a song recital under the auspices of the teachers' course in the First Baptist Church, May 11.
21The musical people are looking forward with a great deal of interest to the Apollo Club's second concert under the direction of H. S. Woodruff, which will be given at the Lyceum Theatre Tuesday evening. The distinguished German tenor, Andreas Dippel, will be the soloist. Paul Elser, a noted pianist, who has been sharing honors with Dippel, will play three numbers. A delightful program will be given by the club, which assures a success.
23A brilliant social event of the season will be the concert and hop to be given February 20 by the Commercial Club in its rooms for the officers of Fort Snelling and their wives. The musical program, under the direction of Frederick Fayram and C. E. Fischer, of the Philharmonic Club, promises to be a delightful affair, which will be given in the Flemish room.

27Another Success for a Russell Pupil.
29AT the recent performance of Mendelssohn's "St. Paul" in Newark, Miss Alice van Nalts, of the professional class of L. A. Russell, met with pronounced success. The Daily Advertiser speaks of this favorite contralto thus: "Miss Alice van Nalts sang the one contralto solo of the work with such feeling and finish and sweetness that the audience would have liked to hear her in more numbers. It was in the solo 'But the Lord Is Mindful of His Own' that Miss van Nalts sang so well." The oratorio was sung in the Peddie Memorial Auditorium before an audience of fully 1,500. The other soloists were Miss Louise Voigt, Herbert Witherspoon and R. C. Campbell. The oratorio was sung under the direction of Mr. Russell.
31Concert by the Dannreuthers.
33MRS. GUSTAV DANNREUTHER, pianist; Gustav Dannreuther, violinist; Joseph Kovarik, viola, and Emil Schenck, 'cellist, gave a chamber music concert Wednesday afternoon, February 18, in the auditorium of the Horace Mann School of Columbia University. The following delightful program was enjoyed by a cultured audience:
35Quartet in G minor………………………………………Mozart
36For piano; violin, viola and 'cello.
37Sonata in A major………………………………………Handel
38For violin and piano.
39Quartet, op. 38, in E flat major………………………..Rheinberger
40The Dannreuther Quartet will give a second concert in the same place Wednesday afternoon, March 4. These concerts are given under the auspices of the Choral Club.
42Musicale at Laura Moore Studio.
44THURSDAY afternoon last saw a large assemblage of invited guests gathered at The Tuxedo to hear some singing by Mrs. John Elliott, soprano (née Ethel Stewart), and Ellison van Hoose, tenor. The Misses Sondheim were also to have played, and Mr. Wetzler played the piano accompaniments. Mrs. Elliott sang:
46Aria, Conseils à Nina………………………………………Weckerlin
47Aria, Caro nome, Rigoletto……………………………….Verdi
48Komm zu mir……………………………………………..Grieg
50The Miss Stewart of old had a pretty, fresh soprano voice, and while the Mrs. Elliott of the present still retains the voice, it is now handled with the ease and assurance which come only with time, experience and by singing the right way. Miss Moore may well be proud of her pupil, for in her singing is reflected much of the charm of her teacher, a charm indefinable, elusive of description, but pronounced. With her professional companions, van Hoose and Wetzler, Mrs. Elliott was quite in her own class, and showed that though retired from public singing she is still working faithfully. Mr. van Hoose sang with much spirit, especially "Chère nuit" and Wagner's "Prize Song." He is dramatic to the bone, and needs large space for his voice. Mr. Wetzler played most sympathetic, well balanced accompaniments.
52Mary Wood Chase in St. Louis.
54MISS MARY WOOD CHASE, the talented Chicago pianist, scored a triumph at the concert which the Morning Choral Club, of St. Louis, recently gave at the Odeon in that city. For her big number of the program Miss Chase played the Sinding Concerto, and her brilliant performance of this interesting work won her five recalls. The auditorium was crowded to the doors. It was reported that 2,500 persons were in the house. Later, when Miss Chase played a group of Chopin and Moszkowski pieces she was again honored with the hearty applause that must convince artists that their gifts are understood and appreciated. Compelled to add a final encore, the pianist played an effective Spanish Serenade, which the composer, Carl Preyer, dedicated to her.
56Miss Chase will play the Sinding Concerto at the Thomas concerts in Chicago this week.
58New York College of Music.
60MORE than 300 boys, girls, young men and young women studying at the New York College of Music assembled in the hall of the college Thursday afternoon, February 19, to hear the recital arranged by Alexander Lambert, the director.
