1PHILADELPHIA
2PHILADELPHIA, March 6, 1905.
4HARVEY W. HINDERMYER, the talented young tenor of this city, who is now soloist at Calvary P. E. Church, New York, will, on Thursday evening, March 16, give a recital at Griffith Hall. He will be assisted by Emma F. Ruhl, soprano; Mary E. Newkirk, contralto, and John Brinton, baritone. The quartet will sing, for the first time from manuscript, "The Thomas Moore Song Cycle," by W. Warren Shaw. An interesting feature of the evening will be the debut of the Arion Male Quartet, consisting of James Alcorn, Walter Cunningham, Wesley Knox and John Brinton.
6Paderewski will play at the only concert he will give in Philadelphia this season, at the Academy of Music, on Saturday afternoon, March 18.
8A pleasant musical feature of the inauguration was the concert at the Columbia Theatre, Washington, last evening by the Philadelphia Orchestra. The following composers were represented: Wagner, Rossini, Strauss, Liszt, Ambroise Thomas, Leoncavallo, Von Weber, Schumann, Massenet.
10A concert will be given at Griffith Hall on Tuesday evening, March 14, by Selden Miller, assisted by Michael Svedrofsky and Alfred Saal. Their program will consist of a Brahms trio, C major, for piano, violin and 'cello; a number of Chopin solos and Mendelssohn's trio in D minor. Mr. Miller has just returned to this, his home, city after three years in Europe, part of the time studying and part playing in public. While a pupil of the late famous Russian, Ernst Jedliczka, who taught in Berlin, Mr. Miller devoted much time to the study of theory, which knowledge, together with a remarkable memory, has fitted him to conduct four Wagner operas without score—an achievement indicative of mature development. There is a movement on foot among amateur orchestral performers to urge Mr. Miller to conduct an organization on the lines of the former Philadelphia Amateur Orchestra, from which our present superb organization developed, and it is impossible to estimate the educational and elevating possibilities of such a movement.
12Emma Eames has generously offered to sing in aid of the Gwynedd Home for Convalescent Children on Thursday evening, March 23, at the Bellevue-Stratford. She will be assisted by Josef Hofmann.
14Mrs. Edward Dudley gave a private musicale at her home, 1723 Locust street, on Thursday evening last, the singers being Lillian Blauvelt and Mr. Archambault. Andre Benoist was the accompanist.
16Fritz Kreisler and Josef Hofmann gave a very enjoyable concert at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening last to a delighted though small audience. The concert opened with Grieg's sonata in F major, op. 8, No. 1, played by the two artists. This was followed by a masterly playing of Beethoven's famous "Kreutzer Sonata," and among other numbers on the program were a series of delightful old time compositions, ranging from 1635 to 1803.
18Nicholas Douty, so well known to all concertgoers, announces a song recital at Griffith Hall on Tuesday evening, March 21, when he will render a program selected from modern German, Russian, French, Norwegian, Italian, English and American composers. He will accompany himself on the piano.
20The second subscription concert by the Mendelssohn Club at the Academy of Music last Wednesday evening was, in many respects, the most enjoyable ever given by this popular musical organization. The club sang as they have never done at a previous occasion, and the enjoyment was still further enhanced by the singing of Signor Campanari, who is always a welcome vocalist here, and Abbie R. Keely.

80CONNECTICUT NOTES.
81NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 2, 1905.
83JOSEF HOFMANN, the remarkable Polish pianist, after an absence of three years, again visited us last evening, playing an excellent program at Woolsey Hall before an audience numbering over 2,000.
84The affair was given under the auspices of the department of music of Yale University, Hofmann enjoying the distinction of being the first pianist selected for the educational course now being inaugurated.
85Great pianists frequently visit Connecticut, and occasionally this city. Hofmann, as a boy prodigy, enjoyed an enviable reputation, and proving the exception has now reached the ranks of the greatest players living.
86After the concert Professor Knight entertained Mr. Hofmann at the Quinnipiac Club, there being also present Prof. H. W. Parker, Professor Sanford, H. Grant Thompson, Everard Thompson, T. M. Prentice, C. S. De Forest and Walter Cowles.
88Last Sunday Dorscht Lodge, No. 2, of this city, celebrated its twentieth anniversary and had as its guests the members of the parent Lodge, Dorscht No. 1, of New York. The two orchestras combined, numbering upward of 100, playing a fine program, under the direction of Frank Fichtl. The soloists were Nora Russell-Haesche, soprano, of New Haven, and Adam Schirra, cornetist, of New York.
90The features of the New Haven Symphony concert last week were the Raff symphony, conducted by Professor Parker, and the excellent 'cello playing of Leo Schulz.
92Prof. H. B. Jepson is now giving an enjoyable series of weekly recitals on the Newberry organ in Woolsey Hall.
94The last concert of the Hartford Philharmonic Orchestra, under the able conductorship of John Spencer Camp, was one of the best in the history of the organization. They are a fine band of players and augur well for a brilliant future. Anton Hekking, a 'cellist of fine ability, was the soloist and his playing met with much approval.
96Richmond P. Payne, the well known conductor of Hartford, has resigned his position as organist at the South Church, New Britain, where he has been for many years. E. F. Laubin, of the Centre Church, has accepted the position.

100Barkley With Singers' Club.
102ADAME HELEN VON DOENHOFF has reason to be proud of the singing of her pupil, Harriet Barkley, with the Norwich, N. Y., Singers' Club, February 8. Press comment follows:
103Miss Barkley was heard in two very pretty solos, Ardit-Melba waltz, "The Red Rose" and "Good Day, Marie." Passard, for her encore. Both received a perfect storm of applause. one of two readings
104Miss Barkley was heard in two very pretty solos, Ardit-Melba waltz, "The Red Rose" and "Good Day, Marie," Passard, for her encore. Both received a perfect storm of applause. one of two readings
105The women's chorus of two numbers was well received. The closing number, "Barbara Frietchie," a cantata, by Jules Jordan, was beautifully rendered and clearly showed what the club could do. Miss Barkley sang the incidental solo in this, and it gave her a good chance to display her dramatic ability.—Binghamton Press.
107Harriet Barkley, of New York, the soprano soloist, has a pure voice of good range and considerable flexibility, best suited to the colorature style. Her waltz song gave her ample opportunity for roulades and trills, and she sang them very charmingly. Her solo work in "Barbara Frietchie" was thoroughly sincere, and she made a most pleasing impression. Norwich will be glad to hear this young singer again.—Chenango Telegraph.
