1WASHINGTON.
3WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2, 1905.
5D R. O. G. SONNECK'S subject for lecture this week was the life and work of Anton Beer, a modern German composer, whose works the lecturer has heard, and of whose future as a composer of merit he is convinced. The lecture, as are all of Dr. Sonneck's efforts, was earnest, emphatic, even eloquent. Vocal and ensemble selections were performed as illustration. Charlotte St. John Elliott, a soprano pupil of Susanne Oldberg, was the singer. Johannes Miersch, Joseph Finckel, Ernest Lent and Mrs. Lent and Mr. Harrison were instrumental performers. A group of songs, stringed quintet and quartet were given. A large company was present. The composer has written operatic and orchestral work.
7David Paulsen, of Moscow, gave a morning of Russian folksongs at the Friday Morning Club, Miss Stiebler, of Baltimore, playing the accompaniments. Typical songs of the peasant class and of their children made up the program. There was deep interest and constant applause.
9Emile E. Mori is a Russian, native of St. Petersburg, who is esteemed in Washington as professor of voice culture. He teaches the Italian method and has a large following.
11Margaret Veitch speaks with interest of her first experiences on a concert tour. This singer is another pupil of Mrs. Oldberg (also of Georg Fergusson, of Berlin) who is getting to the front. She has sung much this season. At the George Washington University Assembly, at the residence of Mrs. Coyle Goldsborough, on K street, where she is a great favorite and teaches two members of the family; at Mrs. H. P. R. Holt's, at two benefits, and with a prominent local violin artist. Her voice enunciation and general attractiveness are highly spoken of.
13The singing of Thomas Evans Greene at the Sembrich concert had immense recognition in recalls, applause and flowers. He sang "Cujus Animam" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater," "Thou Art So Like a Flower," by Chadwick, and "Recompense," by William G. Hammond. His encores seemed but to increase his popularity. Mr. Greene will be soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra on Sunday evening. He gives a recital in Staunton, Va., this week at the seminary there.
15Sembrich, under Katie Wilson's skillful management and her own powers of attraction, drew out one of the largest houses of the season and was applauded to the echo. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, in her concert, was likewise received as the great genius she is. She never played to more concentrated attention, reverent feeling, or more enthusiastic recognition.
17The Philadelphia Orchestra, Marine Band and Hale Orchestra all give concerts in as many different theatres on Sunday following inauguration. Monday is given over to concert, and bands will escort distinguished guests to the depots.
19Miss E. Killingsworth Brown's concert on the 3d, Clara Drew's on the 9th, Miss Unschuld's on the 28th and a Burleigh scholarship concert at the Washington Conservatory and a "Hiawatha" performance form attractions for March. Miss Drew gave a concert on Monday to introduce Mary Carden. She sang this week at the home of Secretary Hitchcock. Miss Kasper, daughter of the well known orchestra leader, will be soprano soloist in Verdi's Requiem in April. Oscar Gareissen gives a pupil recital next week.
21A. W. Porter, bass soloist of St. Aloysius' Church, where Stephen Kübel is director, is a pupil of Guilmette, has a range of two octaves and three notes, has had dramatic and operatic experience, and is master in oratorio work. He is one of the most prominent singers in Washington and is highly esteemed also as a teacher of voice. John A. Finnegan, the popular tenor, has made great progress under Mr. Porter's training.
23Isidore Luckstone's remarkable accompaniment of the Sembrich songs is the subject of universal remark and commendation. Mr. Luckston is one of the best accompanists ever heard in Washington. Eva Slocum, of the Franconia, gave a reception to the members of the Music Lovers' Knot this week. A large company was present and there was incidental music. Miss Slocum is herself a charming singer, has personal qualities of exceptional order and is foremost in good word and work for music. Mrs. Clarence B. Rheem, the contralto, held a musical reception this week at her home on S street.
25Elizabeth Patterson sang at Sherry's, New York, on Washington's Birthday. She was the guest of Mrs. Donald McLean. On the 28th she sang at a private musicale. She also gave a song recital at the studio of the sculptor Adelaide Johnson, of Washington, now of New York. Miss Patterson will soon be in Washington. Pupils of the Clavier Piano School in Washington gave a program at the Friday Morning Club. David Mannes and Mrs. Rider-Kelsey, of New York, will be performers at the next Saengerbund concert under the direction of Henri Xander.
27Katie Wilson has arranged for a series of morning chamber music concerts next season in Washington, and to bring here the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Adolf Glose, the pianist, and Johannes Miersch are soon to give a joint concert here. Mr. Glose is busy and happy with his piano work. His family come on to Washington next week.
29Katherine May Brooks is one of the brightest and most promising pupils of the Clavier Piano School here. She is accurate, studious, rarely gifted, and has tact and grace about her work. Daughter of Kate Scott Brooks, she is gaining knowledge rapidly, and a highly useful future is in store for her.
31Hallie Dupré gives this week a concert recital in Texas. She is rapidly assuming a place in that State as singer. She is one of the gifted pupils of Sallie Bradley MacDuffie in Washington, where the young lady is pleasantly remembered.
33Marie von Unschuld, president of the University of Music, gave a valuable program before the public school children this week. The spinet was the subject of a short talk with illustrations, and Mozart, Bach, Schubert and Mendelssohn were played. There is no talking whatever during these concerts, nor is ever one of the audience behind time in attendance. The result of the venture is most gratifying.
35Prof. Arthur Yundt, teacher of violin and other stringed instruments, was given a benefit this week. The "Cantori Napolitani" and Mrs. Koentz Holland were features of the concert. Mr. Yundt is most popular. His studio is at 931 K street.
37Frieda Rica, one of the most gifted members of the "Red Feather" company, is being rapidly brought forward before the public with the favor and recognition of her managers. She has several times been called upon to sing the principal roles, and has acquitted herself with great credit. General surprise is expressed on finding that this singer and clever actress is in her first experience. She is a girl of unusual artistic and personal qualities.
39Marie Withrow has returned from London to San Francisco and is busy teaching there. Miss Withrow made an enviable record in London as teacher, not simply as a giver of lessons.
41THE MUSICAL COURIER may be found at the principal hotels in Washington, at Brentano's (uptown store on F street), on the leading news stands of Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, and at Droop's, 925 Pennsylvania avenue.

45Miss Brown's Concert.
46[WASHINGTON, CORRESPONDENCE.]
48OWING to a series of interruptions consequent upon the inaugural, on whose eve it occurred, Miss Brown's concert was seriously interfered with. Francis Rogers, detained by congested traffic, did not arrive till after it had commenced. The accompaniment was changed at the last minute. Miss Burbage could not appear and band music from the street below played harm to harmony. Mr. Rogers did nobly and most kindly, too, under the circumstances. Miss Brown could not, of course, do herself justice. Miss Liebermann illustrated the performance of selections from two operas at one time.
50The Gottlieb Family Concert.
52THE Gottlieb Musical Family gave a concert in Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, Friday evening, February 28. Conductor Gottlieb was assisted by his seven children—Bertha, Rose, Jacob, Max, Lena, Mamie and Sadie. A full report of the concert will be published next week.
54Recital by Bernstein Pupil.
56ILLIAN MARCUS, a pupil of Eugene A. Bernstein, will give a piano recital in Carnegie Lyceum, Sunday evening, March 12, assisted by her teacher and Francis Archambault, baritone, and Alexander Saslavsky, violinist.
