3CHICAGO, June 17, 1905.
5THIS is the season of commencements and no less than three of the large schools of music have held them this week.
7Sherwood Music School.
9Wednesday evening, June 14, the Sherwood Music School held its annual commencement concert in Music Hall before an audience of good size, and a long and attractive program of piano music exclusively was rendered. Among the performers James A. Bliss, a young pianist of promise, played the last movement of the E flat concerto, op. 73, of Beethoven; Alice McClung the finale of the G minor, Mendelssohn; Gladys Brainard the first movement of the F minor, Chopin; Frank Cannon the "Polonaise Brillante," op. 72, Weber-Liszt; Elsie DeVoe the last movement of the Grieg, and Marion Dana the scherzo from the G minor, Saint-Saens. All these acquitted themselves of their tasks with credit and showed that the Sherwood Music School has kept pace with the musical progress of the city.
11American Conservatory of Music.
13Thursday evening, June 15, the American Conservatory, of which John Hattstaedt is president, held its annual commencement and concert in Orchestra Hall, assisted by some forty musicians of the Theodore Thomas Orchestra. The concert was under the able direction of Adolf Weidig, who conducted the opening overture, "Oberon," by Weber, with spirit and temperament, and who followed the soloists with care and discretion. Most creditable on the long program was the violin playing of Lulu Sinclair, who chose the D minor concerto of Vieuxtemps, in which she showed technical ability, good tone and musical taste. Albertine Heller gave a good account of herself in the first movement of the B flat minor concerto of Tschaikowsky, Martha Powell sang "Hail, Hall of Song," from "Tannhäuser," Wagner, and Jeannette Early played the andante tranquillo and presto from the A minor concerto of MacDowell with fire and abandon. The other numbers on the program were given by Elma Wallace, Helen Phipps and W. J. Fenton. An audience of about 2,000 people was present, the stage was tastily decorated with potted plants and flowers. There were considerably more than 100 students in the various departments who received medals, diplomas and certificates. Rev. William Chalmers Covert addressed the graduates, and John J. Hattstaedt awarded the medals, diplomas and certificates. On the whole, the evening was one of the most brilliant in the history of the institution.
15Columbia School of Music.
17Friday afternoon, June 26, at 2.30 o'clock, the Columbia School of Music closed its fourth year with the annual exercises and commencement at the Studebaker Theatre. A class of over sixty pupils received diplomas and certificates. An orchestra of thirty-five men, consisting of members of the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, under the direction of Clarence Dickinson, assisted.
19The graduating address was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Samuel Fallows. An audience taxing the capacity of the theatre was present.
21Chicago Musical College.
23Tuesday evening next, June 20, at the Auditorium, the Chicago Musical College will hold its thirty-ninth annual commencement exercises and concert with full orchestra, under the direction of Hans von Schiller. This promises to eclipse all previous commencements given by the college, in both the excellence of the program to be presented and in the number of students who are to receive degrees and other marks of distinction. Dr. H. W. Thomas will address the graduates.
25CHICAGO NOTES.
26The Bush Temple Conservatory.
28The rapid growth of the Bush Temple Conservatory has made it necessary that Kenneth M. Bradley, the director, secure additional members to the faculty for the coming season. The Musical Courier has already made mention of the engagement of Harold von Mickwitz, the famous Leschetizky pupil, who is to be added to the piano department this fall. Besides Mr. Mickwitz, Ludwig Becker, concertmaster of the Thomas Orchestra, has been secured as instructor in the violin department. Forest Dabney Carr, formerly with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company of New York, is engaged as instructor in the voice department. Another important addition to the faculty is the engagement of Mrs. Evelyn Fletcher-Copp, founder of the Fletcher Music Method. Mrs. Copp is to personally conduct her work each year in the Bush Temple Conservatory.
30The summer normal class of the Bush Temple Conservatory opens June 26.
32Catharine Hall-Thatcher was tendered a "farewell concert" at the Bryn Mawr club house on Thursday evening last. The sponsors for the occasion were Senator Clark and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Hadley and Mr. and Mrs. Van Livingstone. The assistant artists were Lucille Stevenson-Tewsbury, soprano; John B. Miller, tenor; Rosalie Jacobsohn, 'cello, and Anna Weiss, piano.
34The citizens of the beautiful little suburb turned out en masse to do honor to the event, and the affair was pronounced the most successful, socially and artistically, ever attempted in that portion of Chicago. Mrs. Thatcher left Chicago Saturday evening, and will make her future home in Monessen, Pa., a distant suburb of Pittsburg.
