1ladies' vocal quartet, composed of Miss Marshall, and Josephine, Charlotte and Clara Pech, sang a Mozart "Lullaby" and other numbers. Joseph Hruby, John Mason, John Kalas, Joseph Halamicek and Mark Vilim played a set of "Rural Pictures," by Malat, for two violins, violoncello, harmonium and piano. The violin numbers were a tarantelle by Wehle-Ondricek, played by William Lloyd; Paganini's arrangement of "God Save the Queen," played by Julius Brander, and the fantaisie by Sevcik, played by Edna Earle Crum. The Suk trio is a highly colored composition which gets its rhythmic character from a syncopation carried through the piano part. The intrinsic value of the composition is not such as to be apparent on a first hearing.
3The first monthly class day for the pupils of Jeanette Durno-Collins was observed October 11, at Mrs. Collins' home studio, 3752 Lake avenue. Two pupils furnished the program of the day. Daisy Waller played the three movements of the Chopin F minor concerto, with second parts played by Mrs. Collins. The other player was Marie Edwards, who played the Schumann G minor sonata; the Chopin B flat scherzo, the Mendelssohn E minor scherzo, the Moszkowski "Juggleress," and the sixth Liszt rhapsody. The class will hold a number of open meetings in the ensuing months.
5The basso, Gustav Holmquist, with studio in Kimball Hall, is giving most of his time to his church position, to his teaching and to the careful further development of his own voice and repertory. He will take a few public engagements this year, but will probably decide not to solicit them. Such is his confidence in the future. It is not often that a young singer of his attainments can persuade himself to look upon business prospects so philosophically.
7The pianist, William W. Kennett, who shares studio with Mr. Holmquist, had thought of playing a series of recitals in Chicago, but his teaching has begun so busily that he hesitates to spare the time to arrange and play the programs he once considered.
9Frank T. Baird, who has kept a vocal studio for years at 34 East Monroe street, reached Chicago about two weeks ago, after a couple of months spent in England. Mr. Baird has resumed his teaching with a number of fine voices that have been in his class for some years, also a number of promising new voices.
11Madame Dove-Boetti, of the Auditorium, will be one of the first of the vocal teachers to give an autumn recital of her pupils. In Handel Hall, October 26, her pupils will present a program of solos, duos, trios and a quartet and duo from Flotow's "Martha." The flutist, Franco Nasca, and violinist, A. Frosolono, will assist in occasional obbligatos. On account of the length of the program the hour of beginning will be 7:30.
13The soprano, Mary Hinman Steele, who located in Chicago four years ago, has resumed her instruction in Kimball Hall. Miss Steele was for years a pupil of the late Charles R. Adams, of Boston. She first came West to become instructor of the voice at Monticello Seminary, Godfrey, Ill., one of the older schools of its kind in the State. Later Miss Steele was engaged in the instruction of the voice at the music school of the Illinois University at Champaign. A principle set forth in Miss Steele's circular is that "the voice is the most delicate of all instruments and should never be forced in cultivation, but allowed to grow and develop naturally."
15Pugno to Play the Rachmaninoff Concerto.
17RAOUL PUGNO will make his reappearance in New York Saturday evening, November 18, in Carnegie Hall, when he is to be heard with the Russian Symphony Orchestra, Modest Altschuler conductor, playing the Rachmaninoff concerto in F minor. The recital announced for this date in New York has been postponed until the following week. Pugno gives two recitals in Boston at Jordan Hall on the afternoons of November 15 and 22, and also plays with the Boston Symphony Quartet in that city on the evening of the 27th. Numerous dates for M. Pugno have been booked by Mr. Wolfsohn during the past week, including Minneapolis, Detroit and Montreal.
