A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.
1SEATTLE.
2Seattle, Wash., November 22, 1905.
3The opening of the musical season for Seattle was a concert November 1, under the auspices of the Ladies' Musical Club, Mrs. W. B. Judah, president, by Emma Eames, Emilio de Gogorza, baritone; Joseph Hollman, cellist, and Amherst Webber, accompanist.
5October 30 the Study Club gave a program at the Vincent School of Voice Culture. The following participated: Beatrice Ferris, Hazel Livermore, Mrs. Carl Hoblitzell, Mrs. George May, Mrs. Lloyd Jones and Inez Morrison.
7Two church concerts were given November 8, one by the Sunday school orchestra of the First Baptist Church, assisted by G. Huckins, Lena Ingraham, Mrs. A. L. Bowman and Lewis Humphreys; the orchestra was conducted by Albert M. Humphrey. The other concert was in the First Methodist Church. Arthur E. James gave selections on the organ, D. C. McAllister sang, Mrs. Birchard and Mr. McAllister rendered a duet.
9One of Seattle's gifted singers, Violet Abrams, left last week for the East on her way to Germany for further study. Miss Abrams will go direct to Boston and visit her sister, Mrs. Arthur Lawley; she is the possessor of a sweet soprano voice.
11November 12, J. Edmonde Butler gave his twenty-second organ recital in Trinity Parish Church, and was assisted by Mary Louise Clary, contralto. A large audience listened to their program.
13The Ladies' Musical Club gave their regular club concert in Christensen's Hall. Program was by Karl Smith, cellist; Maude Olive McConnell, Mrs. E. W. Farnsworth, Edith Gastel and Mrs. F. Bentley.
15A large audience assembled in the Plymouth Church November 15 to hear Marguerite Fry sing. Miss Fry is one of Seattle's promising young singers and is a pupil of H. T. Hanlin. She was assisted by J. J. Blackmore, pianist; Louis Singerman, violinist, and Belle Fry, accompanist.
17Positions for Carbone Pupils.
18Few teachers in New York have more pupils occupying responsible positions as church soloists and vocal teachers than Signor Carbone. They are to be found from Maine to California, and without exception they are a credit to their teacher. Only recently Constantine Wallman, one of his pupils who had just completed his studies with him, was heard by Professor Nilson, of the Nilson School of Music in Brooklyn, and immediately engaged by him as the head of the vocal department of his school. Mr. Wallman is the bass soloist of St. Anthony's Church and a concert singer of considerable reputation.
20CECILE FAUBERT, MEZZO SOPRANO.
21Cecile Faubert, a mezzo soprano, who formerly distinguished herself as a drawing-room singer in Paris, and who studied for light opera with M. Lauwers, Madame Faubert sang a varied program of French and Italian operatic arias, and her favorite collection of Chaminade songs. She showed the possession of a well-trained natural voice of pleasing quality, and was particularly happy in her choice of lighter songs by Bemberg and Chaminade.
23Besides her musical gifts, Madame Faubert has the additional assets of lingual ability in several languages, which together with her evidence of a musical mind and discriminating taste ought to make her a desirable artist for private musicales. She sings earnestly and musicianly, with rare attention to diction and phrasing that interprets even the simplest melody with marked charm.
25In her drawing-room work Madame Faubert purposes to make her program an innovation in song recitals, as the style of its make-up will be out of the usual routine, for while her idea will not be suggestive of the "Café Chantants," with which Paris abounds, it will represent the genuinely first-class work of the "Société Chantants" order.
27Madame Faubert will give her first public recital in this country in the Carnegie Chamber Music Hall on the evening of December 8, with the assistance of Carl Bruchhausen, pianist, and Arthur Bergh, violinist.
29PLAINFIELD.
30Plainfield, N. J., November 27, 1905.
31Thursday evening last the music loving public of Plainfield heard some excellent music under the direction of J. Edmund Skiff. The combined choirs of the First Methodist Church of Plainfield and the Presbyterian Church of Westfield, both of which are under Mr. Skiff's direction, gave performances of Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer" and Mendelssohn's setting of the Forty-second Psalm, "As Pants the Heart," and one number, "Unfold Ye Portals," from "The Redemption," by Gounod. The singing of the chorus showed careful and intelligent training. Bertha Van Nuis Willis was the soprano, and her singing of the solos in the two above mentioned works was artistic. Mrs. Stephen H. Tugwell, contralto, sang a composition of Spicker's, "In Thee, O Lord, Do I Put My Trust," with much sympathy. The instrumental soloist of the evening was Florence Wohlfert, violinist. Jessie Utter at the organ and Mrs. Harry N. Taylor at the piano filled their part as accompanists very acceptably.
33The WILLIAM L. WHITNEY International Summer Schools Abroad
34NAPLES BOSTON PARIS
35SAIL JUNE SUMMER TERM RETURN SEPTEMBER
36STUDY AND TRAVEL JULY AND AUGUST
38The establishment of the International Summer Schools Abroad has developed from the need of many students and artists whose work and engagements make foreign study impossible during the regular season. The remarkable success of these schools the past season, with over fifty students in Paris and in Naples, combining the privileges of study with Mr. Harold Bauer (Paris) and Sig. Vincenzo Lombardi (Naples) and the immense advantage of travel, has led to a large enrollment for the summer of 1906, and has made these Summer Sessions of the William L. Whitney International School for Vocalists and Pianists a plan of permanence.
40NAPLES:
41VINCENZO LOMBARDI
42TEACHER OF CARUSO, DE LUCIA, SCOTTI, CALVÉ, ETC.
44The journey over, via Gibraltar, will enable those who desire it to see something of Spain—Gibraltar, Seville, Cordova and Granada, while the proximity to Africa affords a two hours' sail to Oriental Tangier.
46PARIS:
47HAROLD BAUER
48Assisted by Mlle. Chaigneau
50The mere suggestion of the places of interest surrounding Naples—Sorrento, Amalfi, Pompeii, Capri, Ischia, etc.—impresses one at once with the realization that the short trips to these accessible points can be made during the term without interruption to study. The new Hotel Belle Vue entire is engaged for the School's occupancy during the season, the pupils thus escaping the annoyances of a hotel atmosphere. Its healthful and beautiful location on the heights overlooking the Bay of Naples, with Capri, Ischia and Vesuvius in the view, is an added inspiration and a stimulus to good work.
52The returning trip can afford a glimpse of the principal cities of Italy—Rome, Siena, Pisa, Florence, Bologna, Venice and Milan, proceeding to Paris, London and New York.
54Classes will sail from New York and Boston for France and Italy in June, returning in August and September. The difficulty in securing passage for this season makes it imperative that places be secured as soon as possible, if fairly inexpensive accommodation is desired. This entails the usual deposit of $25.00 of the fare, for the steamship company, which reserves the most desirable or economical room. The large enrollment for the coming summer also makes it advisable to arrange early for hours with Mr. Bauer and with Sig. Lombardi.
