4June 3, 1906.
6The month of May has been dead, musically speaking. Three concerts only have been given, and in each case the proceeds were for a charitable purpose. The most interesting was held on May 7 at the Salle Leroy, the "talent" being of a superior order.
8The program opened with Mozart's sonata in D, for two pianos. The executants were Théo Ysaye and Emil Bosquet, who later in the evening also rendered variations on a Beethoven theme (Saint-Saëns) in admirable style and splendid ensemble. Alice Tristram, an Irish singer, whose voice is of agreeable timbre, gave "Ché Faro," by Giuck, and two English songs, which were warmly received. Edouard Dern substituted a Beethoven romance for the Handel sonata in A. Jacobs, the well known 'cellist, contributed "Le Desir," by Servais; Tschaikowsky's "Chant d'Automn," and "La Source," by Davidoff. All the artists enjoyed a well deserved success and were warmly thanked by the English and American Ministers for the generous donation of their services.
10The dates of the various "concours" at the Royal Conservatory are not yet announced. The names of pupils who will take part are, however, already posted, save those of De Greef's class and the violinists.
12Aspirants to fame from M. Woulter's class are Mlles. Godenne, Mercier, Aspers, Debalque and Lavergne. Miles. Dejoïn, Gilbert, Heylen, Hoir and Wauters, from the class of Gurickx, will also concour for the domain of vocal art; pupils of Mmes. Cornelis, Kips-Warnots and Désire Demest will participate. one of two readings

15Although Thomson, Cornelius and De Greef have not as yet presented their lists, it is known that three girls and thirteen boys from the two violin classes will play. A young Spaniard, only fifteen years of age, is expected easily to carry off the "première prix avec grande distinction." He is a protégé of Sarasate, uses a violin loaned by the Government, and what is of more importance, is tremendously talented.
17The Liège public had an extraordinary and probably unique opportunity a few weeks ago to judge and wonder over interpretations, for within three weeks Ysaye, Thomson and Musin played the Beethoven concerto there. The fact that all three of these famous violinists were graduates of the conservatory in that city necessarily made the performances occasions of keen interest.
19The Opera season closed on May 20. At the last performance scenes from "Faust," "Coppelia," "Le Postillon" and two other operas were given. Maubourg, Eyreams and Alda were the recipients of numerous and beautiful floral tributes.
21On Friday evening, June 1, a symphonic concert will be given under the direction of Felicien Durane, assisted by Arthur de Greef, who will play the twentieth Mozart concerto and Liszt's "Hungarian Fantasy." The orchestral numbers consist of Beethoven's fourth symphony, "L'Amour maudit," a symphonic poem by Durant, and the overture of "Meistersinger."
23The advanced season causes one to wonder if the audience will not look slim in the big Alhambra Theatre.
25The accompanying photograph, which hardly conveys an adequate idea of the work it portrays, represents the such power in each line that the effect is irresistibly impressive.
27The young sculptor, Heinrich Schneider, is a German whose admiration for the great symphonist amounts to adoration. The work, for this reason, appealed to him so strongly that he felt drawn to do the head, and a remarkable conception still more wonderfully realized and expressed is the result.

31Notes From the Arens Vocal Studio.
33F. X. Arens is about to close one of the busiest seasons he has ever experienced. In addition to conducting the People's Symphony concerts and chamber music concerts, he has had the largest vocal class since he came to New York. He has so many applications for summer work that he could keep his studio open throughout the entire heated term if he so chose; in his stead, however, his resident teacher-pupils will take care of such applicants.
35One of his most promising pupils is F. A. Thomas, whose rich, mellow bass-baritone secured for that gentleman the position of solo bass at St. John's Methodist Church, Brooklyn. Mr. Thomas formerly held the position of high school principal at Moline, Ill.
37Another successful baritone is Oscar S. Story, who after serving his apprenticeship in the chorus of the comic opera, "The Rollicking Girl," has recently been engaged for one of the leading roles of this successful play.
39Still another pupil, Imogen Harding-Bordie, of Portland, Ore., is meeting with continued and ever increasing success. Besides singing in one of Portland's principal churches and teaching a large class of pupils, she is rapidly gaining a name as a concert singer. Even now, at the end of the season, she has engagements for three graduation exercises, another with the Oregon Agricultural Society, yet another at a Fourth of July celebration, and, finally, an engagement from July 12 to 22 as soloist of the Oregon Chautauqua with Rossini's "Stabat Mater" and Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise."
41England is not the only place where Handel is performed frequently. Frankfurt recently gave his "Judas Maccabeus," and Hildesheim his "Messiah."
43Budapest is enjoying Puccini's "Madame Butterfly."
