1Dr. Frederick H. Cowen directed a performance of his own Scandinavian symphony in C minor. The next concert of this orchestra will be conducted by Arthur Nikisch.
3A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the two young singers, Edith Hand and William Waite, on Wednesday evening at Bechstein Hall, when they made their first public appearance. They have both been studying with Mme. Moriani during the past winter, and as was to be expected from pupils of this well known and extremely clever teacher, they made a distinct success. Their program was of great interest, giving, as it did, quite unacknowledged song, or at least songs not often heard in London. Mme. Hands, who has a flexible soprano voice and who sings with ease and fluency, was heard in an aria from Haydn's "Seasons," as well as in several songs, and her rendering of "Angels Ever Bright and Fair" was listened to in breathless silence. Mr. Waite has a bass voice that is resonant and flexible, with good quality of tone, and he would seem to be specially suited for the operatic stage. His success was assured from the start. Five of Albert Mallinson's songs were given, accompanied by the composer. Jean du Chastain, a young French pianist, assisted.
5At the concert given by Lucie Johnstone at Steinway Hall last week the following assisted: Evangeline Florence, Harold Wilde, Hubert L. Fulkerson, Charles Copland, Mabel Monteith, Margaret Holloway, Mrs. Hatthay, F. A. Sewell and the Empire Vocal Quartet.
7Frederic Warren leaves next week for the Continent, where he will spend the coming four months studying and singing. He is to make a tour of the Normandy coast and will fill other engagements in France.
9Loudon G. Charlton and Mrs. Charlton arrived in London from New York last week. He has concluded arrangements to manage an extensive tour in the United States during next season of Francis Macmillen, the young American violinist, who has made such a brilliant European success.

13Mark Hambourg in London.
15This is what London papers say of the distinguished pianist, Mark Hambourg, in recital:
17Mr. Hambourg has done one extraordinary thing in his life; that is, he has more than realized the promise of his youth. Once he was a prodigy; now he is an accomplished artist. He gave a piano recital at Queen's Hall two or three days ago which proved how mature and ripe a player he has now become. Schubert's fantasia in C major is by no means an easy work to give to the public in order to prove its real excellence; yet Mr. Hambourg accomplished this feat with what seemed so incredible a facility that one would never have guessed that which was obviously the truth, that he had reduced all obscurity into a final simplicity.—London Sketch.
19One may differ from Mr. Hambourg's readings of Beethoven, and quarrel with his Chopin, but as a performer of contemporary music he is unsurpassable, for he is the incarnation of the music spirit of today. A great artist, all he plays is stamped with his own poetic individuality and a very rich and original temperament. For those who do not like the classical masters à la Mark Hambourg, there are plenty of less interesting pianists who serve them up with less richly flavored sauces.—London Clarion.
21Mark Hambourg's fervent admirers thronged the Queen's Hall on May 20, when he gave what was announced as his only recital this season.—London Musical News.
