1MUSICAL WISCONSIN.
2MILWAUKEE, Wis., December 10, 1906.
3The Arion Musical Club was greeted with a magnificent audience at its first concert this season at the Pabst Theater November 23. The soloists were Mme. Schumann-Heink, who is so great a favorite here that Milwaukee might have a special claim on her, were she not an equal favorite everywhere she sings, and Karl Grienauer, the Viennese 'cellist and composer. This artist's playing is distinguished by effects in shading and a brilliant technic. The choral numbers included Elgar's "The Challenge of Thor," Berwald's pleasing "Summer Night," beautifully sung by the Cecilian Choir, and lastly, what proved a genuine treat, indeed, Act II of Gluck's "Orpheus." Mme. Schumann-Heink sang the solo parts with wonderful effect and was well sustained by the chorus which in this number did its most pleasing work. Daniel Protheroe conducted. The next concert will be the annual Christmastide rendition of Handel's "Messiah," when the following distinguished artists will be the soloists: Marie Stoddard, soprano; Mabelle Crawford-Welpton, alto; Reed Miller, tenor; Tom Daniel, bass.
5Kenneth Bingham, of New York, sang a long and varied program before the College Endowment Association at the Athenaeum Wednesday afternoon, November 28, and scored a signal success. Alexander MacFadyen was the accompanist.

Leonard Jaffe, violin; Hugo Bach, violoncello; Oscar Dost, clarinet; Otto Neudeck, horn.

54The Grieg A minor sonata, an "Andante Funebre," by Sinding, and the Boellmann "Variations Symphoniques" were the mountain peaks of Anton Hekking's masterfully rendered program in the Second Artists' Recital, given at the Conservatory Hall, December 3, under the auspices of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. The acknowledged master in his art was evident in every number. Mrs. Norman Hoffman accompanied the 'cellist in the two heaviest numbers, coming in for a worthy and well deserved share of the evening's glory.
55Hans Schroeder, baritone, will be the soloist of the next recital; Hans Bruening at the piano.
57The Conservatory Hall is already firmly established in the favor of both public and artists. Anton Hekking and Franz Kneisel both declared, after their respective programs rendered in it, that it was acoustically the best hall in which they had played in America.
59Bessie Greenwood has resigned her position in the quartet of the Plymouth Congregational to accept that offered her in the Calvary Presbyterian.

85A good audience, but not large enough for the greatness of the performance greeted Anton Hekking at Library Hall, November 27. Hekking's tone is marvelously beautiful. Mitchell Kellert was accompanist and piano-soloist.
87OshKosh.

102Last Friday evening the Royal Welch Choir of twenty male voices gave a most enjoyable concert. The part singing by the men was a model of fine voices, admirably trained. In balance of parts, precision of attack, and intelligent shading, but little more could be desired.
104The Mendelssohn Club, a male chorus of sixty voices under charge of Heman H. Powers, is practising diligently, and later in the season will give a public concert which will be more or less of a society event.
106Neenah.
107The First Presbyterian Church gave a concert on December 7, at which Nina Shattuck, soprano of this city, was soloist, assisted by J. Seaman Garns, baritone, of Lawrence University, and a chorus of forty voices, under the leadership of Albina Ceruti Oborn. Clarence Shepard presided at the piano.
108Miss Shattuck has recently returned from abroad, where she has been studying with Frank King Clark, at Paris, and as this is her first appearance in public since her return the event is looked forward to with a great deal of interest.

110Appleton.
111Oscar Eiler, 'cellist, is at home on a visit. He has lately returned from a long period of study with Carl Schroeder, at Loudenshausen, in the Thuringer Wald. He goes soon to join the forces of the Pittsburg Orchestra, but eventually hopes to get into quartet work. His progress has been great.
113The Standard Opera Company gave very creditable performances here on the 5th and 6th inst., the operas being "Bohemian Girl" and "Martha."
115Arthur Shattuck follows De Gogorza in the artist's course with a recital January 15, at which time he will play among other things the Bach-d'Albert praeludium (Toccata), gavotte and variations, Rameau, the Liszt sonata, Rachmaninoff's serenade.
116Mr. Shattuck gave a very successful concert with Chevillard's Orchestra in Paris last spring, and also appeared with orchestra in Copenhagen, Stockholm and other Scandinavian cities. While in Bergen he was the guest of Grieg, who urged him to give a concert there promising his attendance.
118Vina Shattuck, the soprano, has returned from Paris where she studied for two years with Frank King Clark.
