158Grace Munson's Worcester Engagements.
159Grace Munson has been engaged to sing at a performance of "The Messiah," in Worcester, on December 28, and this will make the contralto's third engagement in that city within three months. This is a worthy tribute to her singing at the Worcester Festival, in October last. Miss Munson will sing in "The Messiah," to be given in Jersey City on December 20, and in Norwalk on April 3, 1907. The following press notices refer to her singing in Dvorák's "Stabat Mater":
161(no line here) one of two readings
162While all the voices are given a splendid opportunity in this oratorio, the solo work of the contralto, perhaps, demands more than any other voice, and here Grace Munson had her chance. Miss Munson also sang at the festival, but those who heard her hardly suspected that she possessed a voice of such unusual timbre and flexibility. Her upper tones are unusually well developed for such a deep contralto, while her lower register is of a quality that is seldom heard. Her solo, "Inflammatus," was sung with splendid effect and feeling, and she met with well deserved applause.—Worcester Gazette, November 20, 1906.

165Then came Miss Munson's solo and her great deep contralto was heard to great advantage. She is one of the true contraltos and she possesses a remarkable register, pure and rich, without a jarring note. While her high notes are sweet, her great power lies in the ease with which she goes down almost into the domain of the baritone.—Worcester Telegram.
167Recitals by Florence Turner-Maley.
168Florence Turner-Maley gave a recital on October 21, at Montclair, N. J. She made a second appearance there on November 18. The same date she also gave a concert in Newark, N. J. During the autumn, Mrs. Maley has filled engagements with a number of church choirs, including the "Old First" Presbyterian Church, New York; the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York, and the West End Collegiate Church. She was also heard in a mission concert on November 27. Her December engagements began with a concert in Brooklyn, on December 2. On December 11, the soprano sang at a musicale given at the Lucerne, and December 13 and 15 she was heard at New York concerts. After the New Year, Mrs. Maley will sing in recital on the last Tuesdays in January, February and March. She has also been engaged to assist at three musicales to be given at the Atelier Building by Mary Hill Brown, pianist.
170Ida Gresselli a Talented Pianist.
171Ida Grasselli, who has studied in Rome with Sgambati and Cesi, and is most highly recommended by both of her famous masters, is now sojourner in New York. Miss Grasselli played recently at a musicale at the residence of Mrs. Thomas B. Whitney, 208 Madison avenue, and from all accounts her playing won only words of praise. Before leaving Rome, Miss Grasselli gave a farewell concert, before many people of prominence. She is a graduate of the Academie of Saint Cecilia. Besides the letters from Sgambati and Cesi, Miss Gresselli has other credentials that rank her with the most notable young pianists of her country.
173Mlle. Walther Charmed With American Voices.
174Madeleine Walther, a singer and teacher who recently arrived in New York from abroad, is most enthusiastic over the quality of the American voices that she has tried. Mlle. Walther is having good success in forming classes, and, doubtless, something of interest will be heard later on when she has pupils to introduce to the public.
176Recitals for Two Violins by the Petschnikoffs.
177About the middle of January Alexander Petschnikoff and Mrs. Petschnikoff will give a joint recital in Mendelssohn Hall. The artists will play a number of interesting works for two violins, and Mr. Petschnikoff will add solos to the program.
