1GOOD PROGRAMS HEARD IN SYRACUSE.
2Syracuse, N. Y., December 15, 1906.
3The first concert of the Liederkranz of this season, took place at the Alhambra, last Monday evening. Albert Kuenzlen conducted, and the excellent singing of the club is, in a great measure, due to his drilling. Angerer's difficult "Verrauscht Zerronnen," the song which enabled the Liederkranz to win the first price at the Sängersfest in Troy, last June, was the chief choral number of the evening. Frieda Stender, who was to have been a soloist at this concert, contracted a cold, and her place was filled by Maude Clark, a harpist, of Syracuse. Hans Kronold, the New York 'cellist, was the other soloist, and he proved himself an artist of exceptional merit. The program was varied and excellent.
5Helen Butler Blending and Gertrude Woodhull arranged the program for the Morning Musicale, last Wednesday. Piano numbers by Henselt and MacDowell were played by Laura Single. The Saint-Saëns trio, for piano, violin and 'cello, enlisted the talents of Miss Woodhull, Miss King and Aurin C. Chase. The first movement from Saint-Saëns' piano concerto, in G minor, was played by Louis Baker Phillips, with Professor Hibbard at the second piano. Miss Butler sang the air, "Thou Charming Bird," from "The Pearl of Brazil."
7In organ, piano and vocal numbers, the following students of the music department of the College of Fine Arts (Syracuse University), were heard at a concert last Wednesday: Margaret Amelia Briesen, Ethel May Wentworth, Marion Williams, Edith Stewart Hodge, Estelle Augusta Ga Nun, Lottie Ethel Connell, Birnie Pettigrew and Elsie Ann Fox.
9Pupils of Arthur W. Elting united in a concert Thursday evening, at Mr. Elting's studio, on Townsend street.
11H. Morton Adkins, baritone at the First Baptist Church and an instructor in the College of Fine Arts at the University, gave a recital at Crouse College last evening. Mr. Adkins has a pleasing, well controlled voice of good range and power. Since his last appearance his voice has taken on a greater solidity and more mature development. In the Italian, German and French songs he displayed equal facility. Harry Leonard Vibbard gave material assistance to the singer by his inspiring accompaniments.
13There is an opening for a good contralto at the First Presbyterian Church for next season. Marie Lindemer Davis, for several years contralto at this church, has been studying in Europe for the past year, and writes to Syracuse friends that her teachers have advised her to sing soprano parts hereafter. She is expected in Syracuse about the middle of this month.
15Mrs. John A. Nichols, Jr., William Alexander Snyder and Richard Grant Calthrop will remain at the First Presbyterian next year. Blanch Atherly Calthrop, of 743 South Crouse avenue, is the organist.
17In reviewing a recent recital, one of the Syracuse dailies explained that, a certain piano concerto was played, "upon two separate pianos." FREDERICK V. BRUNNS.
