1ABOUT ARTISTS AND TEACHERS.
3Joseph Pache, musical director of the Baltimore and York, Pa., oratorio societies, was in New York last week seeking acquaintance with new vocal talent. Among those who received more than usual attention from Mr. Pache were Eva Mylott, an English contralto, recently arrived in this country; Lillia Snelling, contralto; Frank Ormsby, tenor, and Frank Croxton, basso.
5Florence Hinkle, Gertrude M. Stein, Daniel Beddoe and Frederic Martin are the soloists for the concert which the Baltimore Oratorio Society will give in Baltimore, March 21. The program will include Verdi's "Requiem" and Brahms' "Song of Fate."
7Mrs. A. P. Conrad, soprano at the Brown Memorial Church, Baltimore, is coming to New York to live.
9Birdyce Blye is an uncommonly charming woman. She has many wise thoughts on musical and other topics, however, and conversation with her is a great pleasure. She speaks warmly of the necessity of teaching phrasing to children, not merely suggesting and talking about it, but exaggerating the suggestion to impress their attention, and not passing it till such sentence making is made absolutely distinct and clear. She could not touch upon a more important topic or one more neglected. She is deeply interested, not always in herself, but in the music movement and in the success of musicians. Among those she praises for active work well placed is Jessie Heizer, of Pearl street, Sioux City, Ia., a piano teacher and musician.
11May Vincent Whitney, of Plainfield, N. J., gave a piano pupils' recital in Newark recently, assisted by Helen Meeker Whitney, mezzo-soprano. Marguerite Barkalew, Elizabeth Burr, Martine Weeks, Inez Hedden, Frances Rittenhouse, Elizabeth Martin, Mary Clarke, Edith Hamilton, Helen George, Muriel Collins and Myra Emmons played.
13Mary C. Wheeler, of New York, teaches piano one day in the week in Montclair. Miss Wheeler is deeply interested in the future of one of her pupils of rare character and gift, Anna Kirsling by name, who is making strenuous efforts to fit herself for professional life. She is a most satisfactory pupil. Bach preludes, the Heller 47 series, Grieg and Jensen, with harmony, are now being studied by Miss Kirsling.
15Edward Johnson was recently the lion of the hour at a reception given by Pauline H. Clark, the Boston contralto, in her new studios on Boylston street. The "gallant tenor" lends himself gracefully to social entertainment as well as to the professional platform.
17Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Gunther are both singing in choirs. Mrs. Gunther is to sing in the Scotch Presbyterian Church, on Ninety-sixth street, after May 1. Mr. Gunther has renewed his engagement with the Forty-second Street Presbyterian Church.

21Tonkünstler Society Meeting.
23Edwin Grasse, the violinist; Lina Anton-Roebbelen, pianist, and Rose O'Brien, soprano, were the artists announced to appear at the Tonkünstler Society meeting held at Assembly Hall, in East Twenty-second street, near Fourth avenue, last night (Tuesday, March 19). Mrs. Roebbelen and Mr. Grass played the Goldmark suite in E major, op. 11, and the "Kreutzer" sonata by Beethoven.
25Miss O'Brien sang songs by Brahms, Schubert and Liszt, accompanied by Alexander Rihm.
27The Grienauer 'Cello Quartet.
29The Grienauer 'Cello Quartet, composed of four 'cellists, was founded by Karl Grienauer this winter to meet the ever increasing demand for first class novelties. Musical societies everywhere are clamoring for something new in high class chamber music, and this quartet will satisfy the taste of the most critical, as well as music lovers in general.
31The musical public of America owes Karl Grienauer deep gratitude for his untiring effort in the cause of musical art. He is always interesting in his 'cello recitals, and even better things may be expected from him in the future.
33Grienauer does not belong to the class of artists who, however good their intentions, so often overburden the capacity of their audience by giving them too heavy programs. He possesses the great gift of arranging programs in which every number increases interest. The Jacksonville Daily Journal says: "Had Karl Grienauer chosen to play throughout the night he would have had his entire audience remain."
35Hamlin's New York Recital, Monday Afternoon, March 25.
37An event of extraordinary interest to all singers and vocal students in New York and vicinity will be the song recital which George Hamlin, the tenor, will give at Mendelssohn Hall, Monday afternoon, March 25.

59Bookings for Charles Norman Granville.
61Dora Becker, violinist, who made her reappearance on the concert stage at Mendelssohn Hall Tuesday evening, March 19, was assisted by Charles Norman Granville, baritone. Other dates booked for Mr. Granville are: Trinity Church, Hoboken, where he will sing in Maunder's "From Olivet to Calvary" on March 24; on March 29 (Good Friday), he will sing the baritone part in Rogers' "The Man of Nazareth," at Elizabeth, N. J.; on April 4, Mr. Granville will appear with the Harlem Oratorio Society (A. Y. Cornell, director), in a work to be announced later. Besides numerous concert dates, Mr. Granville has a large and rapidly increasing class of pupils, many of whom are occupying church positions of importance. The following criticism appeared after a recent appearance in song recital:
63A large audience was present at the third number in Miss Sayles' series of musicales at the Norwich Club. The singer was Charles Norman Granville, who has won many admirers by his previous appearance here, and the program was one of unusual interest and excellence. Indeed, it is not often that so many first class songs are grouped together for a single performance. Mr. Granville, whose voice has gained in strength and richness, entered upon his task with due seriousness and succeeded admirably in revealing the true meaning of the various songs.—Norwich Evening Bulletin.
65Those Opera Rumors.
67Offhand, can you tell who is going to sing with whom next season?—The New York Mail.
