1CINCINNATI.
2Cincinnati, Ohio, June 8, 1907.
3An evening was provided Friday evening, May 31, at the Auditorium by the pupils of Madame Vigna's operatic department in a program of excerpts from various operas. A large audience was present, and the scenes given showed careful preparation both in the vocal performances and the dramatic interpretations. Most of the excerpts were given in costume. The first of these was part of the third act of "The Masked Ball," by Verdi, in which Ethel Irwin sang the Amelia aria, and, with Leslie Chilton as Ricardo, the love duet. Miss Irwin immediately gave evidence of a splendid dramatic voice of wide range and much color. She is among the most promising of the younger sopranos of this city, and sang the Verdi music with a fine effect. Leslie Chilton has a clear, true tenor voice, more lyric than dramatic, and lent efficient aid in the duet.
5Charles Galagher then sang the bass aria from Verdi's "Don Carlos," "Olla Grammai M'aneo," with fine success. He has a deep, resonant voice, under careful control, and sings with intelligence and discretion. Gertrude L. Johnson followed with the Tchaikowsky aria from "Jeanne d'Arc," "Farewell, Ye Valleys," after which Virginia Gottlieb sang the "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "La Favorita." Monica Suttkamp displayed a voice of much promise in her performance of the Jewel Song from "Faust."
7At the close of the program scenes were given from the second act of Weber's "Der Freischutz," with Miss Irwin as Agnes, Marguerite Buland as Annie and Hungard Nielsen as Max. Miss Irwin sang the ensemble numbers effectively and gave the well known "Leise, Leise" aria with no little success. Miss Buland sang the arietta, "Let a Gallant Youth Come," with commendable vocal ability and gracefulness. Mr. Nielsen accomplished his part in the closing trio satisfactorily. Madame Vigna presided at the piano.
9Among the vocal teachers of Cincinnati a pre-eminent rank is held by Tecla Vigna. She has a very unusually large percentage of gifted pupils, pupils who are endowed both with excellent vocal organs and with temperament for music. The schooling which Miss Vigna gives them is of the broadest and most thorough kind, and her students, both in opera and in church music, hold the highest places. On June 1, at the Odd Fellows' Temple, she celebrated her commencement for the season of 1906-1907, and the occasion was memorable as a presentation of the solo features of "The Creation" by three of her graduates. These were Ethel Irwin, Leslie Chilton and Charles Galagher. The various solos of the great oratorio were sung, and also the great trio of the angels. The work sounded not like the singing of mere students, but had the roundness, the freedom, the purity, the poise of artists. A noteworthy feature of the commencement was an address of peculiar fitness and grace by the Rev. Charles Goss of the Avondale Presbyterian Church.
11Ethel Maude Irwin proved herself to be a soprano of rare quality and temperament in the aria "With Verdure Clad." She promises to have a most successful professional career.
13Leslie Key Chilton sang "In Native Worth" after the manner of an artist. He has a tenor voice of the bel canto style and the purest legato. With breadth and dignity Charles Edwin Galagher sang "Now Heaven In Fullest Glory Shone."
15The program in full was as follows: Invocation, Rev. Charles F. Goss; selections from "The Creation," Haydn; trio, "On Thee Each Living Soul Awaits," Ethel Maude Irwin, Leslie Key Chilton and Charles Edwin Galagher; address, Rev. Charles F. Goss; recitativo, "And God Said: 'Let the Earth'"; aria, "Now Heaven In Fullest Glory Shone," Charles Edwin Galagher; recitativo, "And God Created Man"; aria, "In Native Worth," Leslie Key Chilton; recitativo, "And God said: 'Let the Earth'"; aria, "With Verdure Clad," Ethel Maude Irwin; presentation of diplomas, benediction, Rev. Charles F. Goss.
17The School of Music, an important feature of the Summer School of the South, at Knoxville, Tenn., June 25 to August 2, will be under the direction of the College of Music of Cincinnati. The Summer School is under the general management of Prof. P. P. Claxton, of the University of Tennessee, and its guarantors are largely composed of the merchants of Knoxville. Three thousand students were in attendance last year. Some of the best known educators of the North and South will be in attendance and the musical attractions will include recitals by such well known American artists as Maud Powell, Janet Spencer, Herbert Witherspoon and others of equal note. The School of Music will be under the personal direction of Adele Westfield, pianist and teacher of the College of Music, who will have as her associates Madge MacGregor, violinist, who has been teaching the past season at the Conservatory at Connersville, Ind., and Lucy Logan Desha, soprano, who was in charge of the voice department at the Central Female College of Tuscaloosa, Ala., the past year, and has been re-engaged for next year. Southern pupils completing the course at the Summer School will be entitled to try for free scholarship examination in the College of Music of Cincinnati.
19The twenty-ninth academic year of the College of Music closes with the usual commencement exercises in Music Hall, Thursday evening.
