1NATIONAL FEDERATION OF MUSICAL CLUBS.
3OFFICE OF THE PRESS SECRETARY,
4MRS. JOHN OLIVER, 893 POPULAR AVENUE,
5MEMPHIS, TENN., November 15, 1907.
7A number of clubs in the National Federation of Musical Clubs will hear some of the big artists at their concerts and musicales this season. The programs of the Morning Musical, of Syracuse, N. Y., will be especially attractive. The outline of the work is as follows: "American Composers"; "Classical and Modern Opera Compared"; "Christmas Music"; "Dance Music"; "Folk Music"; "Water Music"; "Spring Music," and "Easter Music." This will give the club great choice and variety, and each member has been allowed to signify the program on which she prefers to appear; every active member appears once each year either in solo or concerted number. This club will bring Madame Fremstad and Signor Bonci of the Conried Opera Company, and Madame Samaroff, pianist. They will be supported by the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra of forty musicians, directed by Conrad Becker, of the University. The Morning Musical made the organization of this orchestra possible and maintains it by giving three concerts each year.
9The Eurydice Club, of Toledo, Ohio, is a thriving musical organization of two branches. The elder or choral music, organized in 1891, enters this winter upon its seventeenth season and will give as usual two subscription concerts, assisted by artists from abroad. In their long and successful series of entertainment they have presented artists of national and international reputation, such as Muriel Foster, George Hamlin, Anita Rio, Glenn Hall, Corinne-Rider-Kelsey and many others. Throughout the history of the choral department its director has been Helen Beach Jones, and under her leadership the concerts have reached a high degree of artistic merit. The solo department of this club is ten years younger than the choral, having been organized with a view of associating with the chorus, local instrumental and vocal soloists. While still in its childhood, this branch of the club is rapidly working its way to prominence. This season for the first time the solo department is offering an associate membership ticket for two dollars, giving admission to the eight club programs and three or more evening recitals. The plan of study used by the club is practically the same as used by the National Federation of Musical Clubs. Mrs. F. R. Persons is president of the Eurydice Club and has a strong official board as assistants.
11The Choral Club of Lexington, Miss., has added two departments to the regular choral study, history and piano study. The club furnishes a quartet choir, with organist, for the Jewish Temple at their regular monthly meetings; every member of the club serves her turn at this work and the remuneration is the same as that paid the student of the Cincinnati Conservatory.
13The Amateur Musical Club, of Chicago, has just given its three hundred and sixty-seventh concert in Music Hall, with an artistic program arranged by the board of directors, assisted by George Nelson Holt. One of the most attractive numbers on the program was rendered by Stella Benzion. Miss Benzion is one of Chicago's young artists who has every prospect of becoming a violinist of wide reputation. November 4 the concert was devoted to French music and the Debussy numbers were especially interesting as an illustration of the new French school and its peculiar harmonies. Mrs. Holt, who appeared on this program, was greatly appreciated, as was also Miss Forbes, who has a beautiful high soprano voice and produces the clear liquid tones so rarely heard among the amateurs. Miss Forbes has recently returned from Paris, where she was a pupil of Jean de Rezke.
15The Corsicana, Tex., Music Club has opened its class, with the plan of study as adopted by the Federation. They are greatly interested in the work, prompt in attendance and enthusiastic in their efforts to have a progressive, instructive organization.
17The Beethoven Club, of Memphis, will give their first artists' concert of this season on November 21 at the Lyceum Theater, when Corinne Rider-Kelsey, Janet Spencer, Herbert Witherspoon and Edward Johnson will be the attraction. The club gave its opening concert on Saturday afternoon, November 2, with a local talent program in charge of Mrs. Charles Miller.

21Debut of the Michelson Trio.
23Henrietta Michelson, pianist; Hugo Riesenfeld, violinist; Louis Heine, cellist, are the members of the new Michelson Trio, which made its debut in Mendelssohn Hall Tuesday night of last week. A highly musical audience greeted the artists and manifested sincere delight in the offerings of the evening. Three trios were played showing marked contrasts in style. The Beethoven trio in E flat major, Op. 70, was followed by the seldom heard Brahms "Horn" trio, and the Napravnik trio in G. minor, op. 24, ended the interesting scheme. Herman Duthschke, of the New York Philharmonic Society, played the horn in the Brahms work. Considering the fact that it was the first concert, the ensemble was good, and all listeners were impressed by the seriousness of the musicians. At the second concert, January 22, trios by Mozart and Schumann, and the beautiful "Forellen" quartet by Schubert will be performed.
25The Bremen Teachers' Singing Association (under the direction of its conductor, Prof. C. Panzner) lately visited Aix-les-Bains, where several grand concerts were given. Large audiences extended a hearty welcome to the foreign guests, whose excellent performance of a varied and most interesting program created a profound impression.
