17Minneapolis, November 30, 1907.
19The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under Emil Oberhoffer, opened its fifth season before an audience of two thousand, with the following interesting program:
21Overture (Magic Flute) ……………………………………… Mozart
22Symphony No. 4, in F minor …………………………… Tschaikowsky
23Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Scene ………………… Wagner
25Mr. Bispham.
26Das Hexenlied, recitation with orchestra ……………… Schillings
27Mr. Bispham.
28Lyric Suite ……………………………………………………. Grieg
30The symphony was given with delightful clearness and most careful attention to detail, the Grieg suite with daintiness, and the accompaniment to "The Hexenlied" with superb effect. Mr. Bispham's reading was thoroughly enjoyed as well as admired.
32The orchestral association has been incorporated and placed on a permanent basis, and the Sunday afternoon popular concerts began November 17, with Heinrich Hoevel, assistant concertmaster, as soloist.
34A benefit concert was given recently in the Unitarian Church by Helene Paulson, assisted by the Masonic Male Quartet; Eloise Shryock, pianist; William Warvelle Nelson, violinist; D. Alvin Davies, tenor; Edwina Wainman, accompanist. Miss Paulson has a naturally attractive soprano of coloratura character which intended Eastern cultivation and study will undoubtedly develop into something unusually artistic.
36Two violinists have recently made their debut. They were William McPhail, a Minneapolitan, just returned from several years abroad with Sevcik, and Errico Sansone, who has recently become a member of the St. Paul Symphony Orchestra. The former played to an audience of over one thousand at the Baptist Church. He showed excellent results from his years of study, his tone being full and broad, his technic facile and his interpretation extremely promising. Clara Williams sang a couple of numbers with her accustomed art, and Margaret Wilmor furnished efficient accompaniments.
38Errico Sansone inaugurated a series of chamber concerts, under the auspices of the Northwestern Conservatory of Music, at the Unitarian Church. He was assisted by Viva Conver, pianist; Hazel Day, Messrs. Aronson and Erck.
40Monday evening, November 11, Max Bendix appeared, under the auspices of the Minneapolis School of Music, in the school auditorium. The violinists present, who composed the larger part of the audience, thoroughly enjoyed the program, which started with Bach and ranged upward through the old Italian masters to the modern virtuoso school, and ended with the Mendelssohn concerto.
42Bessie Hughes proved an unusually capable pianist.
44The Thursday Musciale gave an interesting program recently, which was composed largely of Grieg compositions. Otto Metzger, a visiting artist, sang two groups of German lieder. The study class is analyzing the works given by the Symphony Orchestra, and Mrs. Fryberger, the energetic president, is giving a series of talks on "How to Appreciate Music," which will be of great value to the associate members, for whom the series is especially intended.
46St. Louis.
48St. Louis, Mo., November 22, 1907.
50At the first concert of the reorganized St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the works played included the Schumann symphony in B flat, the suite, "L'Arlesienne," by Bizet, and the Saint-Saëns violin concerto in B minor. The soloist was the concertmeister, Hugo Olf, who added a Bach fugue as an encore. The new conductor, Max Zach, received a genuine ovation, and there was also a warm welcome for Mr. Olf.
52Charles W. Clark, baritone, gave an interesting program for the Woman's Club some weeks ago. He sang songs by Purcell, Brahms, Schubert and Faure.
54Nathan Sachs played a recital of piano compositions at the Central Wesleyan College, in Warrenton, Mo., November 13.
56Gwilym Miles has made recent appearances in Chicago, Columbus, Milwaukee, Hollins, Va., and in St. Louis with the Union Club and the Knights of Columbus.
58Jean Gerardy and Olive Fremstad were the soloists at the concert of the Amphion Club, given November 11, under the direction of Alfred Robyn.
60The Bendix Trio performed for the Morning Choral Club at the Woman's Club November 16. The members are: Max Bendix, violin; Jeanette Durno Collins, piano, and Day Williams, cello. The Beethoven trio in D major, some violin solos and the Schutt suite for violin and piano, completed the list of works, all of which were performed in artistic manner.
62A MacDowell evening at the Woman's Club enlisted the co-operation of Clara Meyer, Elisa Froelich, Stella Holloway, G. H. Sheffel, P. G. Anton and E. P. Kroeger, in a performance of numbers by this American composer.
64E. P. Kroeger will deliver lectures on the scores, which the Theodore Thomas Orchestra will play in St. Louis this season.
66Tacoma.
68Tacoma, Wash., November 27, 1907.
70Kaethe Pieczonka Walker, a cellist of European reputation who has played in the East, was introduced to music lovers here in recital. She played the Goltermann concerto and other numbers, and her playing was highly artistic. Madame Walker is to become a resident of the Pacific Coast. She is very welcome. Robert Welsbach, at the piano, and Mr. Welty, a newcomer, at the organ, added to the interest of Madame Walker's concert, which took place in Temple of Music Hall.
72The Olive Mead Quartet, of New York, appeared under the auspices of the Ladies' Musical Club, at the Tacoma Theater, on the night of November 14. The program and its performance afforded an evening of rare pleasure to the members of the club and their guests.
74At the last regular meeting of the Ladies' Musical Club, Agnes Quinn, lyric soprano, was the bright attraction. The remainder of the music was contributed by Mrs. J. W. J. Craig, the Misses Bryant, McLean, Muehlenbruch and Schwinn, Bradley, and Mr. Newell and Mrs. Huntington.

78Denver.
80Denver, Colo., November 27, 1907.
82Robert Slack turned many away from Trinity Methodist Church on November 14, when he treated Denverites to a memorable evening with Calvé and her company. Mrs. John F. Campion, one of Denver's social leaders, had Madame Calvé as a guest, and showed the diva the marvelous mysteries of our smelters. Lloyd d'Aubigné, the tenor, entertained his cousins, Lieutenant and Mrs. Ward Dalbney, of Fort Logan, after the concert. Many were present from Colorado Springs, Boulder, Greeley and Fort Logan.
84The Tuesday Musical Club gave the first of its series on November 5, presenting as soloist Mrs. Rider-Kelsey, whose artistic work pleased the audience greatly. The work of the club was not up to its usual standard, and the cause was, no doubt, insufficient heed to the admonitions of the competent director, Hattie Louise Sims. Jenet Griffith pleased in her incidental solo.
86Wilberforce J. Whitman is hard at work with the big chorus at Trinity Methodist Church. The work in preparation (for presentation Christmas week) is "The Messiah."
88A program of compositions by the late Edvard Grieg was presented at the last meeting of the Symphony Club. The Grieg concerto was played by Mrs. F. W. Smith, Miss Tausig playing the orchestral accompaniment on a second piano. The other numbers included piano music and songs, contributed by Miss Reacher, Mrs. Harlem, Miss Woeber, Miss Young, Miss Henry and Miss Free. Miss Hallack read a paper.
90The "MacDowell afternoon" given on November 16 by Mrs. J. H. Smiszaert proved a treat for her music loving friends.
92An Agramonte pupil, Heloise Northrup, has lately returned to Denver and is being heard frequently in public. At the last meeting of the Wednesday Current Events Club she pleased in the following songs: "Sonnet d'Amour," Thomé; "L'Esclave," Lalo; "Si mes vers," Hahn, and "Deux Lieu," Delbruck.
94On November 16 the second of a series of students' musicales was given by Dolce Grossmayer at her residence, 652 Sherman avenue.
