1CHICAGO, January 11, 1908.
3The fourteenth program of Theodore Thomas Orchestra was one constructed along purely classic lines, beginning with the overture to "Les Abencerrages," by Cherubini; followed by concerto, No. 1, F major, by Bach; the Haydn G major ("Oxford") symphony, and closing with the extremely difficult and brilliant "Sappho" overture, by Karl Goldmark.
5Richard Buhlig will be the soloist with the Theodore Thomas Orchestra on January 17-18, playing the Liszt A major concerto, No. 2.
7Charlotte Maconda gave a song recital before the Amateur Musical Club on January 6.
9A joint recital is announced by Walter Spry, pianist, and Alexander Krauss, violinist, for January 18, at the Walter Spry School.
11A very artistic brochure has just been issued by the Anna Groff-Bryant Institute of the New School of Vocal Arts. In this commentary on the work of the school there is reviewed the theories and discoveries of the founder, Mrs. Bryant, the methods adopted, reviews of the academic course and normal course, and many interesting reflections on the ways and means in general employed by the staff of teachers all under the personal supervision of Mrs. Bryant.
13Edna Richolson gave the musical program at the meeting of the West End Woman's Club on January 3. Miss Richolson, who is a very talented young pianist, played scherzo (from op. 5), by Brahms; "Arietta," and two "Etudes de Concert," by Rafael Joseffy; "Frühlingsnacht," by Schumann-Liszt, and "Rakoczy Marche," by Liszt.
15An attractive circular has just been issued by Carl Voelcker, who has had much success in the coaching of German lieder and opera.
17One of the most artistic and scholarly violin recitals of the season was played by Fritz Kreisler, at Music Hall, January 8. Analyses of the individual numbers composing Mr. Kreisler's program would be superfluous, as the entire list bore the impress of the masterful interpreter, whose playing is distinguished by superlative tonal quality, individuality, and a finish of technic all embracing. There is a dignified earnestness, an authority, in all Kreisler's interpretations, a bigness and a subtle understanding, that place him among the few modern masters of the violin art. His program was as follows: Sonata, A major, by Handel; sonata, G minor, No. 1, by Bach, for violin alone; "Andantino," by Martini; "Siciliano and Rigaudon," by Franceur; "La Precieuse," by Couperin; "Minuet," by Porpora; "Variations," by Tartini; "Canzonetta," by Dvorák; "Caprice," by Wieriaowski, and the "Twentieth Caprice," by Paganini.
19Francis Rogers, baritone, was heard in song recital at Music Hall, January 9, in a program of varied proportions, well interpreted. Having good command of his voice, of a pleasing personality, and displaying a certain poetic charm in all his work, Mr. Rogers is one of the most artistic of the younger baritones now before the public. Mrs. Edwin N. Lapham acted as accompanist for Mr. Rogers.
21The third in the series of four morning musicales arranged by Mrs. Edwin N. Lapham and Lawrence Rea was given Saturday, January 11, at Orchestra Hall Foyer. The program was one of more than usual interest composed entirely of Tchaikowsky numbers as follows: Trio, op 50, played by Hugo Heermann, Bruno Stendel and Mrs. Lapham; aria from "Eugen Onegin," and seven solos by Mr. Rea. These concerts have been among the most enjoyable and artistic affairs of the musical season, and no doubt will become numbered among the fixed yearly events from all indications so far this year. Mr. Rea, who is much in demand in social and semi-social musicales, is the possessor of a baritone voice of a fine, resonant quality, admirably trained and responding to every demand that his good musicianship calls for. January 18 the final musicale will be given, when the program will be op. 3, trio, by Arthur Foote, and songs by American and English composers.
23Skovgaard, the noted violinist, played at Valparaiso, Ind., on January 9; at Lafayette, Ind., January 10; at Hamilton, Ohio January 11, and at West Salem, Ohio, January 13.
25Walter Spry, who recently appeared in recitals in New York City and Boston, met with unqualified success. In New York Mr. Spry played before the M. T. A., and with Ludwig Marum, violinist, gave some chamber music recitals; in Boston, Mr. Spry played before the Faelten Pianoforte School; on Thursday evening, January 9, at Huntington Chambers Hall. In Boston Mr. Spry was especially successful and received the following comment of praise in a letter from Carl Faelten, head of Faelten Pianoforte School: "I wish to write you just a few lines repeating in writing what I told you on Thursday evening, namely, that I was delighted with your playing and feel greatly indebted to you for your favoring our school in this way. Your playing is so sound and at the same time so full of artistic freedom as to exactly suit my taste and to form a valuable illustration to our students. I hope you will repeat your visit from time to time."
27A very interesting concert was given at Cable Hall on January 7 by Floritta P. Chalmers, soprano; Zetta Gay Whitson, violinist, and Palma Anderson, pianist.
29The Bush Temple Conservatory announces two chamber music recitals to be given in its Recital Hall by Harold von Mickwitz, pianist, and Ludwig Becker, violinist, January 17 and March 6. The program for the first recital will be Mozart sonata, in E minor; Beethoven sonata, in A minor, and Schubert introduction and rondo, B minor, op. 70; of the second recital: Schumann sonata, A minor; Gade sonata, D minor, and Goldmark suite, in G major.
