2BROOKLYN, May 31, 1909. one of two readings
4Brooklyn will have more opera and more orchestral concerts—that has been settled. As previously announced, the Metropolitan Opera Company will give twenty performances at the Academy of Music during the next season, beginning Monday evening, November 8. The Brooklyn Institute is again to stand as sponsor for the coming of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the New York Symphony Orchestra. The Institute will also undertake a series of orchestral concerts for young people. Some years ago this was tried, but the experiment failed; however, there are more young people in Brooklyn now, and so, perhaps, better results may follow. Besides the series of concerts by the Boston Symphony, New York Symphony and Young People's orchestras, prominent and wealthy women of the borough have formed a committee for the support of concerts in Brooklyn by the New York Philharmonic Society under the direction of Gustav Mahler. The Brooklyn Institute is not interested in these concerts, but this ought to offend no one; Brooklyn is big enough and rich enough to maintain all of these high grade musical attractions.
6An excellent pupils' concert crowded out of the Brooklyn news last week for lack of space was that given by the talented children and young people studying at the Steinbruch Musical Institute, at 206 Eighth avenue. The concert took place at Memorial Hall, on Flatbush avenue, Saturday evening, May 22. Hugo Steinbruch, the director of the institute bearing his name, has accomplished wonders in a few years, for, in addition to his school in Brooklyn, he has a flourishing branch at 725 High street, Elizabeth, N. J., where Mr. Steinbruch is the musical conductor of a leading club. As at the annual concert in Brooklyn last year, Mr. Steinbruch had engaged an orchestra made up of professionals engaged in the New York orchestras. This orchestra assisted the Steinbruch pupils in the concerted numbers. These included fragments from the following piano concertos: Mozart in D minor, Weber in F minor, Hiller in F sharp minor and Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capriccioso," the solo players being Julia Hofaker, Millie Braun, Emily Braun and Otilie Reuter. Florence Rue, a young violinist, played the solo in the Vieuxtemps "Fantaisie Caprice" with the orchestra. Charles Herbert, tenor, sang a number from "Faust" accompanied by the orchestra. Hugo Boeddinghaus, Herman Steinbruch, Harry Egan and Rolf Samson, four young violinists, played "L'Arrivée," by Dancla. Piano solos were played by Queenie Rath, Helen Shaw, Anna Lohman, Ethel Beentock, Ruth Killeen, Lillian Langler, Margaret Peters, Ellen Peters, Catherine Cowenhoven, Helen Walther, Errol Richmond, Henry Schultheis, Edgar Duncker, and Eleanor Broeker, who played Weber's "Polacca Brillant." Edward Killeen and Rolf Samson played violin solos. Karolyn and Catherine Cowenhoven played a piano duet and Marie and Eleanor Bawo also played a piano duet. The concert closed with the "Romance" for violins by Wolfermann, for which Mr. Steinbruch made an orchestral arrangement. The young violinists who participated in this ensemble were M. Krauss, Anna Peters, Florence Rue, H. Boeddinghaus, W. Braun, E. Broker, G. Brückbauer, H. Egan, W. Feid, F. Hubach, Edw. Killeen, R. Samson, H. Steinbruch.
8Students at the Fiqué Musical Institute, 128 De Kalb avenue, gave recitals Saturday night, May 29, and Monday night, May 31. The Saturday program was made up of these numbers: Sonata, "Les Adieux," Beethoven, Bessie Sparrow; "Les Sylphes" waltz, Bachmann, Charlotte Ethel Banta; Fantasie on Wagner's "Lohengrin," Dorn; second mazurka, Godard, Augusta Bennett; "Good Bye," Tosti; "Villanelle," Dell' Acqua, May Louise Woodward; eighth "Hungarian" rhapsody, Liszt, Dorothy Boyden; "Entree du Polichinelle," Oscar Strauss, Lily Slafier; "Regeta Veneziana," Liszt, Ethel Slafier; "Polka de Concert," Bartlett, Florence Slafier; "Chanson Provencale," Dell'Acqua, Miss Woodward; impromptu in A flat, Schubert; "God Guard Thee," Nessler-Fiqué, Abraham Bershad; concerto in F sharp minor, Hiller, Sadie Cantor, accompaniment played on second piano by a member of the faculty.

12BALTIMORE, May 30, 1909.
14If credence is to be placed in the statements emanating from the press of Baltimore and New York it would appear as though Miles Farrow would find a few thorns planted in the attractive bed of roses he has elected to lie upon, in accepting the post offered him as organist of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York. Mr. Farrow's friends assure the profession in New York that they will find in him an attractive and accomplished musician and gentleman, and one who will greatly add to the musical life of their city. He will begin his work at the Cathedral September 1.
16Bart Wirtz, the distinguished cellist, who came to this city from Holland four years ago, sailed for Europe May 28, accompanied by his family. During his stay abroad he will play with the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra, give a recital with his father in The Hague, his father being the principal pianist in the conservatory there, and will probably play with the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra in Scheveningen.
18The 1909 series of park band concerts was inaugurated at Druid Hill Park, May 23, and thousands of people thronged that portion of this magnificent section of this city, surrounding the bandstand, to hear Daniel Feldman, conductor, and his thirty-five musicians, play an interesting program in a very acceptable manner.
20If the Baltimore correspondent of The Musical Courier had been endowed with a quadripartite personality on Tuesday evening, May 25, it would have been possible for him to have attended four different concerts. From every known point of view, it is unfortunate that there should be this conflict, more particularly in a field that is not oversown with musical events. The Music Lovers' Association, presided over by Fritz Gaul, as director and pacificator, having adjusted its labor difficulties, gave its third annual concert at Lehmann's Hall. The program was distinctly popular in character, and gave great pleasure to the association's large following. The soloists were: Mrs. Theo. H. Crommer, soprano; J. Vinton Hobbs, baritone; W. H. Rodekurt and M. E. Miller, flutes; Howard P. Orem, clarinet R. E. Smith, cornet, and the director, violin, the latter being prevailed upon at the last moment to play a group of solos, not upon the program. The Germania Männerchor gave a concert at its own hall to defray the expenses of the organization's trip to the Sängertfest, to be held in New York, June 19 to 24. The able director, Theodor Hemberger, was at the drill. The soloists were: Rose Keating, soprano; Harry Gerhold, baritone, and Arthur Conradi, violin, the latter supplying the place of Harry Sokolove, who was ill. An attractive souvenir program bore upon the front page a verse in German by Rev. Dr. Julius Hofman, which, in the vernacular, means "to the singing contest, with happiness and power to win the prize," to which the writer says, Amen! Robert LeRoy Haslup, organist of Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church, and director of music in the State Normal School, gave, with his pupils, many of whom are church organists in the city, an evening of music at the church. This conscientious musician, who also conducts the Baltimore Choral Society, and a singing society in Ellicott City, Md., is doing a fine work here, and is greatly beloved by his extensive clientele. one of two readings

23Florence Jubb, who for some years has been organist and choir director at the First Independent Christ's Church, Baltimore, has been appointed teacher of organ and piano at Heidelberg University, Tiffin, Ohio. It is earnestly hoped that she will be very happy and prosperous in her new field of activity.
25The annual concert by the pupils of the Maryland School for the Blind, Charles H. Bockau, director, was given at Albaugh's Theater, on the evening of May 27. These functions have always been intensely interesting, and the work of these sadly afflicted mortals is little short of marvelous. The proceeds went toward a fund for the benefit of the "adult blind movement."
27C. Bertram Peacock, baritone, was the recipient of the thirty-second Peabody diploma, awarded by the board of trustees May 21. He gave his diploma recital May 27 and proved himself most worthy of the honor thus conferred upon him. His teachers have been, in voice, B. Sylvana Blackman, and in harmony and composition, Howard Brockway. He is a member of the choirs of Christ and St. Paul's P. E. churches and of the Madison Avenue Synagogue.
29Francis Rogers in Paris.
31Francis Rogers, the American baritone, who sailed for Paris some weeks ago, has become popular in the musical world of the French capital. The singer has a lesson every day with King Clark. May 21 he sang at a private musicale; May 22 at the King Clark concert at the Salle Gaveau; May 23 at another private musicale; May 26 at a charity concert at the United States Embassy with Samaroff; May 29 at a song recital with King Clark's pupils. This month Mr. Rogers is to sing at a concert devoted to Campbell-Tipton's compositions.
