1insight. The technic is there at command, but one never thinks of that in this connection. The unusual ideas are served up intact, quietly, with none of the personal element, no thought of anything save the loving service rendered by one composer to the other. The audience felt and appreciated this and rewarded the modest artist enthusiastically.
3On the same evening the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave the fourth concert of its Cambridge series in Sanders Theater (Howard College), with Heinrich Gebhard as soloist.
5Clara Tippett's popular studio has become the regular rendezvous for Boston's talented composers, as that is where they all gather to discuss the new compositions and musical matters in general. As Mrs. Tippett holds a unique place in the musical life of this city, both through her high artistic standing and sympathetic womanly qualities, it is a foregone conclusion that these informal Friday evening meetings are bound to become an added center for the promulgation of the highest musical ideals. Aside from her artistic social activities, Mrs. Tippett has had a most successful teaching season. Miss Horne, her assistant and artist pupil, filled most creditably a recent concert engagement in Brockton, and sang very successfully at the College Club on Monday, in which another pupil of Mrs. Tippett also took part.
7The fifteenth pair of Boston Symphony concerts, under Max Fiedler, contained two numbers only—the Bruckner symphony in E major, No. 7, and Chadwick's sinfonietta in D major, played for the first time at these concerts.
9The coming events eagerly anticipated by Boston's musical public are the recital by Fritz Kreisler February 24 and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra concert, Gustav Mahler, conductor, on February 26.

21The recent successful appearance of Anna A. Cambridge, soprano, at the performance of "Paradise Lost" in Worcester resulted in a unanimous call to the soprano position of the Plymouth Church of that city. As Miss Cambridge is a pupil of the Hubbard Studios, Boston, she will be a talented addition to the other pupils of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard now filling many of the prominent Worcester church positions.

58The piano recital given by Josef Lhévinne on Saturday afternoon at the Goodwyn Institute, under the auspices of the Beethoven Club, was one of the most interesting and enjoyable ever heard here and was listened to by an audience that taxed the capacity of the hall. The program was a varied one, and enabled the artist to show his versatility. The tremendous applause following each number evidenced the enjoyment of the audience, and in response to insistent demands Mr. Lhévinne was most generous in his responses to encores. The program included works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rubinstein, Schubert, Massenet and Liszt.
60On Thursday, February 10, the second concert of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra will be given in the Lyceum Theater. The soloist will be Elaine De Sellem, contralto. As Miss De Sellem comes highly recommended, she will doubtless add much to the artistic success of the concert.

In addition to the Theodore Thomas Orchestra the following soloists will be heard: Corinne Rider-Kelsey, Janet Spencer, Dan Baddoe, Marion Green, Fritz Kreisler, Bruno Stein-del, Tilly Koenen and Olga Samaroff. In order to expedite the sale of season tickets, the club has offered prizes, among them a Steinway grand piano. The contest promises to be a lively one.
