1WASHINGTON, D. C., February 4, 1910.
3A delightful and varied program was presented by Liza Lehmann and her assisting artists, Monday afternoon, January 31, at the Columbia Theater, with the following program:
5Song-cycle—"In a Persian Garden," Inez Barbour, Miss Palgrave-Turner, Berrick von Norden, Frederick Hastings; love song, "You Flaunt Your Beauty" (from "The Golden Threshold"—an Indian song-garland), Mr. Von Norden; song—"Thoughts Have Wings," Miss Palgrave-Turner; scene from "The Vicar of Wakefield"—"The Mad Dog," Mr. Hastings; three bird songs—(a) "The Woodpigeon" (b) "The Yellowhammer" (c) "The Owl," Miss Barbour; three songs from "The Daisy Chain"—(a) "If No One Ever Marries Me" (b) "The Swing" (c) "In the World I Build for You," Albert Hole; song cycle—the Nonsense Songs from "Alice in Wonderland." 1. "How Doth the Little Crocodile" (quartet). 2. "Fury Said to a Mouse" (bass). 3. "You Are Old, Father William" (duet, tenor and bass). 4. "Speak Roughly to Your Little Boy" (contralto)—"The Duchess' Lullaby." 5. "Will You Walk a Little Faster?" (quartet). 5a. "Oh! 'Tis Love" (recitative, contralto). 6. "Mock Turtle Soup" (tenor). 7. "The Queen of Hearts" (soprano). 8. "They Told Me You Had Been to Her" (quartet). 9. Epilogue.
7Both solo and ensemble numbers were splendidly sung and brought forth enthusiastic applause. Albert Hole, the boy soprano, sang exquisitely, winning his audience completely. The Nonsense Songs provoked unusual mirth, the singers evidently enjoying them as well as the laughing and applauding listeners.
9Maude Allan appeared at the National Theater, Friday afternoon, February 4, with the Russian Symphony Orchestra. There is a refreshing abandon about Miss Allan's dancing that is irresistible, especially noticeable in "Anitra's Dance" of the Peer Gynt suite, which she was compelled to repeat as well as Mendelssohn's "Spring Song."
11The Heinrich Hammer Symphony Orchestra presented Beethoven's ninth symphony for the first time in this city on Friday afternoon, February 4, at the Belasco. The assisting artists were Flora Jackson, soprano; Anna Brett, alto; Arthur Simpson, tenor; Arthur N. Gardner, bass, and a mixed chorus. For this, the closing matinee of the series, the orchestra and chorus were greeted by a large and representative audience. It is gratifying to note that music lovers have shown their approval of Mr. Hammer's efforts to establish a good resident orchestra for the purpose of presenting the best music.

15Von Dameck Chamber Music Concert.
17Hjalmar von Dameck's annual chamber music concert in Mendelssohn Hall, February 10, found a most appreciative audience of good size present. Works of novel interest were performed, beginning with Bach's concerto in G major, for strings and organ, followed by Sind- ing's serenade for two violins, with piano, and closing with Malling's octet, D minor, for four violins, two violas and two celli. The spirit of brightness was over the whole evening. Bach's scale passage figure in the close of the concerto became a rush of animation. Von Dameck played the celebrated air on the G string (as arranged by Wilhelmj), in the key of which it was originally written, D major, having accompaniment of strings and organ; here his tone was wonderfully sweet and carrying. Two recalls followed for the ten associated music makers. Sind- ing has something definite to say in his serenade, and says it in condensed form; the bright scherzo, the muted strings in the andante, and the complete musical sympathy manifest between von Dameck, Foerstel and pianist Herzog made this highly enjoyable; more recalls testified to the appreciation of the audience. Malling's music, modern but unaffected, with no curious intervals or manufactured scales, took hold well, and showed how music may be melodious throughout, and so retain popular interest. The concert was over at 9.45, sending hearers home with taste for more, invariably the case with the von Dameck chamber music concerts.
19Brockway's Lecture.
21The American composer, Howard Brockway, delivered his first lecture-recital on a symphony program in Syracuse on February 3. The manner in which it was received by a large and enthusiastic audience is shown from the following in the Syracuse Post-Standard of February 4:
23Last evening in Assembly Hall, Howard Brockway, of New York, interested an audience of persons who expect to attend the Boston Symphony concert with a lecture upon the program of that concert, during which he played upon the piano a large part of the scores. Mr. Brockway showed a close acquaintance with the spirit as well as the technical construction of the pieces he discussed, and in particular his rendering of the Beethoven overture which opens the program and of the Arabian Nights' suite which ends it, provoked enthusiastic applause. They were played with delicacy as well as vivacity and boldness.
25A word of approval should be said for this lecture as an example of a sort of education which is far too rare. The difficulties which so many find in the way of enjoying a symphony program are chiefly the difficulties of understanding what the composer and the conductor are driving at, and to have a symphony program preceded by such illuminating glimpses as Mr. Brockway supplies is to remove a large part of these difficulties in advance.
27RUBINSTEIN CLUB MUSICALE.
