22An especially interesting program is to be given on March 25, at faculty hour in the Conservatory Hall. Gertrude Dobyns and Harry Johnson, of the piano department, are to play MacDowell's concerto in D minor. Luella Bender is to read Oscar Wilde's "Fairy Prince," the musical accompaniment to which will be played by Gertrude Dobyns. The following program was rendered at the pupil's recital on March 16, by members of Gertrude Dobyns' class: Allegro con brio (Haydn), Amy Thomas; "Allegretto Innocente" (Haydn), Marion Berrum; sonatine in G (Beethoven), Gray Vogelsang; "Three Voice Invention" (Bach), and etude (Chopin), Louise Chapman; impromptu (Schubert), Rose Lindstrand; improvisation (MacDowell), Deborah Hall; two etudes (MacDowell), Lillian Gronna; "Liebestraum" (Liszt), Hazel Fleener; "Ich Liebe dich" (Grieg) "Menuetto" (Grieg), etude (Chopin), Lottie Ramstad; unfinished symphony (Schubert), two pianos, eight hands, Hazel Fleener, Rose Lindstrand, Louise Chapman and Lottie Ramstad. The conservatory is to give its annual spring cotillion on March 21 in the Conservatory Hall. As usual, the costumes and the favors for the dances will be chosen with a view to carrying out the spring motif. Gertrude Dobyns has the direction of the committee of arrangements, and the club members are looking forward with pleasure to the event which is always the prettiest social affair of the conservatory year. The lecture given by Professor Giddings last week, was listened to with especial interest by the students of the public school music department, dealing as it did with the work for which they are preparing themselves. The lecture was followed by an animated discussion led by Professor Giddings, and participated in by both faculty and students. Through Professor Giddings' kindness, the pupils of the department have had throughout the year the best possible opportunities for observing the public school music work of the Minneapolis schools, as carried on by him. The most important conservatory event of the week ending March 18, was the presentation of the "Servant in the House," by the dramatic school. The play was given as a benefit for the State Sunshine Society on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Shubert. Fredric Karr, the director of the School of Acting, and Geraldine Faro Karr took leading roles, but the majority of the cast were members of the class of 1911. The conservatory was very happy to cooperate with the Sunshine Society in the benefit, as it is of the greatest possible advantage to the dramatic students to have such opportunities to appear in metropolitan productions. Other plays are now in rehearsal and will be given in the near future.

28As a result of the popular vote for the program of the last Sunday afternoon concert of the season, the "Peer Gynt" was the suite found to be the greatest favorite; it received 1,847 against 408 for the "Nut Cracker" suite (Tchaikowsky). The Schubert unfinished symphony had the next highest vote, 1,640, over 523 for the "New World" symphony. From the lists of overtures, waltzes, marches, and miscellaneous pieces, "The William Tell" overture, the Habanera," from "Carmen," with the festival chorus of 200 voices. The program Wednesday evening will be given by Madame Schumann-Heink, with Katherine Hoffmann at the piano. Thursday afternoon the orchestra will give the program introducing the soloists who are to accompany it on the tour. Thursday evening the oratorio "King Olaf" (Elgar), is to be sung by the chorus, accompanied by the orchestra, with Harriet Orendorf, soprano; George Harris, Jr., tenor; Charles F. Champlain, bass baritone, as soloists. Madame Schumann-Heink will be soloist at the Fargo concert. Louise Barnolt, contralto, will take Madame Hess-Sprotte's place as soloist on the tour of the orchestra. Manager Wagner reports that dates for the tour are being filled rapidly. A two days' engagement has been booked for Winnipeg, the concert to be given "under patronage of the Government"; two important patrons are Earl Grey and Sir Thomas MacDonald. On March 28, the orchestra will give a concert in Stillwater. On the occasion of its last appearance there, "The Creation" was given with the Stillwater Choral Society.
30Two of next season's soloists who have been engaged for the appearances with the Symphony Orchestra, are Geraldine Farrar for October 31, and Rudolph Ganz, who will play a Liszt concerto November 13.
32Wednesday afternoon G. H. Fairclough gave the second of this year's series of organ recitals in St. John's. A well filled church testified to the enjoyment that the lovers of organ music have come to expect from these recitals, and surely on Wednesday afternoon no one could have been disappointed. St. John's organ is presided over by a man of such fine musical taste and such masterly understanding of his instrument that it is indeed a privilege to be able to look forward to these recitals from week to week. Mr. Fairclough was assisted this week by Alma Florence Peterson, who sang "Hear Ye, Israel," from "Elijah." The Minnesota chapter of the American Guild of Organists was present at the recital, and after a dinner at the church held its first public service in the evening. The beauty of the impressive service was enhanced by the singing of Mr. Fairclough's well trained choir of the Lenten cantata, "Penitence, Pardon and Peace," by Maunder. An address by the Rev. Theodore Sedgwick, rector of St. John's, was followed by a soprano solo and an anthem. Stanley R. Avery, of St. Mark's Church, Minneapolis, played the organ prelude, "Pastorale," by MacMaster, and for the postlude Paul W. Thorne, organist of Christ Church, played the scherzo from fifth sonata (Guilmant).
34The program for the next concert of the Winona Symphony Orchestra, Carl Ruggles, conductor, to be given March 22, includes "Jubel" overture (Weber), waltz song from "Romeo and Juliet" (Gounod), "Walther's Prize Song" from "Die Meistersinger," three dances from "Nell Gwynn" (German), "Under the Lindens" from "Scenes Alsaciennes" (Massenet), serenade for strings (Pierné), "Beautiful Blue Danube" (Strauss). May 1 the orchestra, with the St. Paul Symphony Orchestra, will give "Faust" in concert form.
36The first of two musicales arranged for the Lenten season was given at the St. Paul Hotel Tuesday afternoon by Lewis Shawe, baritone; Guy Woodard, violin; Rosario Bourdon, cello, and Lima O'Brien, pianist. Lewis Shawe sang two groups of songs, a German and an English, and "Ah, Moon of My Delight," from Liza Lehmann's "Persian Garden," with violin and cello obligato arranged by Mr. Bourdon. The two groups were rendered a trifle monotonous by the fact that the singer seemed unwilling to use even in the more dramatic songs the force which he apparently had in reserve. Mr. Shawe's voice is a high baritone of beautiful quality, which he uses well. His command of pianissimo is especially notable and "In the Time of Roses" (Reichardt) and the Strauss serenade were two of the songs that were sung with excellent effect. The other numbers that made up the program were trio for violin, cello and piano, "Walzer-Märchen" (Schütt), and a violin concerto in A major by Sinding, played by Guy Woodard. All of the accompaniments were played by Lima O'Brien.
