1Music Notes From Coast to Coast

3cert. The program for the subscription concert included a Negro Rhapsody by Rubin Goldmark, who was the guest of the orchestra at the concert. So generous was the response of the guarantors of the orchestra, that the season closed with a cash balance in the bank. Mr. Shavitch has been re-engaged for the coming year and the management of the orchestra has announced a series of ten subscription concerts at Keith's Theater, and six children's concerts at the Strand Theater.
4Florence Austral, dramatic soprano, appeared in recital under the direction of the Syracuse Recital Commission. She was greeted by a large audience which recalled her time and again.
5The College of Fine Arts, at Syracuse University, announces twelve graduating recitals by its seniors, beginning the latter part of April and running to the first week in June. The advanced students of the music department have appeared in the usual number of recitals, and a number of these same students have appeared on the radio programs, broadcast over the Northern New York chain—Schenectady, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo.
6The Syracuse University men's glee club, which won the New York State contest, sang at the national contest in Carnegie Hall, and placed seventh in the list of fifteen clubs. No doubt, this relatively poor showing was owing to the fact that the club gave two complete programs on the two evenings preceding the contest, one at Mt. Vernon, and the other in New York City.
8The College of Fine Arts announces full courses in music for the summer session, which opens July 2 and closes August 10. All summer courses will be taught by teachers selected from the regular winter staff.

11Wichita, Kans. A truly gala occasion was experienced in Wichita when Schumann-Heink appeared in concert on her farewell tour. Local music lovers turned out en masse to hear the beloved contralto. Assisting her were Katherine Hoffman, accompanist, and Florence Hardeman, violinist. C. M. Casey managed the concert.
12Friends University School of Music has instituted a series of informal student and faculty musicales. The programs are being arranged by Alan Irwin, head of the piano department.
13Three Wichita women's choruses are participating in the state contest, conducted as a part of the annual convention of the Kansas State Federation of Music Clubs. These choruses are: Saturday Afternoon Musical Club chorus, conducted by Roy Campbell; Wichita Musical Club Chorus, conducted by Mrs. E. Higginson, and the Monday Singing Club, conducted by Inez Dodds Barbour. Mrs. Richard M. Gray, of Wichita, is president of the Federation of Music Clubs.

16S. Wesley Sears Conducts Stabat Mater
17Dvorak's Stabat Mater was given an excellent rendition on March 28 in St. James Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, by the Choir, augmented by the Trenton Choral Art Society, under the direction of S. Wesley Sears, conductor of both organizations. The congregation listened with a spirit of reverence, as well as musical appreciation, while the beautiful and difficult setting of an old Latin hymn was splendidly sung from start to finish by both soloists and choir. Because of the English adaptation, rather than a translation of the hymn, the music presented many difficulties for the singers and conductor, but these were so well overcome through painstaking rehearsals that the music was sung with technical finish, and the interpretation was musically and marked by the proper spirit of worship. Mr. Sears conducted with the dignity and authority to be expected from a musician of his sterling calibre. He also displayed fine discrimination in his selection of soloists, as the timbre of each voice exactly suited the part scored. They were May Ebery Hotz, soprano; Veronica Sweigart, contralto (guest soloists), and Walter Torr and Russel Strauss, the tenor and bass soloists of St. James Choir. In the singing of Miss Hotz one heard the pure, clear, ecclesiastical tone, and in Miss Sweigart's rendition there was the warmth and color of human sympathy.
18A marked degree of excellence was notable in the opening chorus and in the quartet which followed. The chorus, By Thy Glorious Death and Passion (in form rather like a folk song), was admirably given, while the closing chorus, Let My Soul Be Swiftly Flying, was a fitting climax to the impressive performance. The tenor solo, At Thy Feet In Adoration, with male chorus, was splendidly done, and Mr. Strauss gave a fine rendition of one of the most difficult parts in the composition, May My Heart With Ardor Burn. Cleland Lorch was at the organ and gave sympathetic and prompt support to the choirs.

21Frederick Gunster at Greenville, N. C.
22Frederick Gunster, tenor, appearing on the Artists Course of East Carolina Teachers' College, March 30, delighted a large audience with his singing of classics, American composers and dialect and folk-songs. He was ably assisted by Mary Bertole at the piano.
