1Ralph Rowland was down from Milwaukee early in December, making his Chicago debut before the Madrigal Club. He is one of the leading teachers and soloists of his city, and experienced in the duties of a concertmaster.
3The Spiering Quartet played Beethoven's E flat Major Op 74 and was assisted by the pianist, Hans Von Schiller, in Schumann's quintet Op. 44, same key, by-the-way. The next concert takes place on the 27th, at which time two F major quartets will be heard, one by Karl Bendl (first time) and Schubert's Op. 166.
5Home For The Thomas Orchestra
7A very great advance will have been made by musical Chicago when the Thomas Orchestra gets located in its permanent home, which it is likely to do as soon as the building can be erected. Building lots have been secured on Michigan Boul. The vice-president, Mr. D. H. Burnham, says:
9It is proposed to construct a hall perfectly adapted to the requirements of the orchestra, and inasmuch as the project will be complicated by no other consideration there is every reason to expect success.
10The hall will be large enough to seat 2,500 people at the maximum. In a space larger than that many of the finer effects are lost and nicety of work is sacrificed to the necessity for a large volume of sound.
12Hand Made Music and Violins
14Made violins are always to be preferred to the machine product. Made violins are made to play on, while the others are only made to sell. And the person who buys is also sold. The violin will not even bend to popular demand for graphophone bombardments, and is sincerely opposed to pianolas and all mechanical contrivances. Art is only attained by work.
16Two Valuable Violins
18And other relics, were shipped from the Philippines two years ago by Harry Bozzart, a bandman on one of the steamships. The trunk containing the instruments was not heard from again until last month, when it turned up at San Francisco, covered with labels and the contents in good condition. It had traveled thousands of miles.
