24The first concert given this season by members of the Chicago Musical College faculty was in every way a pronounced success; with Emile Sauret, Rudolph Ganz and the Thomas Orchestra all on one program it could not have been less an event than it was, and it would have been well nigh impossible to surpass it in any musical center of Europe. Everybody (musical) was there—the others were at the Horse Show. At least, some people call it a Horse Show. But whatever the show was, it did not prevent a large audience from gathering in the Auditorium on the night of Oct. 27th. The vocal numbers were not over well rendered, but when Rudolph Ganz appeared and played two movements of Massenet's piano concerto in E flat, with the Thomas men reading his orchestration, written out in a few hours (the parts having failed to arrive in time from Europe), the enthusiasm of the vast audience was unbounded. Sauret was greeted, in this, his debut as a resident artist, with a long and hearty applause. There was more than one pair of ears ready to detect a flaw in this master's playing of the Saint Saens B minor concerto, but a few strokes of the bow revealed power and warmth, combined with old time accuracy, that left nothing for the critics to do but settle back and listen to the beautiful melodies. Three encores were hardly enough to pacify the enraptured audience.
26At the first 1903-1904 Saturday recital given by the American Conservatory Herbert Butler played the Saint Saens Rondo Capriccioso and the first movement of Howard Brockway's Sonata, the piano part in the latter being taken by Howard Wells. This recital was given Oct. 3; two days later Mr. Butler started on a concert tour under the management of the Ridpath bureau, expecting to return Nov. 1st.
28Jan Van Oordt played the difficult first movement of the A minor concerto by Vieuxtemps Oct. 17 at Kimball Hall, and in spite of the stuffy hall being crowded every tone came true, even at the extreme end of the hall. The occasion attuned our ears for the first of his four previously mentioned recitals, at which time (Nov. 12, Kimball Hall) he will play three old concertos, by Bach, Mozart and Viotti.
30The Sauret Trio and Spiering Quartet, both connected with Dr. Ziegfeld's college, will each give three chamber evenings at Music Hall during the present season. The quartet, now in its tenth year is to be heard Nov. 10, Jan. 12 and March 8. The alternating months we shall have the pleasure of hearing the new organization, whose members are Emile Sauret, violin, Rudolph Ganz, piano, and Bruno Steindel, cello. The dates for the trio are Dec. 15, Feb. 2 and April 5.
