JULLIEN'S GRAND VOCAL AND
M• ORCHESTRAL CONCERT,
On THURSDAY, the 27th, and SATURDAY, the 29th instant.
It is most gratifying to Mons. JULLIEN to find that the popu-
larity of his Concerts has so much increased as to enable him for
the first time to visit Liverpool with his complete Orchestra.
JULLIEN, in making the above announcement, wishes to
draw the attention of amateurs of music to the great difference
between the concerts given by him, with an immense orchestra,
composed of instrumental celebrities, brought over at a great
expense from every part of Europe (and acknowledged by the
press and profession to be unequalled), and those with only a
piano-forte accompaniment, or an orchestra extemporised for
the occasion; and at the same time to the striking contrast pre-
sented in the moderate prices of admission at his entertain-
ments, when compared with those or other musical perform-
ances, to which it is unnecessary for him to allude further.
While employing twenty years of his professional life in uniting
together and perfecting such an assembly of artists as that
which be has the honour to direct, for the execution of the
master pieces of orchestral music, M. JULLIEN has been no less
anxious to elevate the vocal department of his concerts to the
same high standard as the instrumental. With this view he has
secured the exclusive services of the celebrated Prima Donna,
MADAME GASSIER,
who has pursued a career of unexampled success in Spain and
Italy, as well as at the Imperial Italian Opera, in Paris—a success
which has been triumphantly confirmed in the Metropolis and
Provinces of Great Britain. Madame Gassier's voice is of pure
soprano quality, and ranges three notes higher than that of any
other soprano living. Her execution has been acknowledged by
the most distinguished musicians and professors of singing to be
unsurpassed.
After having most carefully beard Madame Gassier in many
Concerts and Operas, M. Jullien cameto the conclusion that what
had been said and written relative to her talent was more than
justified ; and with these considerations he decided to secure, at
any sacrifice, her exclusive services, both for his Concerts in Lon-
don and in the Provinces of the United Kingdom. M. Jullien
will, therefore, have the honour of presenting to his Patrons and
the Amateurs of Music in Liverpool the soprano who, amongst
her contemporaries, is allowed to have approached the nearest to
perfection of vocalisation.
The programme will be selected from the works of the great
masters, and include M. Jullien's last new work,

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL QUADRILLE,
pronounced by the entire London press to be his best composi-
tion, and performed nightly with increasing success, at the Royal
Italian Opera, Covent Garden, before the most fashionable and
crowded audiences ever assembled within the walls of that na-
tional establishment.
