Moszcat..—We notions by the 'East Anglian Daily
Times" that Mr. E. J. Wareham, the youngest son of
the late Mr. W. Wereham, of the Fancy Stationery
Establishment, High-street, Wimberne, and formerly
pupil of Mr. Whitehead Smith, organist of the
Minder, is making gratifying progress as • 11268101•11,
and the above-named paper speaks in flattering terms
of his ability as a pianists as well sas conductor.
Noticing • grand evening concert at Woodbridge. the
"Times " says :—" For some years put, in spite of
considerable kcal talent, and a high appreciation of
music amongst the leadieg families of the town and
neighbourhood, concerts have not paid, as their pro-
moter' have found out, and thus their number has
not been numerous. But the formati in of the Choral
Society, state two years since , encouraged the hope
that • new start was being made, and that • few
musical treats were in 'tore for jays to come. The
concert on Tuesday evening was the first that has been
arranged since the formation of the society, and the
success which has attended this pelformanor, is most
encouraging. Since the residence of Mr. Edwin J.
Wareham In Woodbridge, music has been more highly
cultivated than before, sad the manner in which this
gentleman fulfilled the duties of conductor at the
concert, stamps him as being a muelcian of n, mum
order. Days before the concert cams off, the seats,
all of them reserved, were taken, and thus when the
conductor took up his place on the rostrum, baton In
hand, the audience was everything that could be
fleshed. Most of the leading families were rep's.
seated, and Mr. Wareham was greeted with applause.
The soloists were—soprano, mho „lona Jones; tenor.
Mr. G. King Smith; violin' Mr. T. R. Frannie I
violoncello, Mr. Price; and piano, Mr. Wareham.
Part L commenced with a march in G tiy the
orchestra. Then followed • part song," Softly Falls,"
by the Choral Society, which was rendered in capital
style. The piano solo, "Allegro, Magi*, Allegro,"
by Mr. Wareham, elifxd high commeadation for its
masterly execution. SOMA, "Softly Sighs," he Miss
Julia Jones, of London, was sung with considerable
effect. Part IL was devoted to the render*, of Van
Brie's cantata, "St. Cecilia's Day," in which Miss Julia
Jones was the soprano salad. Mr. Cullingford was
leader of the hand, and Mies A. ROW* presided at the
pianoforte and Miss Cullingford at the organ. The
second part was equally as successful as the first, the
chorus and orchestra working well together d the
precision in execution throughout was admirlbaZ"
