WEDNESDAY EVENING CONCERTS. I St.
6
25!17

The 15th of these concerts took place last night at
Exeter-hall. The atlendance was no less ample than
fashionable—in comp;iment, it may be presumed, to the
entrepreneur, Mr. Wra. Willott, whose benefit it was,
and whose enterprise in carrying on a periodical musical
undertaking for so long a period, deserved the recognis-
ance. The programme, selected from the works of
several of the most popular operatic composers, was full
of musical attraction ; added to which, Mr. Willott also
provided for his friends the following vocalists :—Miss
Louisa Pyne, Madams Newton Frodsham, Miss Grace
Alleyne, Miss Stabbaeh, Miss M. Wells, Miss Maria
Simpson (her first appearance at the hall), Madame F.
Lablache. Miss Lucy Ledger (who made her first appear-
ance), Mr. A. Brahma, Mr. T. Young, Mr. Leffler, and
Signor F. Lablache. The soloists were—Harp, Mdlle.
L. Christine ; grand pianoforte, Herr Meyer Lutz ;
violin, Mr. Viotti Collins. The band, in their various
performances, sustained the high character which they
have so deservedly won in public estimation. The en-
cores of songs were frequent. The entertainment gave
general satisfaction.
