HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
Yesterday the Academy of Music gave their second
tbrougel
Morning Concert at these rooms. The performance
out was
.highly creditable to the Institution, and the gTnild.clae
" Ebben a to ferisci," was given by Mrs. Smith and ,Miss
Wyndham (pupils of Signor Crivelli), w ith excellent effect.
In this •
. piece of music the voices of the two ladies were beau.;
tifully blended, and the precision of their execution dress' !orti.,
much applause. The tones of both voices were exceeding,'
sweet, and in the very beautiful graces which they occasic.ant,l°
introduced they did not in any one instance " tear passion
.1..
tatters," as is the case but too often with some of our successlol
publhic,
young performers, but contented themselves with displarlig:
true taste without 'laying traps to catch the applause of Or
"barren spectators." A concerto on the flute was very fill Ya
played by Mr. Richardson, a pupil of Mr. Nicholson; an a°'
P Academy
madrigal of Croce, composed in 1360 was sung (without
companiment) by the entire vocal strength of the ider;
The concert room was very crowded, and it was announce,r` :.
the programme that the next morning' concert is fixed for ir
day, the 20th of May.
