THE FIRST CONCERT op THE
AMATEUR MUSICAL SO;GIETy.
Tho Amatelre Musical Society will
music in t . do for instrumental
tis country even more t:nan the Sacred Hu-
n:Kali': Society has done for chorus singing. The mein-
ters of this society are dilettanti of the highest class,
both in social rank and musical science. It numbers
among its members his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke
of Leinster (the favourite pupil of Dragonetti, who
is one of the contrabassi in the orchestra), the
Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Falmouth,
Viscount Anson, Lord Saltoun, Lord Templemore.,
the Marquis of Kildare, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl
Cawdor, Lord Arundel (who is also one of the per-
formers in the orchestra), and several other noble wad
distinguished personages. The object of the societ-1 is
to promote the study and the performance of clas.sical
instrumental music, and the orchestra is complaete in
every department. Last night the first conec.Nt took
place at the Music Hall, Store-street, under the, direction
of Mr. Balfe, to whom infinite credit is due, for the ad-
mirable manner in which he has drilled 'Ain orchestra.
It is no easy task to drill a number of per-
formers unused to each others play into an orchestra
that shall perform a classical piece of, music as a great
whole, yet this task has Mr. Balfe. accomplished, and
the Amateur Musical Society, ur...cler his direction, last
night worked together in a manner which might put
many professional orchestras to the blush. It was evi-
dent that one spirit animated alike the conductor end
the performers—the love of art for its own sake. No
wonder, therefore, that they succeeded. The followlug
was the programme for the evening;
