~ The second Concert of the PHILHARMONIC
SOCIETY takes place on Saturday evening" Jsnu'
ary llth at the Apollo Rooms. The feature OF
the evening is the symphony in c. by Franz Schu-
bert, and there is also Spontnis overture to La
Vestale," and Cherubini's " DeuT JourneeS"
These concerts are matters Of pleasure and
pride to us. The selection and performance OF
the programme are always of the finest character,
forthis Society the permanent interpreter among
us of the great works of the great composers.
There is an elegance in the whole character of the
concerts which is especially grateful to all who
feel that the setting of gems cannot be too care
full. They are just long enough, and neither the
ear nor the mind are wearied, and the memory
is most fairly freighted for the Intervening month";
for there are only four Of these festivals during
the season, and the sizEof the audience is the in
dex of the extent Of genuine musical taste and
love among us. Hard after the Conse7vatolre OF
Paris, the Sing Akademie of Berlin, and the Leip
sic Conservatory, comes the Philharmonic Society
of New.York. We are glad to repeat what we
stated some time since, that it is well and per
manently based; and we shall be always glad to
report an audience as large as it is uniformly ap
preciative.
Subscriptions are received by Messrs Scharfen-
berg & Luis, Broadway, and Mr.. p. X. WeitSel
Brooklyn.
