The Mozart Society Concert.

1t will be seen by reference to advertising col-
umhs that the Mozart Society will give concert on
Monday evening, at the Salem street church, where
they will have the benefit of the organ. This church
is considered the favorable for sound of any in
Worcester; and the beautiful organ adds all that is
wanting to complete perfect accompaniment. This
deserving association has already BECOME favorite
with the public, and the character Of the music which
they perform, is such will tend to create and foster
refined taste in the community. There an advantage
connected with the Mozart Society which our religious
societies will do well to heed Here singers are train
ed and voices are cultivated supply the several choir
of the city. The singing in our churches cannot bu
derive great benefit from the practice and teaching
which is obtained in the rehearsas of this society.
The public should encourage the laudabe efforts O
citizens promote the efficiency and beauty

THE HARMoNEoNs.-Ou readers will find by
reference to advertising columns, that this talent
ed company of musicians have visited Worcester
again, and will have concert at Flaggs Hall, this
evening. They have been in Boston during the past
four months, holding concerts every evening, which
have been attended by crowded and fashionable au-
diences. This success is without parallel in Bos-
ton, and could have been attained only bv the high
musical talent, culture, and taste of the performers
and their gentlemanly bearing men, By the chas-
tened and improved character of their performances
and the absence of the low buoonery which has pre-
vailed in some other companies, they have overcome
the prejudices which existed against "African melo
Dies" and have afforded the public entertainments
In which humor and taste are combined, without de-
scending to vulgarity. They appear both as whites
and Ethiopians, and in the former character, thei
concerts would do credit to any performers that hav
ever visited US. X
