Jullien's Concerts.-For two nights only the
his grand concerts, vocal and instrumental; the
renowned Mile Anna Zerr being the prima donna.
A glance at the programme will satisfy every,
body Of the extent and character of the musical
performances, the most welcome of which, we
apprehend, will be the Quadrille National by
Julien, arranged with twenty solos and variations
to be executed by twenty of the composers emf
nent solo performers.
Many seats have already been secured at the
National Theatre, and we have no doubt that there
will be large and fashionable audience in at
tendance. The following remarks are copied
from the Baltimore american.
JULLIEN'S CoNCERT.-Ihe grand concert given
last night by Juen's magnificent orchestra, was
the greatest musical triumph ever achieved in
Baltimore, even the memorable soiries of Jenny
Lind scarce affording parallel. The immense
saloon of the Institute Hall was densely thronged
by an audience Of three or four thousand persons,
whose rapt attention and enthusiastic plaudts
gave evidence Of the high degree of enjoyment
experienced A finer array of the beauty and
fashion of the city we have never seen assembled
and as the vast audience was alternately Gained
into the strictest silence by the sweet and softened
strains Of the music, and then brought with en-
thusiastc shouts to their feet by the grand comb
nations and effects produced, the scene was mex
pressble imposing. Julien is unquestionaby the
greatest conductor of the age-he proves his tact
by collecting around him orchestra Of the most
extended and varied excellence, and his talent,
by moulding and directing them with skill that
combines them in harmonious whole, from
which he achieves such triumphs Of musical per-
lection, as until last night we had scarcely i'm
agined could be produced.
"The concert was not more perfect as whole
than in its several parts. Bottesini, Koenig Rel
ebert, and the other celebrities Of the orchestra
gave gratifying evidence of their mastery as SOLO
lists, and were warmly and repeatedly applauded.
Mile Anna Zerr is a pleasing and finished vocal
list, and shared literally in the appreciation 30
warmly bestowed. Tonight the second concert
will be given, when we anticipate such an audi
ence as will prove the estimation in which these
entertainments deserve to be held by the musical
taste of our city.
