Theodore Thomas Great Orchestral Con-
certs.-This magnificent orchestra, confessedly
the richest in the country 10 musical elements,
give two of its splendid entertainments in this
city on the nights of the oath and 25th OF
March, in Assembly Hall, Eighth street. 1t is
composed of fifty performers, led by Mr..
Thomas. The sale of reserved seats will begin
in this city at the store of Messrs. West &
Johnston on Monday next. While referring
the reader to the announcement in another
column of this grand musical event, we cannot
better afford an idea of the treat in store than
by copying the remarks of Henry Ward
Beecher, on the same subject, addressed to the
Christian Union:
"We duly found ourselves in presence of that
mysterious conclave of musicians-Theodore
Thomas orchestra. They are laughing and
talking in subdued tone among themselves
there is the preparatory scraping, and piping
and tuning; hum of talk and rustic of pro-
grammes rises from the audience when the
leader steps out, bows to the audience, turns to
his music, taps light signal to the orchestra.
gives the least possible premonitory wave of
the baton and-away they burst into the
overture, and we arelaunched on our evening
entertainment. At first, curiosity to notice the
method and manners of this renowned leader
precudes full participation in the musical
enjoyment of the piece, and we note all his
looks and gestures. He seems bent on giving
the performers not only leadership, but syste-
matte mpanionship- adjusts himself to the
musical character of the piece, as it were, and
by the slightest possible signals elicit energy,
vivacity, speed, or represses to Inodulation
of infinite deicacy. The overture is ended
We feel less disposed to analyze as we warm
to the music, and as they break into favorite
waltz, all faces brighten, numberless sympathe-
tic mods and smiles are interchanged, innumer.
able feet pat lightly and unconsciously
we all feel eunny and sociable, and when
it ends, the audience has become fused--utterly
homogeneous: He may venture on any thing
now, classical or popular, for we are much in
sympathy with the performers as they are with
each other and shall respond to any thing. And
so the silence is perfect and the attention rapt,
as the violinists thread their way through
labyrinth of harmonies, tissues of exquisite
delicacy, and the Instrumentation is so perfect
that we can trace the single parts separately.
You feel yourselves strangely wrought upon
by the pathos of the music. The house is
solemn and still, and rapt to the very close.
Anon, Miss Mehlig comes forward, and as if
unconscious of her audience, leans lovingly
over her instrument, caressing it, as it were.
She ventures on all extremes of modulation,
playing throughout, if need be, with perfect
simplicity of style, and showing her Difference
to the audience by taking them 50 completely
into her confidence.
"Musical memories of that night came to US
for weeks afterward like bright visions. Life
seemed to have more happy romance in it
and if we never hear good music again, we
shall be happier and better for hearing it that
once"
