Grand Concert I'm Prospect.

On Monday evening next, one week from
| tonight, we are promised rare musical
treat, such as has not been offered to the
citizens of Rutland for many n year.
| Through the efforts of Prof Meitzke, the
famous combination known as the Wicni-
awski-NIaurel concert troupe are to appear
in the Rutland Opera House. The company
are on their way to Montreal, and, having
one evening to spend on the trip have been
induced to come here. This company have
just finished, during the past week, a series
of brilliant concerts in New York, and are
known "a the best combination who have
appeared there this season. The companyis
composed of Wieniawski, violinst Maui
rel, baritone Miss Jennie Bull, soprano
Madame Schiller, pianist Signor Werner,
viooncellist and Rembelinsky, conductor.
NJ Weniawski, the violinist of the
troupe has already greatly distinguished
himself in this country, first in his appear
ancc in the Rubenstein concerts, a year
ago, and lattcrly with other combinations,
sketch of his remarkable career. He was
born in Poland in 1885 and is consequently
but thirty-ninc years of age. When nine
years old he was taken to the conservative
at Paris where, although the rules govern
ing that institution forbid the admission of
pupils under twelve, the jury, which in
cludcd among Its members such musical
gcniuscs as Aubcr and lIaevy. unanimous
~ decided upon the acceptance of the must
cal prodigy. Two years later, Henri Wieni.
awski, after competition with twenty two
adults, bore off the first prize. Charmed
with this victory, the Emperor Nicholas !
directed his education should he completed
at the imperial expense. In 1913 he was
summoned to Russia where his success
at Court was of the most flattcring kind.
In 1893 he commenced tour through Ger
many with his brother Joseph, equally dis
tingulshcd rs II pianist, where the widest
excitement prevailed and fifteen recalls
marked their de5m. His after triumphs
have been won in Holland and Belgium as
well "a America. An artist OF Hanover,
Germany, wrote of him, I'VE must
say no more that Wieniawski is an OPP
poncnt worthy of Joachim, but that
Joachim is the only violinist who
can stand beside Wicniawsli" In 1860 he
was appointed solo-yiolipist TO the EN-
peror of Russia and Professor in his Con-
scryatory at St Petersburg. During his
twelve years residence in the Russian capt
tai his concerts were the ''thc sensation Of
each consecutive season.
BY American critics he has been ac-
corded the first rank, even considered the
superior of Ole Bull, who has always here
toforc been considered unsurpassed. OF
the remaining members of this distn-
gushed troupe we will speak hereafter
