| TILE MUSICAL COLLEGE CONCERT.
! The Chicago Musical College gave the first O
this seasons concerts few evenings since a
the First Methodist Church. The programme
! which consisted Of five instrumental and fir
vocal numbers, was nicely arranged, and was
considering the difficulty and novelty of SON
! Of the pieces, a very ambitious ono. The con
cert opened with the Wagner Centennial March
arranged By I,ubinste;n. Although it was yer,
we'll played By the Misses Clara Waters and I'd,
| Buscliwah, it made little effect upon the ar
dieuce. Miss Alice 1ansdcn is d young slngc
| OF great promise. She possesses beautiful
| mezzo- soprano voice Of very pleasing quality
She sung the difficult romanza from t'Robert,'
"Itoberto tt che atlora,'' with a fair understand
ing OF the requirements Of the music, and witt
much warmth Of expression. Miss Clara Muir

spectivcly. 1t was, for Al amateur, an excellent
piano part. Mcssrs. Eirhheim and Buisscrct,
although not pupils Of the College, each deserve
word OF yery favorable mcrtion for their artis-
tic work performed during the evening. Mrs.
Leonard Ames, Jr., who was one of Signor dc
Campi's pupils IN st. Louis, sang the very diff.
cult Vcnzano waltz, and executed the various
runs, trills, and stnccato passages with surpris-
ing ease Probably the pupil OF the very great
est promise that the College has as yet intro
duced is Miss Mary Wlshard. During the short
time that she has studied at the College she
has acquired a firm and true touch,
and a brilliant technique, for which
her teacher, Mr.. Ziegfcld, deserves great credit.
Her number was the difficult "Allcgro dc Con-
cert" one OF Chupin's greatest inspirations
Although the attempt WIS most ambitious
one, Miss Wishard played 1t with prilliancy
and certainty that was quite surprising, as well
as with good phrasing and expression. Miss
Lizzie Forseman showed her voice, talents, and
good musicianship to most excellent advantage,
both in her solo, Mercadantefs NAh, s'cstint0, :"
and in the sAlartha" duo with Miss Rocmhcld.
Quite novel feature Of the concert was the in
PRODUCTION Of q ladies' chorus, consisting OF
some sixteen first and second sopranos, all fresh
and pure voices displaying good quality Of
tone. The choral numbers were chorus from
Donizetti's 'sParisina," in which Miss Emma
Rocmhcld sung the cavatna- Miss koem-
held is another promising pupil Of the
College, one who will make her mark in
the musical world. She has fine nezzo-
tive quality. She uses it most admirably, show
ing good cultivation. Tic chorus, under the
direction OF Sjgnor de Catnpi, was good aud rc-
liable as soon it got over its first stagc-fright.
The concert as whole was d fine success, and
gave one an excellent itiea of the thorough
schooling and tuition Of the College: Air.
Ziegfcld may we'll feel proud Of his pupils. We
understand that at the grand concert, which
takes place at Mccormick Hall in January or
February, some unusually fine vocal and lnstru-
mental features will be introduced, which will
make the OCCASION all interesting and enjoya-
bic one.
