TIE SWEDISH QUARTET - The MOST
NOVEL CONCERT EVER GIVEN IN
WHEELING - TESTIMONIAL BY OUR
CITIZENS.
Those OF our music loving people who
attended the concert given by the Swed-
ish Lady Vocal Quartet at the Opera
House last evening we're amply repaid
Tor going out in very unpleasant weather
by hearing the most delciously pleasant
quartet singing ever heard here. The
programme consisted of songs in Eng
lisb, German and Swedish, each number
being rendered perfectly, and as they
drew to close sll OF the delighted audi
ence had but one request, that they did
not sing more, though eleven songs were
given. They sing without any sccomps-
niment, and show wonderful training
IN harmony and melody. The soprano,
Miss CsrlstOn, sings with much express
sion and has sweet voice. The con-
trsltc, Mss Erixop, has voice of great
depth, end surprised everybody in
Nylen's Northand. The messo soprano
charms by her graceful stage presence
and pleasing voice, and the alto COM
pletes what can truly be termed the per-
lection of quartet singing.
Miss Burge, the pianist, is an artist of
much ability, manipulating the KEYS
gracefully and with much power. IL
response to determined encore, she
played delightfully."- Garecotte, by Glack.
1t is rare, indeed, that we
have the opportunity of hear
ing so good pianist. We have
had the Mendelssohns, the Boston Phil
harmonic and other superior instrument
tai organizations, with great violnists,
and Mr.. Krouse was accordingly tested.
Lie disarmed criticism in the fantasia by
Leonard, and made more ardent admirers
in the Romance Sans Paroles, by Vein
iawski. His style Of playing is different
from most artists, and pleasing in Its
effect. Every note receives careful a.
teutiOD.
So great was the delight of the audi
ence that they had prepared and signed
the following card to Manager John d.
Mishler which we cheertully publish:
DEAR SIR Having attended Your
excellent entertainment, we take this op.
portunity TO express our unusual salts
faction stthe wonderful harmony, melody
and rare combination OF voices in the
quartet. Their singing can alike be en-.
j0yed by musical or unmuslcal people.
We sincerely declare it the most novel
and pleasing concert we ever attended,
and ieel that it is an event in ones life
time TO hear such quartet singing and
the accomplished SOLO artist complete
delightful entertainment. We were for
tunate in being present, and heartily
urge our friends to attend this evening,
thor last concert here. IL. NJ. Mathews,

The ladies were obliged 10 respond to
two encores, and then the enthusiasm
was not absted. This evening they pre-
sent an entire change OF programme.
They will, however, we hope, again
sing the Swance River. which, as they
produce it, deiies description. No
lover of music can afford TO miss this OPP
portunlty TO hear the famous Swedish
Quartet.
