CHoRIsTER BOYS CONCERT.
After several months of careful study
under the able direction of the conductor,
Professor Mees, the choristers make their
first appearance before the public at an
organ concert at Music Hall this evening.
1t is believed that this is the only organi-
cation of the kind on so large and complete
scale in this country. There are few
boys choirs used for ecclesiastical, but
none for secular purposes, and where one
of the chief and ultimate aims Is the mus-
cal instruction of the singers. The educa-
ton given to the choristers embraces the
elementary principles of music and the art
of chorus singing
The plan is but one Of the many under
taken by the College in pursuance of the
object for which it has been established.
That the singing of the, ,choristers will be
great attraction to the public there can be
but little doubt, and from the public the
College asks liberal supper. The chorist-
ers consist of from forty to fifty boys and
several adults. More choristers will be
added whenever occasion requires. Prof.
Henry Carter, recently from Trinity
Church, New York, and distinguished as
an organist and musician, will preside at
the great Organ.
The programme is as follows: .a
Introduction, Russian Hymn" .Freyer
UTEhH.
AT the conclusion of the hymn the chOristers
will enter singing the music of the Russian
hymn" to the words Crowned with Light."I
Cantata, "Ye Sons of Israeli" .Mendelssohn
