The MoEnrI NEnalcaIe.

Not less than fifteen hundred people
attended the bi-monthly concert of the
Mozart Association last evening. The
attraction was "1be New York Opera
Club" under the management OF Nit
Henry Wolfsobn. The vocal numbers
by this combination were prefaced 10y a
waltz contributed, with much dittidence,
by the amateur orchestra
But TO discuss the vocal accomplish
ments of the "club." live singers and
manager compose its membership.
These singers are none OF them OF the
first rank, and in their various solos and
the garden-scene of "Faust" displayed
lack Of voice, rudeness of phrasing, aud
ignorance of operate effect. Mr.. Jacob
Reinhardt deserves much credit for his
faithful efforts, and especially during the
garden-scene did be evince his old time
vim and accuracy of accompaniment.
Is the Mozart Association to blame
for the inferiorty Of last nights enter
tainment? hardly. But this may
have been one of the many instances OF
the Music Committees being misled by
a combination which. like almost all
concert organizations, doubtless sent
glowing press tributes and circulars
down here and worked itself iuto the
committees good graces.
II is to be hoped that this is the last Of
the " Hungarian orchestra " calibre, and
that the Mozart Association will in the
near future, by careful inquiry and inyes-
tigation, give It's members a strictly first
class vocal and instrumental concert, by
artists whose reputation and skill are
unquestioned. aud will also do away with
humorous lecturers and yentriloquists
whose performances hardly constitute
what eleyetes a citys musical taste.
A good professional orchestra Is sadly
needed, if only once in a month or Six
weeks.
