Staunton Choral Society.
The Society embraces the very best must
cal talent of our City, and has a well
drilled Chorus of over fifty voices. They
have for the past few months been actively
at work preparing for this entertainment,
under the special supervision Of the Musical
Director, Professor Barthold Meyer. The
Concert is given free of charge, and is in
tended to bring the Society before the pub
lie. The committee in charge have secured
Concert Grand Piano from Richmond to
be used on this occasion, and are sparing
neither pains nor expense that the entertain
ment may be first class i'll every respect.
Invitations will be sent to our citizens
with q card Of admission, which must be
presented at the door for admission. A
handsomely gotten up Programme is being
prepared and will be sent with each invita-
ton; this should be preserved, as none
will be given out at the door. No seats
will be reserved, so all should go early
and secure good seats. Toprevent confu-
sion and discomfort, tickets will only be
issued to the seating capacity OF the lower
floor, the gallery being reserved exclusively
for the Female Schools. Doors will open
at u o'clock, and curtain rise promptly at
81: after that time doors Will be closed and
no one admitted.
Between the first and second part of the
Programme, the Hon. III. St. George Tucker
has kindly consented to deliver a short adj
dress, setting forth the objects, &C., of the
Society. But few of our people know to
what perfection this organization has at.
tanned. and the labor necessary to the pro-
per conduct Of a well drilled chorus. Staun-
ton can well be proud Of her public insti-
buttons, and there is no reason why she
should not support a first-class Musical Or
ganization. Richmond, Petersburg, Lynch
burg and other cities Of our State, have
similar societies, and give them all the sup
port needful. Now let Staunton come to
the front, and her Choral Society be recog-
nized as one of our most popular and flour
ishing institutions.
