THE Boston Symphony Orchestra Club
gave very fine concert at the opera house
on Friday evening last. The club consisted
of the following artists Alfred DeSeve
and Joseph Lapni, violins; Richard Strel-
ger, viola and viola d amOre; Otto Langey,
violoncello; Fred Lax, flute and flageolet;
j. Fasshauer, contra bass. With the club
was Mile Augusta Ohrstrom, vocalist. 1t
is almost impossible to indicate what num-
bers We're the more pleasing, for all were
very enjoyable and of high musical merit
The orchestral numbers-and especially the
" Slumber Song" composed by DeSeve-
and the solos of Mile. Ohrstrom were warmly
received, but the violin solo Of DeSeve was
undoubtedly the event of the evening. The
work Of Messrs. Lax, Langey and Strelzer
was thoroughly appreciated, as it could
hardly fail to be. The audience was not
large, but it was enthusiastic.
