One of the events of the season, and
which has been looked forward to with
considerable interest by the music-lov-
ing public of this city, was the concert
under Prof Sauvlet's management and
which took place on the evening of the
10th inst, at the Music Hall. The audi
ence present at the commencement of
the performance was the most fashion
able and representative, of the elite,
that had graced the theatre before for
many day, and the hearty apprecia-
ton OF the different numbers, showed a
high class of musical culture. His Ma
jesty, II. r. II. Princess Liliuokalani
and Hon. A. S. Cleghorn occupied the
royal box with Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Irwin and Mr.. and Mrs. F. NJ Hatch as
Wis Wis in that of the managers.
The performance was opened by the
Hawaiian Band, under the leadership of
Professor Berger, they playing an over
ture, LA dame Blanche" by Boieldieu.
The instrumental performance received
deserved applause. The next piece in
troduced to the public, Professor Sauvlet,
in piano solo, Concerto" by Weber.
The Professor was accompanied, on a
second piano, by Miss Carrie Castle and
a quintette by Messrs. Yarndey, DIR.
Day, j. F. Brown, d. Naone and Prof
Berger. This piece was the gem of the
evening and the applause fully testified
the opinion of the audience. Professor
Sauvlets manipulation of the fine toned
Bernstein piano showed that he was
master pianist and took his place among
the first in that rank. COnnoisseurs,
and there were many present, were loud
in their praises of the ability displayed
in the Professors performance, the grace
of touch and rhythm of movement, being
apparent to even the least musi-
cal. Miss Castles accompaniment
was in excellent accord as also
that of the quintette. The next
number. a duet sung by Misses Dora
Dowsett and Mabel Rhodes entitled
"Aime c'est vivre," by Campana was
excellently voiced. Prof. Sauvlet per-
formed another piano solo being fol-
lowed by song "Das herr am Rhein,"
sung by Mr.. 2. Isenberg, Jr. A COM
position by Prof. Sauvlet entitled the
"Meijii March" and dedicated to H. 1.
NJ. the Emperor OF Japan was next per-
formed. Two pianos were used, Miss
Carrie Castle and Miss Katie McGrew
and Master Tarn McGrew and Prof.
Sauvlet being the performers. The APP
plause which greeted the players at the
close was very enthusiastic and we'll de-
served. Prof. Sauvlet performed, under
one number, two piano solos the first
by Scharwenka entitled "Polinsche Ma
tionalianze," the second "Gavotte,"
a composition by the performer. The
Interpretation of Scharwenka's compost
ton was excellenty well given. The
"GavOtte" was peculiar in the marked
movement and promises TO be pop
ular. Miss Mabel Rhodes warbled very
sweetly Kucken's "Heaven hath shed a
tear" Mr.. Yarndley's violin accompani-
ment adding to the beauty of the com
position. Maupeon's "Berceuse" was
sung by Miss Dora Dowsett, accom-
panied by Mr.. Yarndley, violin, Mr.. III.

formance received merited applause.

grand concert was brought to a.close by
the performance by the Royal Hawaiian
Band OF the composition "Kalakaua
March dedicated to His Majesty by

dattered at the reception given him by

the occasion of his first appearance
among them in public.
