THE KNEIsEL ouARTETrE.

| IaE hNEloEL WHARF.-THE.
| Portland musical people are rarely favored
with two such musical entertainments in
successive evenings as the concert by the
| Boston Symphony Orchestra, Wednesday,
| and that by the Kneisel Quartette last even
ing, and they improved their opportunities
to the utmost.
Congress hall was crowded back to the
rear wall last night. A half dozen more peo-
pie might have obtained seats. but it is
doubtful. The programme as published In
the PRESS was fully carried out, and in adj
dition there was extra number, sok for
piano by Miss Geselschop. the lady who also
appeared In duet for piano and violin with
Mr.. Kueisel.
All the various numbers by the quar- tette
were give with the same artistic finish and
the same delicacy Of treatment that is such
feature of their playing. The Mozart
Quartette In d minor. seemed to reveal new
beauties under their delightful handling.
To many these quartettes give even more
pleasure thsn symphonies. because they so
clearly express the ideas of the composer,
and in briefer form, and so make more for
chile and lasting impression on the memory.
The soli by Messrs. Kneisel and Hekking
were delightfully."- rendered. Miss Gesels-
chop proved herself are agreeable pianist
There were no encores as the length of the
programme, which consisted of eight num-
bers, two of them In several movements, for
bade The next concert will be the last of
the series.

LUTHERAN sExTETTE.
Tonight the Lutteman Sextette assisted by
Mr.. Elliot, humorist, will appear In Stock
bridges Popular course at City hall. An
exchange says:
"The Swedish singers concert last even
ing was satisfactory in every way. The au-
both features OF the entertainment were de-
serving of all the favor which they received
1t is impossible to imagine a more perfect
concert Of voices or rich harmony than the
sextette displayed In every number, and the
absolute perfection Of drill was shown by
their singing without accompaniment or dr.
rection. The voices blend so truly that it
seems but one instrument, and unsteady Il
is quito out of the question to consider them
as individuals. Encores were frequent and
and some of the most pleasing songs were
given in response"
