and carefully selected programme has
been we'll rehearsed, and this being the
last concert Of the season. no doubt the
performers will be greeted by a large
audience.
Mr.. William H. Sherwood will give a
piano recital at the Los Angeles theat or
on Thursday next. The Boston Adver-
tiser says of him:
"Mr. Sherwood's high professional
rank was never better illustrated than
by his performance OF the Raft G minor
Concerto. He seemed to entirely grasp
she character Of the composition and the
just vslue of the ensemble effects; and
the orchestra seconded him in grand
style, Mr.. Nikiseh appearing at his pest
in the conducting OF the work. The
work is brimfull OF staccato and chord
work. and the pianist in these passages
and in octave runs seemed to have wrists
OF steel. No less effective, however, was
the legato work OF the second movement,
which was given with q degree of ex-
preston entirely commendable. Mr..
Sherwood was recalled with an enthusi-
asm which was but just tribute to his
merit as an artist"
