Boston symphony Concert-The Boston
Symphony concert at Metzerott Music Hall
last night realized for the most mart the
expectations which are formed in connec-
uon with each of this series of musical
wells Inc attendance and the manner in
whicn the opening performance of the sea-
son was received give promise of a liberal
patronage and of the approval of the dis
crimnatirg. The orchestra has not only
numerical strength, but it interprets the
spirit or the composer and the enthus la sm OF
the director with almost the comprehension
ana nrmness of the individual. The over
ture OF Iannhauser was the opening num-
Der, and 1t was received with warm ap-
proval Schumann's Symphony in c major
ioilowed, and proved a scholarly and en-
joyable number. The entre-acte to Owen
doline, by Chabrier, and the overture of
Sappho, by Godmark, were both strong
features OF the program. The vocal solos
by Mrs. Julie =. Wyman showed her to be
performer of trained abilities. The audi
ence was not constrained in manifesting its
appreciation, and the efforts of Director
Paur to interpret the best music on a scale
worthy of IL are evidently to continue in the
liberal encouragement manifested last night
and too often withheld from purely artistic
enterprises. The Boston Symphony concert
was not only treat in ITSELF but crafty
ing assurance of good things to come
