nUSICAL NOTES

Julie l.. Wyman gave song recital in
Oberlin last Tuesday, and this week
she will sing with the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra in Cambridge, and with
for Europe in the beginning of June, after
| her engagement in the spring festivals in
the different New England cities and In
dianapolis.
Holman played last week with the Har-
lem Philharmonic Society and in the Cal
r-DeForrest musicale, and, as usual,
was immensely successful He is by far
the greatest violoncellist ever heard in
this country, and no doubt his time will
be shortly completely filled. The artist
will remain in this country until the be-
ginning of May, and will be heard in a
number of musical festivals.
Melba had any number of offers to sing
in concert after the close of the opera
season. She has, however, concluded not
to accept any, and will return to Europe
the last part of April or early in May,
when she will be heard in London with
Australian trip, which she contemplated
to take the coming summer, she has
abandoned for the present.
Campanari, the brilliant baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, will sing in
concert after the close of the opera season
in April. He had an offer to sing in Lon
don this spring, but on account OF his
numerous engagements is obliged, to re-
main in this country. 1t is not posi-
lively settled whether he will be with
Messrs. Abbey & Grau next season, there
being marked difference in terms be-
tween the artist and managers.
DR.. Max Bruch has just finished new
oratorio entitled, Noses which is about
to be produced under Anton Krause at

four parts are entitled Sinai, The Golden
Calf The Prospect of Canaan and The
Promised Land
Although there will be no Wagner per-
formances at Bayreuth this year, Munich
is again laying itself out for the British
and American tourist. Between August
sth and September 9th, at the Court
Opera, there will be given complete
cycle of all Wagner's works, from Die
Feen to Der Ring DIES Nibelungen. Parsi-
fal is, of course, reserved for Bayreuth
itself.
A crowded house greeted the perform
ance of the Strauss operetta, The Bat,
when given recently at Munich for the
benefit of the fund for those connected
with the stage. The general musical di,
rector, Levy conducted, and the principal
parts were in the hands of Frau Scholler,
Fri. Bettaque, Messrs. Walter, Basil and
Fuchs. On this occasion minor parts were
taken, and the ballet was composed in
part by the principal actors of the Court
IneaJef, tnuS producing unique prOuuc-
ton of the operetta.
Schalchi, having some excellent offers
this spring in London, will very likely
accept them, and defer her contemplated
concert tour until next fall She will be-
gin about October making a tournee of
about five months. She will then be heard
in Canada, the South and the Pacific
Coast. The company will be an excellent
one part of the programme given consist
ing OF operate scenes in costume.
Cesar Thomson will terminate his Amer
lean tour the end of this week in Balti-
more, appearing there with the Peabody
Symphony Orchestra, and expects to sail
for Europe next week on the City of Paris.
He had "a phenomenal success in Chicago
last week, where he played in two public
and five private concerts. His recital yes
terday afternoon in the large Music Hall
in Boston drew an immense audience,
and the management received a large
number of requests for another recital.
The cables on Sunday announced the
news that Josef Holman, the pianist,
would visit America next November and
give u series of concerts under the man
agement OF Abbey q Grau. This brings
to happy conclusion condition of
affairs that was rather perplexing to the
parties involved. Mr.. Holman would
have visited us before, but no satisfactory
arrangement could be made, for Mr.. Grau
had the option of his appearance here and
would not cancel or transfer it. But all
has come out right, and the celebrated
young pianist will revisit the country in
which he was so heartily appreciated
when he was child.
