Concert at Chestnut st. Church.
A good-sized audience at Chesthot
street church last evening listened TO
delightful concert by "home taien6
assisted by Mr.. Carl Oakman, vloi'nisS
of Boston. ThesssnPortland participants
were: Miss Ida King Tarbox, soprano;
Miss Henrietta Deunett Rice, contralto;
Mr.. W. II Stock bridge, tenor; MIR. Har-
ry =. Merrill, bass; Mrs. Frank H. Allen,
NJ rs. Theodore Fl. johnson, Mrs. Abel
NJ. Smith, Mrs. Joseph Thompson, plan
lists, and Mr.. Walter s. Smith, organlst
and accompanied. The opening qua.tette
(vocal,) "Where the Zee Sucks, by
DR.. Arne, received A generous round OF
applause and the audience became at
once thoroughly en- rapport with ths
performers and applause throughout the
whole evening land the programme was
long ons), was frequent and hearty.
All of the performers were given hearty
recalls and all were in excellent voice
and acquitted themselves finely.
Miss Rice's rendering of Clutsam S
melodious hut exacting "The Wedding
Morn" was exquisite, her annunciation
being particularly pleasing.
Miss Tarbox's rendering of Haryey
Murray's dainty new setting of "A
Song of May" n pretty little German
idyl, excited special interest. Mr.. MUIR
ray has done delicious little bit OF
work in the score of this song-tEe
movement is exhilirating and the melody
quaint and pleasing. Miss Tarbox sang
it finely as sho did pretty little song of
Chadwicks with which she prefaced this
number. Mr.. Murray accompanied these
two songs. Messrs Stock bridge and
Merrill never sang with more sweetness
or better expression and shading than IN
the beautiful duet of Goetz's "Calm as
the Night, which was great fnyorite
with the audience.
The performance of the andante move
nent from Beethoven 8 Fifth Symphony
by Mesdames Allen, johnson, Smith ana
Thompson on two pianos, and Mr.. Smith
on the organ, was novel and pleasing.
The effect of the two instruments was
besutiful and the work of the players
splendid.
Young MIR. Oakman has been heard be-
fore in Portland. He has improved de-
cidedly since his last performance and
has q brilliant future before him. His
tone is beautiful and he plays with
grace and good technique. His work all
round is really brilliant for young man
OF his wears. His best number was the
"Balladev Polonaise, of Vieuxtemps,
made famous and familiar in Portland
by several of the great masters OF the
violin. All the mum hers on the list
were well done.
The programme has already been print
ed in the PRESS.
