A new organization, which has thus

direction of Mrs. Ira Lewis. The mem
bership is limited to thirty, and the
club meets every Thursday morning
over Callers Music store for re-

done, and it is thought that the chorus
will be heard in public early in the new
year.

entertainments, and noted its progress
The personnel of the male members of
the company remains the same as last
year. Mr.. Willard F.. Weihe is musical
director and Mr.. H G.. Whitney the
very able stage mana ger.
Miss Louise Savage is the prima dom
ma of the company, and has gained
much during the past year in dra-
matte action. Miss Sallie Fisher was a
prominent member of the company I'M
til her departure for the east, a few
months ago. Her last appearance here
was as the queen in said Pasha.''
Miss Fisher went to continue her vo-
cal studies, and before her departure
testimonial concert was rendered her
at the Congregational church, under the
auspices of the opera company. All the
members participated in the pro-
gramme, and the affair was a great
success.
Miss Lottie Levy has been engaged
to fill Miss Fishers place, and made her
first appearance as Germaine in 1.-THE

The public of Salt Lake should con-

such excellent entertainment, and
should show a due appreciation of the
Orpheus club. which places these I'M
usual advantages within its reach.
1t is hoDed that the good work will
go on, and that the music-loVing people
here will make it possible for these

TABERNACLE CHOIR.
That mammoth chorus, the taher-
nacle choir, which is now famous all
over the country, has membership of
700, entirely composed of volunteers,
most of whom are of the Mormon faith.
Missionaries of the church are in
Guided in the mbership list, and of
these, many are always absent from
the city. The average attendance is
from 300 to 400. Mr.. Evan Stephens,
the director, has worked long and
faithfully in the interests of this
organization, and he has been verv
successful in his gigantic task. The
choir has only one rehearsal a month
as a whole, which is held in the taber-
nacle with Professor Daynes.
The sopranos and altos rehearse ev-
cry Monday evening at a large hall
on Richards street, and the teners and
bassoS meet at the same place Thurs
day evenings.
The music sung by the choir consists
principally of choruses from the princi-
pal oratorios. and also some operate
selections = notably from Aida"
Faust" and "CaValleria RuSticana."
Mr.. Stephens interests himself in
rehearsing the choir, and soloists from
it's numbers, in some of the leading
oratorios, and it is possible that some
day Salt Lake will have production
of 1.-The Messiah and other we'll
known sacred works.
During the past year the choir sang
at several concerts which were given
In the I0perHdcle, HOldDly Tic A1Ciuei
concert, at which the finale of the sec
ond act of Aida and the church
scene from "Cavalleria Rusticana,"
We're given; and more recently, at the
recital of little Paloma Schramm, the
wonderful child pianiste, the choir
sang the soldiers chorus from Faust,
and 1.-THE Nations Bow to Satan's
Thrall,' by Daynes. On the last named
occasion, the choir was conducted by
Professor Daynes, in the absence of
Mr. Stephens, who is visiting in New
York.
Last February. a testimonial con-
cert was rendered Mr.. Stephens by the
ladies of the tabernacle choir. The af-
fair was an immense success, the re-
ceipts amounting to about $1,000.
OTHER CHORUSES.
Among the smaller chorus Organiza-
tons Of. the city, Nine. Swenson's
ladies' chorus is now too well known

terpe, whose mission it is to study
music for its own sake, and for mu-
tual advancement. Its career has been
most beneficial one, and during the
last season it was found necessary to
increase the membership limit to
sixty The work OF the year has been
most gratifying TO the members, all of
whom share an equal interest and re-
Sponsibility in its welfare. Meetings
are held every fourth Saturday in the
hall CT the Ladies Literary club, and
some individual composer or school of
composers is treated upon at each
meeting, with Illustrations from their
works by club members. or, as has been
the case on several occasions, from
musicians outside the club. Mr.. C. l..
Rood is the president, and Mr.. c. l..
Robertson the secretary.
In speaking of the Euterpe club, the
names Of Mrs. F'idelia. Is. Hamilton. its
founder. and one of its most valuable
members, comes to mind. 1t was with
the most profound sorrow that all of
her friends in Salt Lake heard of her
sudden illness while on her way to
visit old friends in St. Louis. Those
who have but heard of her philan-
thrcpic heart and kindly spirit, will
join with those who know and love her
in wishing her a speedy and complete
recovery.
The Flanders Amateurs, organized by
Miss Gratia Flanders for her pupils, is
q society which has accomplished much
good for the students. All members are
required to play at club recitals, when
called upon, unless a sufficient excuse
can be offered. The pupils are not COM
PEELED to join the society, but when
they do so are obliged to abide by the
regulations. The Flanders Amateurs
helps the pupils to overcome the natu-
raj nervousness when playing in public.
and has demonstrated the talents of
many young performers to their rela-
tives and friends. The meetings are
held once a month in the rooms of the
Ladies' Literary club.
IN THE CHURCHES.
1t would be impossible to give too
much encoura cement to all efforts for
the Improvement of music in the
churches, and all earnest endeavors in
this line must certainly result ulti-.
mately in a benefit TO the church, as
we'll as TO the musical atmosphere of
the town. There are some very earn
est musicians among the choir workers
in the city. whose efforts deserve some
recognition.
At ST. Marks cathedral there is a
supplied boy choir, under the direction
of Mr.. \. II. Peabody. who is also the
organist. At st. PauHs the music is
furnished by volunteer soloists. with
Miss Ethel Froiseth at the organ There
is large volunteer choir at the Pres
byterian church, directed by Professor
Young, with Miss Maude Thorn as or
ganist.
One of the best organists in the city
is Mr. Thomas Radcliffe, a. G. o., VINO
has held the position at the Congrega-
tional for some years. At st. Mary's
Miss Nora Gleason is Organist and di-
rector of an excellent volunteer choir.
At the Methodist church Mrs. Plummer
is leader. Professor Carozzi is organ
list at the Unitarian, and. directs the
Unity volunteer quartette.
EVENTS OF THE SEASON OF '9S.
The first operate star to visit us
was the famous Nine. Sealchi, the
worn-out contralto of many registers.
Nine Scalchi sings with artistic taste,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-01

known violinist, and has frequently ap-
peared in concert.
Aside from the orchestras at the The
aires, there are other organizations in
Salt Lake, whose work contributes no
small part TO the music OF the city.
Christensen's orchestra has furnished
all the music at Saltair for several sea
sons, including a series of sacred con-
certS on the pavilion every Sunday
This orchestra is also much in de-
mand for balls and parties during the
! winter season.
Professor Magnus Olsen leads an or
chestra which makes a speciality of
playing for balls and receptions. He
furnished the elaborate concert and
dance programme at the recent Alta
club reception.
Salt Lake possesses several excellent
brass bands. These have done so much
TO popularize music in this country that
too much cannot be said in their ia
vor.
Christensen's band has been promi-
nent here some time and was well
known even before the establishment
of the militia. AT that time it was
made a permanent state organization,
as the First Regimental band.
Professor Anton Peterson is the di-
rector OF the Knights of Pythias band.
which has been the winner of several
Eisteddfod prizes, and some handsome
medals.
Professor Peterson is preparing for
one or more concerts, which he hopes to
give in the very near future. He will
also give some pupils recitals, as he
has a class of promising scholars, on
both piano and violin. During the past
year, this band gave concert for that
splendid charity, the Free Kindergar-
ten, and also gave a sacred Sunday
evening concert in the Theatre.
Held's band, under the direction Of
Mr. John Held, while not before the
public at present, is hard at work for
future presentations. The hall over
Coalter'S music store has recently been
secured for rehearsals, and the band
has an acquisition in the person of NJ
l.. c. Reed of Boston, a solo cornetis,.
Mr. Reed has taken up his residence in
the city.
The other brass band is ours only
by adoption, but it is safe to say that
its memory will linger with us after
many other institutions have faded
from our minds. And the affection
which we feel for this band is not for
its musical achievements alone, al
though these have deserved cOmmenda
ton. but because it cheered the dreary,
hard and lonely moments of the Twen-
ty-fourth United States infantry in its
never to- be-forgotten campaign before
Santiago And even if the Twenty
fourth infantry band should do no more
among US. we will remember its work
with that of it's regiment, with all
honor always.
Professor Shaffner is the leader of
the band and says that during the cam
paign only one of it's members, cor
netist, was shot, but he is now back
in his place, and the membership is now
exactly the same as it was before the
war.
This band has always been in great
demand for private entertainments in
town, and also participates in public
demonstrations.
An excellent mandolin and guitar
club is also to be found at Fort Doug
las.
EUTERPE CLUB.
A notable musical club is the Eu-
