THE LOCAL ORCHESTRA.
The introduction of a local orchestra
was a novel and most important Incl
dent. The end that the Wednesday cub
has in view f. 20 develop music lh lslch-
mOnd, and not to aid in the Gupport or
an organization from another city, where
81 has neither high standing nor steady
employment The result or the expert
ment was as successful as could have
been expected The orchestra was natu-
rally nervous and yet there were many
moments when the performance reached
high-water mark. Merit alone ought 20
be the basis Of membership in the Club $
orchestra, and there can be no doubt OF
its ultimate success.
One OF the really musical pleasures or
the festival was the performance of the
Schumann trio. by Miss Florence Dillard:
violinist Mr.. T.. A. HOen, cellist, ana
MIR. Henry Gelgor. The two first named
are well known here. Mr.. Geiger played
the piano part IN most musical fashion.
lie IS a pianist with temperament and a
fine technic, ana an accompanist who
knows something besides dynamics.
AMONG THE SOLOISTS.
Mrs. II. r. Meloney was one Of the
soloists who have been seldom heard IN
Richmond She scored a distinct triumph.
Her voice is liberal in compass, good
lower tones. 9th upper tones brilliant
and without tfN suspicion or haIdness.
OF Miss Frances Diggs and MISS Ade-
laide Watkins. who have hitherto graced
the concert stage but rarely, 1t can be
said. that from the pedagoglc as wen as
from the esthetic standpoint, their sing
ing was delightful. Among the old IA
vorites-all Of whom acquitted Themselves
admirably-were Miss Annie Louise Rein
hardt. Miss Helen Nye, Mrs. Durett. Mr..
Arthur Scrivenor, and Mr.. Jacob Rein
hardt.
