The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-07-21
A GPFAT SUCCESS

Was the First Of the Three Banda
Rosa Concerts at Wheeling Park
Casino Last Evening Matinee and
Evening Concerts To-day.
The first Of the three concerts by the
famous Banda Rosa Qtsly's RED
Band"), under the direction Of Maestro
Eugenlo sorrentlno. came on last eve
ming at the Wheeling Park Casino, and
attracted an audience that numbered
between 800 and 1000. The Casino was
so well filled that those who had Ia
ken the trouble (there was no expense)
to secure reserved seats in advance
were well repaid
The programme was composed OF
| eight concerted numbers. together with
solos by lending members OF the band.
To say that the band made a hit is
putting It extremely mild on all sides
1 the artistic directing OF the body of
sixty musicians by Maestro Sorrentino
was received with enthusiasm. Without
| the violence OF gesture that character
Ices the work Of some bandmasters,
| Sorrentlno yet possesses complete con-
| trio Of his players,and his baton seems
indeed magic wand out OF which
come apparently the sweetest melodies
and the subtlest variations Of tone.
The programme opened with the over
ture from the opera William Tell, by
Rosslnl, which at once demonstrated
to the audience the quality OF the mu-
steal treat they were to sit through
during the ensuing two hours. All OF
the concerted numbers were played per-
fectly. and the solos by Slgnor Tede-
schi. on the clarinet and Slgnors Ta-
vnni, Febro, Mauro. PalmH and Col
aneri were equally as we'll done. and
II possible more enthusiastically re-
ceived. In fact, the band made an
even more decided hit than that scored
last winter at the Opera House.
There will be two concerts to-day.
The matinee begins at 2:S0 o'clock At
neon an excursion Of SteubenVtlle peo-
pie will come down on the Wheeling &
Lake Erie for the two concerts. Az
ter the evening concert, the Wheeling
& Elm Grove win have enough rolling
stock on hand at the Casino station to
handle the crowd in a few minutes.
There is no necessity to rush out be-
fore the concert ends TO catch a car.
The Wheeling line cars for Benwood,
Martins Ferry and Bellalre will await
the incoming Elm Grove cars.
