COncOrdia Concert.

Hans Bruening, the distinguished
Milwaukee pianist who appeared as
the stellar attraction at the concert of
the Concordia society last Tuesday
evening, is accounted by many capable
musical devotees as being the most
finished artist in his line whom Water
town people have ever been privileged
10 hear. His work on the pianoforte
was captivating in the extreme and
his hearers became enthusiastic, es-
pecially over his wonderful rendition
of the Mendelssohn-Lisz fantasia,
"Midsummer-Night's Dream" which
was as nearly perfect as one could
wish to hear. Mr.. Bruening was re-
peatedly encored, but would only bow
his acknowledgements. Miss Sophie
Gaebler, of Milwaukee, was heard in
two selections for soprano, playing
her own accompaniment. She was
in good voice and highly pleased her
numerous friends, at whose hands she
received an ovation upon her first ap-
pearance. A double number by Wa
tertown's well-known baritone, Will
liam Sproesser, was particular feat
ure of the program and won a we'll
merited encore. The COncordias,
under the direction of NJ. Fl. Gaebler,
appeared in several numbers, one of
which was an Gave Maria" by Abt,
with tenor obligato sung by Edward
l.. Schempf. This was beautiful
number, very well rendered, and an
encore was demanded on it. There
was a good-sized audience present.
and after the concert the young people
enjoyed a hop.
