I CONCERT

at the tOiumDld 1nedteT Inc lTlelluS VI
the society were gratified at hearing the
members in several excellently sung selec-
tons. and the musical director. Mr.. Edmund
A. Narela, deserves warm praise for the
high degree of perfection attained by the
force under his direction. The most ambi-
tious selection by the society was THE
Farewell of Hiawatha," Arthur Foote's
musical setting to portion of Longfellow's
beautiful poem. In this the society did some
of its best work, and Mr.. Otto ]. j. Lueb-
kert, who sang the baritone solo. an
excellent example of the splendid material
of which the society is composed. The So
ciety's other numbers were A. NJ. Sporalis
Might Witchery." Goldmark's Spring
Net, Mendelssohns vintage song from
'Loreley,'' Neidinger's My Pretty Maid
Max Spickers madrigal arrangement of
Tom Moore's ''Vesper Bell" and Laconne's
''Estudi Antna.''
The soloists engaged for the concert were
Signor Campanari, baritone and Mr. An
ton kaspar. violinist No singer is more
popular in this city than Campanari and his
reception last night reached an ovation. He
was in magnificent voice. and sang with the
spirit and dash that characterizes all his
work. His first number was the prologue to
Il Pagliacci, and for an encore he gave the
toreador song from Carmen" His second
number was a group of three songs-"VeS-
pero' and ''Lasci ali dir by Quaranta, and
Tostfs "Sosnai-and in response to the de-
mand for more he sang the buffo Figaro
aria from The Barber Of Seville" Even
then the audience wouldn't let him go, and
he finally sang another song.
Mr.. kaspar played Sarasates Gypsy
Melodies with exquisite beauty of phrasing
and splendid technical skill. and fully mer-
tied the emphatic encore that followed.
The society's concerts this season have
been very successful. both artisticaly and
financially. De Pachmann Marie Brema
