Amphion Club Concert.

The members of the Amphion Club are
working hard to make their forthcoming
concert in the auditorium of the German
House, Wednesday night, Jan. so, the most
artistic and brilliant event given under
their auspices during the four seasons of
the clubs existence. Director Alexander
Ernestinoff prescribes no definite number
of rehearsals of a programme to be given
by the club. He simply demands that the
young men shall rehearse until they are
technically perfect-not, however, sacrific-
ing naturalness TO technique. Professor
Ernestinoff enjoys music that is both artis-
tic and sympathetic fully as much would
one with a less cultivated perception than
he possesses. Rehearsals of the Amphion
Club are held in the parish house of st.
Paul's Church. The first rehearsal for a
given concert is usually called five or six
weeks before the date of the event, and
afterwards held regularly once a week, un-
til the week Immediately preceding the con-
cert, when the young men are ordered to
report every night to go over the songs on
their programme. The final rehearsal is
held the afternoon of the day on which the
event takes place.
A member of the club said, not long ago,
that the principal object the young men
have in view is the acquiring of a sum of
money large enough to enable them to Sc
can enjoy social intercourse with each 9TH
er and with their friends, and where local
musicians can meet and enjoy the advan-
tage of sharing each others experiences.
The Amphion Club is really remarkable
organization, considering its youth. Four
seasons ago ii gave its first public concert.
Last season the organization had grown
strong enough to bring to Indianapolis some
of the most renowned of foreign musical
artists, such as Mark Hamburg and Alex
ander Petschnikoff, even going so far as
to bring those distinguished musicians on
the same platform simultaneously at a cost
of nearly one thousand dollars. The local
music-loving public has stood nobly by
these ambitious young men, and the en-
enlargement they have received has en-
boldened them to arrange for the present
season a series of concerts that will long
be remembered. Wednesday night, Jan. 80
they will have as soloist the phenomenal
young Russian piano virtuoso, Ossip Cab
rilowitsch, student of the celebrated
Tschaikowsky, whose brilliant compositions
have been enjoying the greatest vogue dur
ing the past few years.
