MUSICAL MATTERS

The Apollo club. at its last concert of the
season, March 81, promises a treat seldom
afforded by a musical organization supported
py associate membership. The club will %
assisted by Harold Bauer, next to Paderews-
KY, the greatest pianist of his time
Gne story Of Mr. Bauer's musical career
Is simple tale Of conscientious and indefat-
1gable work. He was born in Germany in
1913, OF mixed parentage, his father being a
German and his mother an English woman.
While yet very young, he showed marked
ability as musician. He began as a VIC
nnist, and, although he studied the piano.
ne did not evince any particular desire 10
become pianist. 1t was not until Paderews-
Ky urged him to devote himself exclusively to
the piano that he entered upon Ais career as
piano virtuoso
In 1892 Mr.. Bauer went to Paris to study
with Paderewsky. While this great artist
may have been Of much assistance to him,
MI Bauer is in a large measure self-edu-
Gated, He made his debut in Paris as pia-
mist in 1898, and since that time has called
that city his home He has travelled extern
siyey and given concerts in Germany, Spain,
the Netherlands, Austria, Russia and Sweden.
He comes back to America with a reputation
as an executant of the first rank having
strengthened the favorable impression created
at his first appearance.
The Orpheus Singing, Society Is making
preparations for a grand concert to be given
in the Plymouth Congregational church
Wednesday evening, April 2. A. D. Bodfars
OF Rock Island Ill., who is undoubtedly the
greatest Swedish organst in this country,
has been engaged to play several organ solos.
1t is the intention also to secure the best
vocalist and the best violinist in the city for
this concert. The Orpheus chorus will sing
several selections and the concert promises
to be the best given by the society as yet.
