In presence OF John Aull.
Recital al Central COLLEGE.

A very Interested and eppreciative
audience assembled last Monday even
ing at Central Female college to attend
the recital gwen by the faculty of the
School of Music at that time. While
expectations OF enjoyment were at the
highest point these we're all fully
realized by every one fortunate enough
to be present. Every selection on the
programme was musical gem and the
beauty aud charm OF each was enhanced
by the rendition given 1t on this
occasion.
Mr.. D. F. Conrad, director of the
School OF Music, opened the programme
With the first movement of Beethovens
WaldsteIu Sonata op. So, the beauty
aud sublimity OF which were displayed
in their fnlness. Mr.. Conrad's repu-
tation among us is such that it is
almost needless to comment specifically
upon his exquisite playing on this
evsd,h:,. HIS perfect accuracy, fault
less phrasing and soulful expressive
ness we're al all times evident, equally
in the sublime Sonala of Beethoven
and in the magnificent Twelfth Rhap-
sodIe of Ll,zt. So great was The
delight of the audience with the Rhap-
sodie that, although this number
closed the programme, the audience
continued its applause until Mr.. Conrad
reappesred and delighted them again
with very dainty encore.
Miss E. F,oreuce Llewellyn, the
voice teacher, Is always favorite with
Lexington audiences. Her FIRST appear
auce on the programme was in a
recltative and ARA from Verdrs Opera
"Un Ballo in Maschera,n very
difficult and exquisite selection which
was well rendered. Her second num-
ber, the sixth on the programme, was
a vocal setting by Watson OF RAffs
Cayatini, great iaveIite among music
lovers. To this Mr.. +. J. stark
furnished violin oblgato very effect
lively. The voice had much delicate
work here as well as some very bril-
liant passages which were so finely
given as to cause the audience to claim
an encore, Glove is Bubble, charm
ingly rendered by Miss Llewellyn.
Mendelssohn's CappriCcio Brilliant,
B minor, was much enjoyed as rendered
by Miss Berien Menefee, whose musical
culture and ability have often been
demonstrated to us. The orchestral
parls to this were played on second
piano by Mr.. Conrad.
This was followed by two move
menls OF the Concerto d minor op
% by Wieniawski, tor violin. Both
movements are beautiful and were well
played by MIR. p. J. Stark and the
vlgor and brightness Of the Allegro
Moderate elected vigorous applause
which would not be hushed until Mr..
Stark reappeared. this time playing a
lively "saltarelle."
Miss Ada James Ash captivated the
audience in hsr number, which con-
sisted Of four selections, all of which
were faithfully and artis;ically rem
: dered. The Gigue in 6 minor, by
Handel, and the Nocturne in G major,
; BY Chopin, however, deserve especial
: mention. AS an acccmpauist also
= Miss Ash showed herself remarkably
! efficient.
many beautiful flowers were received
by the performers, roses, carnations
e and lilies OF the valley, lending their
} beauty and fragrance to this very
! interesting and enjoyable OCCASION
AS Lexingtonians we feel very proud
Of the musical faculty Of Central col
+ loge and only wish teachers recltals
: oocuund more frequently.
