and Is Now Arranging for More.
Best Musicians in the Country to
Appear Under Its Auspices in
ARTISTS CORcerts'-Henri Ern to
De the First of These, Josef Hof-
mann the Second.
The Savannah Music Club is in a
more prosperous condition both as to
membership and finances than at any
time in its history, while the scope of
its artistic influence has increased even
more than it's progress in other ways.
That this scope is to be still further
increased is shown by the fact that the
club has just arranged for series of
artists concerts, at each of which it is
the purpose of the club to introduce to
its members and the music-loving pub
lie generally musicians in the very
forefront of their profession.
Two of these concerts have already
been arranged. The first will take place
in the Lawton Memorial Jan. 80 and
will be given by Henri Ern, violinist,
a pupil of Joachim and Ysaye, and a
virtuoso and composer. of international
reputation. The second concert will be
given by Josef Hoffman, March Is.
Holman, many years ago, made his
debut as child pianist in this coun-
try. His abilities then were considered
wonderful; they have increased with
age, and Hoffman, is to-day one of the
best-known pianists in the world.
The exceptional growth of the music
club makes its history an interesting
one. 1t was formed in 1896, when it
had but sixteen members. The late
Judge William Harden was its first
president and held that position until
his death, in 1898. The original plan
of the club was to limit it's membership
to those that were capable of taking
part in it's programmes, and this plan
was adhered to for some two years be-
fore it was decided to admit associate
members, and thus broaden the clubs
sphere of influence. The innovation
proved a good one for the club re-
ceived additions constantly until it now
has membership of 1853.
The second president of the club was
Mr.. w. T. Williams. He succeeded
Judge Harden and served one term

succeeded by Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens, who
was reelected in 1901, and is the pres
emit head of the club.
The club, besides it's semi-monthly
meetings, at which interesting pro-
grammes are given, has arranged also
number of annual concerts which
have been excellent, and is now ar
ranging to give "a special concert when
"StaIbat Mater (RosSinD will be sung.
The tickets for the Err concert, of
which each member of the club is en-
titled to one, were distributed to the
members present at the meeting Thurs-
day night Other members can secure
