The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-18

Next Thursday night Nine. Lillian
Blauvelt, probably the greatest con-
cert soprano of the day, will make her
first appearance in Savannah, singing
at the second artist concert of the
Music Club this season. Nine. Blau-
welt will not limit her programme
merely to songs and ballads, as has
been done by the other great singers
who have been here this season. but
will include in il several numbers from
the grand operas. This will be pleas
ing news to the Savannah public.
Whilst the recitals this season have
been greatly enjoyed, it has been al
most a universal regret thatN the pro-
grammes have contained only songs
and ballads, which is about the only
thing Savannah people usually have a
chance to hear, and nothing from the
great works and operas class of
music that is rarely heard here. 1t
was for this reason that by special re-
quest Campanari sang, in addition to
his programme, the 'Torreador" song
from Carmen" and the baritone aria
from the Barber of Seville" thus per
hitting his audience to hear what he
could really do when at his best and
in the highest class of music. Whilst
Nine. Blauvelt's programme will con-
tain many songs in German, Italian
French and English, she VIII also sing
from "Tannhauser," Barber of Sc
Vile" Romeo and Juliette," and Les
Vepres Siciliennes." The following is
her programme in full, and is proba-
bly, the most elaborate and compre-
hensive programme ever sung by an
artist in this city:
ser'O, (Wagner).
(a) "I,otusblume" (Schumann): (b)
"owuesst ich Doch" (Brahms); Cd
"Win Niemand Singer" (TIildach).

The box sheet will be opened at Nc
Arthur's music house President and
Whitaker streets, at 8 o'clock Tues

Club who have mislaid their member
ship tickets had better look them up,
as seats will not be given to them I'M
less the membership tickets are pre-
scented at the box office.
That Mile de Lusan's recital of last
Wednesday night was called off was a
source of deep regret to those who had
fhniT and whn red
at the theater at the usual hour. They
were anxious to hear the celebrated
artist. The chances are that the op-
portunity will never again be presented
unless the Music Club can bring her
out next season. She Is beyond al,
question one of the greatest artists in
the country to-day. 1t was the irony
of fate that delayed her arrival until
too late for her to appear, and then
permitted her to remain in the city for
three days afterwards. She left only
yesterday afternoon for Waco, Tex,
where a $1,000 audience awaits her APP
pearance Tuesday evening. After
leaving Texas she goes to California,
then to Vancouver Island
The monthly organ recitaIs given by
Mr.. George Blakeley, organist of st.
Johns Episcopal Church at that
church, are proving very interesting
and popular. The second of the winter
series was given last Wednesday ev-
ening, when Mr.. Blakeley was assisted,
as at the preceding one, by Mrs. S. r.
Smith, soprano. The audience was
good one, and displayed great interest
throughout the evening. Mr.. Blakeley
is an organist of good ability and his
programmes are well selected and per-
