The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-03-08

the first time a number of new and
good voices from among her pupils.
Not only has it proved an excellent
medium for introducing these rev
singers, but it has been a good way of
gradually giving confidence to them.
And there is no doubt but that many
excellent voices have been kept con-
cealed solely on account of lack of
confidence. These teas of Mrs. Teas
dale's have become so popular that her
spacious parlors and hall have heen
overlooking at each of them recently.
Mr.. w. P. H. McIlveen, who former
ly sung tenor in the First Baptist
Church in this city, and who has been
residing in Brunswick for several
months, is in the city for a few days,
and will sing the offertory at the First
Baptist Church tonight. During his
residence in Brunswick Mr.. McIlveen
has declined to accept a church choir
position, but has sung in one of the
different churches there every Sunday.
Signor Giuseppe Aldo Randegger,
the young Italian pianist we'll known
to the people of Savannah, made his
first New York appearance on last
Thursday evening in the Astor Gallery
at the Waldorf-Astoria. He played to
large audience which exhibited their
approval of the artist by repeated and
tremendous applause. His programme
included works of Beethoven, Bach,
Galuppi, Liszt and Chopin, and he
also played a gavotte of his own COM
position which was several times en-
cored. His first appearance in the
| musical center of America was a dis
tinct success. Signor Randegger has
appeared in Savannah on two occa-
sions. The first time was in 1896 when
he gave a recital at one of the con-
certs of the Music Culture Club. The
theater on that occasion was COM
pietely filled, and above 900 people
heard him and gave him the tremen-
dous applause and ovation which his
performance merited. He next play
ed here at a benefit concert to assist
in paying off an indebtedness of the
Music Culture Club, gracefully giving
his services without compensation as
mark of gratitude for the courtesies
which he had received here on his for
mer visit. This concert was given in
the banquet hall of the De Soto on
Feb. 10, 1898, and the programme was
in two parts. The first part was fur
nished by DR.. j. G. Van Marter,
Messrs. George w. Beckett, M D. Co.
burn, w. c. Walker, H. Won Linstow.
Miss Emma E. Coburn, Mrs. w. w.
Gross and Mrs. S. F. Smith. The sec
ond was given entirely by Signor RAN
degger. 1t was at that concert that
Signor Randegger played for the first
time in public his gavotte which was
so warmly received on last Thursday
evening. During the past few years
S1gnor Randegger has been in Italy
and other parts of Europe, where ne
| has made good success in concert
work, and his return to America pre-
sents to the music lovers of this coun-
try pianist of rare ability.
Last Monday evening Mr. and Mrs.
f. E. Rebarer entertained the mem
| bers of the Cathedral choir at their
residence on Harris street, east. The
evening was devoted to an informal
musicale, and many solos as we'll as
| concerted vocal numbers were given
and thoroughly enjoyed.
