 The concert, from the standard of the quality of music produced, was a great success. It was fine in every way. l uc CuOTuS WOFk SQOW6u u01S0, and an appreciation of the thought of the composer. The rendering of the cantata, "The Holy Child," was ex- quislte. This beautiful composition by Prof Parker of Yale University is grand in its melody as background for the wondrous story of the Christ child. The shading and the intelligent interpretation by the soloists and members of the chorus were most sat isfying. In Part l, the duet by Mrs Haesche and MT Kirschner was fine and received generous applause. Wal ter GOldSmith'S piano playing showed excellent technique, and was appreci- ated by all lovers of music. In re- sponSe to an encore, Mrs HaeSche sang love song composed by MT HaeSche. which was delightfully."- bright and catchy. The violin solo by MT Haesche of one of his own compositions was splendid. It received an enthusiastic encore. MT Kirschner, the talented tenor singer at St Paul's church in New Haven, rendered two very sweet songs, but in response to an encore selected a "taking" song which was admirably adapted to show off his beautiful voice to better advantage. MT and Mrs Haesche are so we'll known Tn the state in the musical circles, that not much need be said of their talents and efforts. Those who come in contact with their genius consider themselves, as well they may, very fortunate.
