THE ADAMoWSKI TRIO.
Woman's Club Gives Brattleboro Peo-
Pile Best Concert in Years.

The people of Brattleboro, which is nat
urally music-loving community, owe a
debt to the music committee Of the Brat
tleboro Woman's club for the delightful
concert given at the auditorium last even
ing by the Adamowski trio of Boston.
The attendance was as large as would be
expected for an entertainment of this
character, which appeals to limited mum.
Der owing to the restricted nature Of the
program. Mrs. Francis p. Blake, chair
man, and Mrs. A. II. Brasor and Mrs. G..
10. Gould, members Of the music commit
tee, have worked indefatigably for the sue
cess OF this concert and have no reason
to be other than satisfied at the result.
The Adamowsh trio is composed of
Timothee Adamowski, violinist, Josef
Adamowsli, cellist, and Nine. Szumow-
ska, pianist, and is rightly considered one
OF the leading concert organizations of
the country. Both brothers have been
members of the Boston Symphony orches-
ira, which they left in order to devote
more time to concert playing. Nine.
Szumowska is the wife of Josef Adamow-
ski and as a pianist and accompanist is
hardly excelled by any woman before the
public today.
The program began promptly at s
o'clock, the first number being the Ruben
four movements the andante and scherzo
best pleasing the audience. While Ruben
stems music is somewhat defective in
form, its melody is so enchanting as to
be always delightful and this trio was
handled throughout in such perfect accord
as to give the impression that all three
instruments were played by one brain
controlling the six hands. The closing trio
by Arensky, a Russian composer was
not as effective. More three-part music
would have added to the interest of the
program, the rest of which was made up
of solos. Of these, Nine. Szumowska's
were easily at the front in spite of the
supposed common indifference to piano
solos. She played three numbers, Ro-
mama by Mozart, Chopin Nocturne in
G minor, and LISTS Campanetta; the
execution in the last was wonderful, show
ing not only slilful artist but also an
instrument of great perfection. Nine.
Szumowska received a hearty encore. Of
the two brothers, Josef Adamowski in his
cello solos, accompanied by Nine. Szumow
ska, deserved greater applause than he
received. His playing was smooth and
finished and his tone perfect. The cello
is a difficult instrument and has been
mastered by few. Mr.. Adamowski should
have received such a hearty encore that
he would have been compelled to respond.
His place on the program, first of the
soloists, was a disadvantage. His selec-
tons were Arensky's Romance, and a
Rondo by the Bohemian composer, Dvorak
Timothee Adamowslli's violin solos, Pad
erewski Melodie, and Bazzani's La Rondo
des Lutins, were accompanied by his
brother, who, although a good pianist,
was so manifestly less good than Nine.
Szumowska that the violin solos suffered
somewhat in consequence. The Rondo,
however, was remarkable exposition OF
the possibilities of the instrument in the
hands of master; his bowling was
revelation and his technic left nothing to
be desired The program was Just the
right length to leave the audience in the
attitude Of wishing for little more The
Adamowski trio will be welcomed in Brat
tleboro if it comes here a second time.
