Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-05-20
ENJOYABLE CONCERT
A Very Apprecjaiiye Audience
 Listened 10 Fine Production.

The concert by the Waterbury lSSymphony orchestra and the Schu-
 bert club in Buckingham Music nall Ilast evening was attended by very I appreciative audience and was one of the most enjoyable musical events this season. The programme was trifie long, but there were so many pught and airy selections that even though the last number was not con cluded until after 10:30 o'clock the audience was not very tired. Almost every number was encored ana lhls made the programme much longer. The soloists of the evening were Miss May Louise Stanley, violinist, of this city, and Frederick Weld, the baritone, from New Haven. So many complimentary expressions have been showered upon the local artist during the past few months that It would be almost useless to accord her more. Suffice to say that last evening she was herself. MT Weld's singing was simply immense and seemed to be far more pleasing tnan when he was heard at the May fes- tival.
 The Waterbury orchestra has been I in existence only few months, put during that period it indeed has made rapid advancement. James M. Full ton has accomplished wonders with the organization which numbers SIX ty and last evening even those who realized his ability could scarcely be- lieve it was possible for him to bring the orchestra to such a standard Tn so short time. MT Fulton as con ductor appears to very good adyan- tage, and 1t is surprising that he does not do more orchestral conducting. But the orchestra is not alone de- serving of much credit. The Schu- bert club, composed of 100 women, Is as yet only in it's infancy, but dur Ing it's few months of work k. A, Laslett Smith, the director, has drilled the chorus in manner most successful Conductor Smith showed good judgment in not giving the chorus all difficult selections and as result their singing even though It was their first appearance sounded very fine to the audience. % The opening number on the pro- gramme was an overture, Figaro's
 Hochzeit, from Mozart. For an en- core the orchestra rendered Schu-
 mans Traumerii, arranged for the or chestra by William A. Tinsley of this city, himself a member of the Water bury Symphony. "Who Is Sylyia?" and God Is My Guide,' both from
 Schubert. were the first renditions of the club and were followed by MT
 Weld's first number. It was Woo
 Thou Thy Snowflake" from Sulli-
 vans Ivanhoe, and was the bari
 tones only heavy rendition of the
 evening. It was selection which
 gave the soloist ample opportunity to
 send out his rich tones, admirably
 controlled, and made the audience
 sure that MT Weld was in the mood
 to entertain.
 Next came Miss Stanley, who rem
 dered Scotch fantasia in two parts.
 It was rather lengthy, but the audi
 ence did not mind, as it was Miss
 Stanley's only number on the pro-
 gramme. Mrs Adelbert P. Hine ac-
 companied her at the piano.
 One of the most pleasing numbers
 of the evening followed, The Kerry
 Dance" by the club. It had a swing
 to it that the audience thoroughly
 enjoyed, and as the chorus sang it,
 it was just alive with melody.
 Sleep, Little Baby of Mine" was
 the next effort of the club. The sev-
 enth number was three dances from
 Henry VIII" It is with this kind of music that Conductor Fulton is at
 his best and these three selections
 were we'll executed by the orchestra, and an enthusiastic encore was
 given. Conductor Fulton responded
 by repeating the Shepherds Dance.
 Lady Moon" (Bruhnsl, "The
 Auld Fisher" tElma) and Young
 Richard (0ld English) were the
 three final renditions by Mir Weld.
 Tn the first Mir Weld gave what might
 be termed an almost perfect rendi-
 ton: the second. although much
 more difficult, even though light, was
 also admirably sung by the baritone,
 while the last was such that the au- dience demanded an encore, even
 though the programme was even far
 from finished. Mir Weld is an artist on music of this kind.
 The Garden of Flowers" from Denza, was the last for the club. In it were a soprano duet by Miss Jes-
 sic L. Griggs and Mrs D. c. Kinnear,
 an alto solo by Mrs Robert May Spen- cer, a soprano solo by Miss Griggs and selection by a quartette com
 posed of the. above three and Mrs F.
 F. Bartlett. The concluding number on the programme was the "Einzugs- arsch der Bojaren." by Halyorsen. The orchestra brought it out we'll. Last evenings concert was the last of the season. The orchestra and club should do well next season fin
