That Los Angeles is to be greatly
the gamer by the coming among US
of the men composing the NoWland
Hunter trio no one will doubt who
heard their first concert given Monday
evening in Symphony hall
The audience was composed largely
of musicians and the reception accord
ed these newcomers was an enthusiast
tic one. The program consisted of
Mendelssohn's D minor trio, Greig's G
major sonata for violin and piano and
Gades Novoletten. The Mendelssohn
number with it's beautiful violin and
cello duets in the second and fourth
movements, was warmly received, as
was Mr.. NOWland in the Greig sonata.
The Gade trio was no less enjoyable.
1t is to be hoped that the Los Angeles
public may have many more oppor-
tunities of hearing such music as the
trio rendered last Monday evening.
Bernhardt BierHch, the well known
first 'cellist Of the Los Angeles Sym
phony orchestra, has returned after an
absence of six months spent travelling
in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, etc,
visiting many old colleagues and rela-
tives.
Among the most noted musical fes-
tivals which he attended was one given
in Jena, Mr.. Bierlich's birthplace
which is given only every fifty years
Mr.. Bierlich has had the pleasure of
being present at two of these celebra-
tions, the one given this last summer
and that of fifty years ago.
The eighteenth free orchestra con-
cert of the First Methodist Episcopal
Sunday school orchestra, under the di-
rection of Earl Bishop Valentine, as
sisted by Theodocia Longenecker, vio-
linist, and Markwood Ront erger, flut-
ist, given last Monday evening was
largely attended by an appreciative
audience.
