Withers' Concert Company.
The Herbert Withers Concert Com
pany, whose members reach Honolulu
on June 10 to inaugurate the Hawaiian
festival section of their 'round-the
East next season, reaping where they
have sown-for artistically their tour
since the opening at Colombo on the 9Th
of November last has been a succession
of triumphs. At Madras next season s
appearances of the artists will be ar
ranged by the local musical societies, in
the form of three-day festival Much
the same plan is to be pursued at Bonn
bay, at Calcutta, and at Rangoon. At
Bombay the Governor is taking an ac
tive personal interest in the arrange
ments. His band has enthusiastically
volunteered to assist, and with Mr..
Withers will play half dozen great
works for yioloncello and orchestra, as
well as Schumann IS and Sir Alexander
Mackenzie S pianoforte concertos, with
Nine. Ely. Writing to Mr.. G. Il. Glib
bons, the company's manager, not long
ago, DR.. Edward Behr, the Bombay
bandmaster, said:
''There will be very little for you to
do in connection with your next year s
concerts here. We know the quality of
your people now, and will see to it
that you have full houses. We will, if
you like, send out your circulars from
Government House, and fix up every
thing for a musical festival on Con
tinental lines, to extend over three or
four days. Always remember we want
| no remuneration or share in receipts
for our help. 1t is pleasure and an
education for my men to play with such
an artist, and it is very, very seldom
that musician of Withers' quality
comes to this forsaken part of the earth,
so that we regard it as a delightful
duty for everyone taking any interest
in music to do all possible toward
, making success for the visitors.
At Calcutta next season the Vice
roy S band will play the accompani-
ments for several of Mr.. Withers i'm
portant soil, besides performing with
| him a number of classics for violon-
cello and orchestra Similarly the Stat
muzeik, under DR.. Gerharz, will assist
at Batavia, and the ConstabuIary band
at Manila From what is said of the
concert party by the press throughout
the East, music lovers may well an
| ticipate an exceptional treat In the
Forthcoming concerts. The principal
artists of the touring party are Mr..
Withers, violoncellist; Nine. Luisa So
brine, prima donna soprano (C0vent
| Garden); Mr.. Charles Bennett, the
American baritone, and Nine. Mar
guerite Ely, f. R. A NJ, solo pianiste.
Although it is predicted that the com
ing concerts viii be remembered as dis
tinctly epochal events in the musical
history of Hawaii. 1t is understood
that by the advice of the local agents
the standard prices of admission vii
not be increased.
Seats are on sale now for the Homo
lulu engagement at Bergstrom Music
Company.
