says of it:
Grand Forks Herald: The third an
nual concert given by the faculty of
Wesley College Conservatory of Music
was held last evening at the auditor
ium. l.
This feature Of the autumn's must
cal activities has become so popular
tickets necessitated change from the
opera house, and the magnificent audi
ence of last evening gave evidence of
the drawing power OF the local artists.
The conservatory opens its year with
three new faculty members. OF these
Miss Jennie Anderson, the teacher of
voice, was unable to appear on the pro.
gramme on account of an attack of
pneumonia. Miss Often, teacher of the
new department of expression, and c. 1
A. Lampert, violinist, both appeared to
such an advantage that they may feel
certain of an established position in
the community. Mr.. Rowland and Miss
Hulburd are old favorites with Grand
FORKS music lovers and need no intro
duction.

with group of Chopin, two preludes,
well contrasted, and the magnificent
polanaise in A fat. His interpretations
were we'll thought out and consistent
and the famous octave passage in the
polonaise, often taken too fast, was in
this instance given the stately tempo
in accord with court procession.
The violin numbers given by Mr..
Lampert added wealth of artistic i'm
agery to the program. He plays with
the authority of seasoned performer
and his beauty of tone, together with
an ample technic, are the means by
which he Is able to reveal his skill and
temperament to the listener. The slow
movement of the Mendelssohn con-
certo WIGS given IN a most poetic man.
ner and the brilliant finale, although
classic in form, was invested with true
romantic feeling. The great technical
difficulties of this movement were
scarcely realized because of the ease
with which they were surmounted.
The enthusiasm which Mr.. Lampert
aroused was evidenced in most Wig
orous applause to which he responded
with the justly famous Traumerie from
Schumann's Child Scenes In the bal
lads and polonaise by Vieuxtemps, Mr..
Lampert, scored another triumph and
it is safe to predict fine future for
the violin department of the conserva-
tory. 49, 49,, c. =. -. ri
