The Omaha symphony Study orchestra,
under the direction and conductorship of
Mr.. Henry Cox, made its first bow to an
Omaha audience last evening at the First
Congregational church. which was well
filled with an enthused RssemblaRe of
music-loveTs. In fact. the parlors of the
church on the north side of the main audi
forum had to be opened to accommodate
the people, and It was a pay-Rdmission af-
fair too. This should certainly encourage
Mr. Cox and his earnest band of workers
as much as their work encouraged those
who want to see this kind Of musical effort
succeed. The orchestra played with a
most surprising certainty and firmness for
first appearance, and all OF its work was
marked by a good body of tone, as a rule
fine intonation, and much phrasing and
shading Of very professional nature. In
short. the organization showed itself to be
what its name implies, a study" organiza-
ton; for the fruits of serious study were
constantly in evidence. The playing of the
accompaniment to Miss McBride's solo was
! an astonishingly good piece OF work for an
organization composed almost entirely of
On-professional players.
In the forte passages the dash and verve
OF the organization was splendid and the
rhythmic vitality was compelling and in
fictitious
Miss Grace Mcbride as soloist was a
complete success she has accomplished
great deal. and she is coming rapidly
TO the front as an artistic and musicianly
player; she has talent good taste, intelli.
gence and she knows how to work. Her
playing was 30 thoroughly enjoyed that
she was compelled TO repeat the number
after receiving a bouquet OF roses.
At the close OF the program the audisao,
simply declined to move and gave mos
enthusiastic applause TO the orchestra.
Mr.. Henry Cox has shown his sterlina
musicianship and his attitude toward rea
/ music, and he may feel gratified 20 realiz,
that he has given a decided impetus to tn,

ance for two years by some unfriendly
