The brilliant gathering OF New
Britainites for the third annusi
Wennerberg male chorus concert
which took place on Wednesday
evening In the First Lutheran
church has lent additional enthus-
iasm among the artists and music
lovers for coming musical events.
Assisting the choristers was Miss
Mary c. Magnet, harpist, and Sven
Hoagherg, baritone. The harpist
made three appearances at the con-
cert. in each appearance playing
three numbers, to which were add

music master. The well-balanced
proportions Of the chorus could
scarcely have been shown to better
advantage.

chorus was in two Swedish num-

Beautiful Isle of Somewhere
by Fearis, is simplicity itself. yet
when given with such high ex-
pressive art as the Wennerberz
singers gave TO 1t, there is never
any doubt as to its astonishing app
peal. This is the hymn that first
attained national prominence by
being sung at the funeral OF tbs
martyred President Mckinley. II
electrified the audience into a more
than customary outburst OF APP
plause. which at the church. was
limited 10 the rafting OF the pro-
grams.
Other numbers by the chorus
were "Vikingarna," by Friebery. in
which Mr.. Hoagberg sang an incl
dental solo: ''Nackrosen." by Frans
