The proceeds will be used as mea necleus of a community building u The program was pleasantly varied with Welgh. and English songs in turn--one as pleasing as the other. Prof. Thomas Morgan conducted i nner at once capable and una: suming, and in all the accom ments the pianp work of Prof. Emly Jones was brifliant without being showy. With his rare musical knowl- edge and skill at the piano Prof. Jones greatly assists the singers; either individually or otherwise. Many Encores Given Nothing finer in choral work was ever heard in Bismarck, and the Jarge audience demanded encore af- ter encore, both from the chorus and the soloists. Whether in chorus, duet, quartette or individual effort, eyery selection rendered showed not only a fine mastery of musi tech- nique, but an unusual appreci {the aesthetic loveliness of many the master songs of British and for- eign composers, The outstanding feature of the concert was the exceptional talent of each member of the company. Rare indeed ig the occasion when every: member ‘of a--concert company is .a soloist of merit, but this can be said without exaggeration in régard to the Welsh singers. In balance,-in close harmony, in blending of voices, in richness and temperament {t would be impossible to imagine anything \better or finer. = To pick out any particular number of the evening's program or any one of the several soloists as being bet- ter than the others would be impos-| gible, as such selection would depend entirely upon chooger’s preference for a certain class of music or a of ticular type of Voice.
