In the Churches HE El Day Male Quartet of Chi- cago will assist Harry Edward Mueller in the musical vesper service T is interesting to observe that e»:cry variety of musical entertainment that has come to Washington tifis season seems to suggest the cycle. This cycle idea applies to botheindividual artists and organizations. One famous choral group decifes upon a certain date to visit the Capital city, and, somechow, other firge choral organizations happen to land here either just before or just ?iler it. Last weck the harpists gave us interesting variations of individual methods for playing this lovely instrument. At present we seem tp be in the midst of an onslaught of famous baritones and dancers—De Gogorza, Ruffo and John Charles | Thomas all coming within a fortnight ¢f each other. The Denishawn and Duncan dancers are being followed by a promising program tomorrow night by the Pemberton Dancers, «a Washington coterie. Pavlowa has announced her visit to Washingtoif, however, for a later date, probably the first of April. H Not that this grouping of competitive artists or artistic organizations is to be regretted. On the other hand, it rather adds to the interest by the very comparisons that it invites. It is simply rather a series of remark- able coincidences that have develeped in this stratum arrangement of musical attractions for the local sehson. * % k Xk HIS week, on Friday afternoon§ eleven-year-old Shura Cherkassy, the Russian boy pianist, will inausurate the season's series of concerts by piano soloists. To date, the ogly pianists to appear here have been Olga Samaroff, as assisting artist Wwith the New York Symphony,a couple of weeks ago, and several finesacgompanists who also have given short groups of solo numbers. ¥ Many musical authorities hav now must be nearly twelve years éld (he has been eleven for all his pre- vious concerts here), to be the greal Hofmann. His technical proficienc { : _ Shura’s concert has special sighificance, preceding, as it does, the first concert here this season by Hofmznn himseclf. 2 * W ok 'HE New York Symphoay Orchestra will be heard in recital tomorrow night, with Mr. Damrosch présenting the second of his famous ex- planatory concerts of the on &t the Central High School under pices of the Washington Society fof Fine Arts. On Tuesday aiternoon the orchestra will present a differcht program at Poli's Theater under the auspices of Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s oncert bureau. Richard Crooks, tenor, and Gustave Tinlot, violinist, will fe assisting artists at this concert. One of the most interesting orchestral numbers Tuesday will be Wagne overture to Goethe's “Faust.” ¢ . “When I composed it,” Wagnér is said to have once written to Liszt, “L intended to write a complete Waust' symphony; the first movement (actually written) was simply thi€ solitary ust in his longing, despair and cursing; the ‘womanly’ only hovers over his fancy as a figment of his desire, but not in its divine rrelny. and this insufficient image of his longing is precisely what he demofishes in his despair. It was to be leit for the second movement to bring: forward Gretchen, the woman. I had the theme for it all ready, but it rémains a mere theme. dropped. I wrote m; explanation.” On January 19, 1855, he wrotf again to Liszt: “Absurdly enough, 1 have been seized just now with a \dvid desire to work over my old ‘Faust’ overture. I have composed an entigely new score, have written the instru- mentation anew throughout, madeesome radical changes, also given more elaboration and significance to the middle (second motive).” * % ok X STAFEOR_D PEMBERTON says Yhat he is endeavoring to make his or- Famzznon of 150 dancers a Washington institution, and hopes even- tually to make Washington the ¥orld center of classical dancing.

Interesting speeches were given on the development of musit both here and in the neighboring city gf Baltimore. The musical whicl followed the luncheon was unusually ne. ¢ Amanda Ransdell, violinist, {played in charming fashion Drdla’s “Guitarrero,” “Song My Mother S&ng” and “From the Canebrake.” Eliza- beth Gutman, soprano, sang Masienet’s aria, “Il est Doux,” Benvenuti’s “Sul Fiume,” a Ukrainian folk sonz, and “The Sleep That Flits on Baby’s Eyes,” by Cargcnter. Ruth Gervgis accompanied Miss Gutman on the piano. Helen Corbin Heinl gave ! variant short group for the piano by three master composers—Chopin, :MacDowell and Moszkowski. To add to_the picturesque charm of the occasion, Princess Tsianini, the Indian princess, who sings Cadman’s songs so delightfully, was present in cos- tume and gave a short address. ¢ * gk k Xk A NOTHER large local musical @vent that took place last week was the fine singing of Haydn's oratqrio, “The Creation,” by the Choral Art Society under the direction of G?rgc Harold Miller last Thursday even- ing. The Washington College of #usic Orchestra gave the Haydn “Sym- phony No. 2" first movement, at well as providing the accompanying music for the singers. ¥ The large chorus was ad:quage in the choral numbers, and the solo- ists included such well known local singers as Mrs. Clara Young Brown, soprano; J.
