American Conservatory of Music Private Soirée

For Sat., Feb. 3, 2 pm

Postponed because of severe storm; rescheduled for Wed., 8 pm.

“A very interesting soirée took place last week at the American Conservatory of Music, in which pupils of this celebrated institute distinguished themselves by their excellent performances. Mlle. Rena, a very fine mezzo soprano, from the Opera Français, Paris, assisted, by singing an aria from ‘Norma’ and a duet from ‘Il Trovatore,’ with Mr. Schroeder, the director of the Conservatory, who is the possessor of a sympathetic tenor voice of rare quality. There was also a very promising little artiste on the violin, a Miss Annie Kent, who is only about seven years old, but who plays very artistically. If she continues to advance she will surely become a virtuoso of renown. Among the other pupils that deserve mention were Miss [illegible] and Master Wetmore, who both planed the piano remarkably well. Miss Chapman sang an aria from ‘Martha’very creditably. Mr. Crosby sang ‘The Exile’ with a great deal of feeling, displaying full, clear, sympathetic voice.”
