Commencement Concert.
A threatened storm reduced the size of the audience at the Commencement Concert of the Department of Music at University Hall Friday evening, but the room was comfortably filled and as the storm did not arrive after all, those who attended were wiser than those who did not. The program was somewhat long, and of the usual standard of excellence. Its general character was orchestral; there being only three vocal numbers.
Each part was opened with a well executed eight-hand overture. Miss Drake's vocal solo, the "Lorelei" was given with ease and effect, and was an excellent interpretation. Especially well received were the caprice for two pianos by Misses Spaulding and Brown, and the polonaise by Miss Reeder with orchestral accompaniment. The surprise of the evening was the solo by Miss Bowersock, Dancla, Andantino and polnaise for violin, played with a precision and fire that won merited applause. Miss Orton played her popular Valse de Concert by Wieniawski. The faculty number, a bass solo by Mr. Farrell, suite for violin and piano by Mr. Farrell, and Mr. Preyer, and the orchestral march at the close, were all delightful, except that the last, as well as the ladies' chorus preceding lost something of its effect because of the uneasiness of the audience at the approaching storm. Miss Lichtenwalter's accompaniments were a feature of the program, which is here
