Williamstown, Mass., February 10, 1922.—Maximilian Pilzer gave a violin recital recently for the Williamstown College students, and was enthusiastically received. He was accompanied by Francis Moore. Both artists displayed splendid musicianship in the Cesar Franck sonata, which was given with artistic style and finish and splendid interpretation. The “Faust” fantasy, by Wieniawski, and the “Ronde des Lutins,” by Bazzini, served to show Mr. Pilzer’s excellent technic. It was a very enjoyable concert.
Youngstown, Ohio, January 20, 1922.—Sophie Bras-lau reappeared here on January 17 and gave of her wealth of vocal art and musicianship. Few singers have been heard here who so delight the ear and inspire with the inner message of a song. Many encores were insisted upon. Edith Cave-Cole’s accompaniments again won appreciation.
February Itinerary for Werrenrath
Reinald Werrenrath recently went on what the parlance of the day calls “his big California and far western tour.” It is three years since the baritone has found time to go far beyond the Mississippi River. At times he has dashed west for a concert now and then, but the exigencies of eastern work have prevented what one could call a real tour.
After singing seven concerts in twelve days in five different states, Mr. Werrenrath started for Omaha, Neb., where he gave his first recital of his tour on January 19. He then appeared in Denver; Col., and planned to spend several days in the Grand Canyon prior to his recital in Riverside, Cal., January 31. It was wise, on his part, to attempt to get a short rest by snatching these few days for a trip to the mineral depths of Arizona, for he faced the huge task of giving seventeen concerts in twenty-eight days in California, Washington and Oregon.
Mr. Werrenrath's appearances were as follows: Riverside, Cal., January 31; Claremont, Cal., February 3; Visalia, Cal., February 5; Merced, Cal., February 6; Oakland, Cal., February 7; Palo Alto, Cal., February 9; Stockton, Cal., February 10; San Francisco, Cal., February 12; Fresno, Cal., February 14; San Diego, Cal., February 15; Los Angeles, Cal., February 16; Los Angeles, Cal., February 18; San Francisco, Cal., February 19; Portland, Ore., February 22; Tacoma, Wash., February 23. He will sing in Vancouver, B. C., February 25 and in Seattle, Wash., February 27.
March also starts off with a rush—recitals, joint recitals and orchestra appearances in Pullman and Spokane, Wash.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Bismarck, N. D.; Milwaukee, and Wausau, Wis., etc. The list is too long to mention.
His second New York recital at Carnegie Hall takes place Sunday afternoon as usual—April 2—after which he will sing ten concerts, among them the “St. Matthew Passion” of Bach, at the April Spring Festival on April 13, and the Aeolian Hall concert given by the Beethoven Association on the 17th.
Activities of Louis Kazze
On the afternoon of January 25 Louis Kazze, the pianist, of Philadelphia, gave a recital at the Campbell School. He prefaced each of his compositions with an explanation of the significance of it, and the children were delighted with

who possess real interest in the musical development of Utah. This Utah federation will shortly include on its rosier the choirs, clubs, societies, choruses and individuals whose private or public function is music, either for community pleasure or private gain.
San Antonio, Texas, January 25, 1922,—The String Players, Bertram Simon conductor (an auxiliary to the Tuesday Musical Club) appeared in a benefit concert for the Salvation Army, January 11, Bertram Simon conducting. The ensemble was splendid, the tone beautiful, and the works were given with musicianly interpretation. The assisting soloists were Julien Paul Blitz, cellist, whose tone is rich and full; Mrs. Guy Simpson, contralto, who sang three numbers, each showing to advantage her quality of voice. Mrs. Lawrence A. Meadows was the accompanist.
The eighteeenth season of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, Julien Paul Blitz conductor, and Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, president, opened auspiciously when the first concert in the series of six was given January 12, with Charles Harrison, tenor, as soloist. The Schubert symphony in B minor was the opening number. The sections were well balanced, with good volume of tone. Mr. Harrison’s numbers included the arias from “La Boheme” and “Elisir d’Amore,” given with a flowing quality of tone and splendid breath control. The orchestra played excellent accompaniments. He was obliged to give encores and for these he was accompanied by Mrs. Lawrence A. Meadows, the official accompanist for the orchestra. Mrs. Meadows also compiled the instructive program notes. Ben Newman is the efficient orchestral manager and librarian. The usual public rehearsal was held in the afternoon, at which time a large audience was present.
Sousa and his band appeared in San Antonio, January 13, under the local management of M. Augusta Rowley. For the matinee nearly every seat in the house was taken, and at night hundreds were turned away. C. J. Russeli (librarian and one of the assistant conductors) explained the various instruments. All the numbers on the program were given with finish, for which the band is famous. Encores were granted after each number, including Sousa’s famous marches in response to the tumultuous applause which followed each number. The soloists were John Dolan, cornetist (also assistant conductor) ; Mary Baker, soprano, who displayed a warm, rich quality; Joseph De Luca, euphoniumist; and Florence Hardeman, violinist, who played with clear, sweet tones. The evening program brought forward the orchestra soloist, George Carey, who played the xylophone. John Dolan and C. J. Russell conducted for the soloists.
The Sorosis Club entertained the convalescent soldiers of the base hospital, Fort Sam Houston, with an enjoyable program, January 19, with the following participants: Marjorie Will, reader; Tuesday Musical Octet, Mrs. Edward Sachs, leader; Mrs. Guy Simpson, contralto; Frederick King, organist; Ruby P. Hardin, soprano; David Ormesher, tenor, and Mrs. Fred Jones, soprano. The accompanists were Mrs. Edward Sachs and Airs. Harry Leap.
The second concert in the series of six by the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, Julien Paul Blitz conductor, was given January 19, with Mrs. Julien Paul Blitz, pianist. It is needless to repeat each time that Mr. Blitz conducts with an experienced hand. Mrs. Blitz chose for her number the brilliant Lalo concerto in F minor, for piano. Her tone is powerful, and her technic is remarkable. She received prolonged applause between each movement, and at the close received , an ovation. The orchestra gave her splendid accompaniment. The program notes were_ written by Mrs. Lawrence A. Meadows. San Antonio is justly proud of Mrs. Blitz.
Alberto Salvi, harpist, was presented in recital, January 20, by M. Augusta Rowley. Prolonged applause followed each number, and he was recalled several times after the first group. He is a genius on the harp. He shows the harp in a new light. This is his second visit, he having-played here last season as soloist with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra.
M. Augusta Rowley presented the eight famous Victor artists, namely, Billy Murray, Frank Croxton, John Meyer, Henry Burr, Albert Campbell, Fred Van Eps, Monroe Silver, and Frank Banta. January 2 the program was of a popular type, consisting of monologues.
The faculty of the San Antonio College of Music—John M. Steinfeldt, piano; Bertram Simon, violin, and David Griffin, voice—appeared in recital, January 22, in the college auditorium. An enjoyable program was given and encores were demanded. This recital was the first of a series to be continued every Sunday afternoon until each pupil in the college has appeared. In the near future the assistant teachers will present a program.
