Descriptive program notes by Mr. Forsyth made Myrtle Webber’s recital in Forester’s Hall, December 7, of special interest. The items were Schumann’s Carnaval scenes, Mendelssohn’s Variations Serieuses, Menuet, by Bizet; Concert Etude, by MacDowell; a nocturne ■and etude by Chopin, sonata by Liszt, Etude de Concert by Pachulski and Schubert-Tausig, Military March. Two compositions by Mr. Forsyth were special features of interest. The Winding Road, op. 51, and the Light of the Summer Stars,
Clara Hire appeared in Academy Hall, December 12, and was assisted by May Taylor, contralto. A Beethoven sonata, a group of light numbers by Liszt, Debussy, Chopin and Enrique Granados and the Weber concerto in F minor, comprised the program. Miss Taylor sang songs by Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Faure, Bizet, Saint-Saëns and Hahn.
Youngstown, Ohio, December 26. — The Oratorio Chorus of the Monday Musical Club, directed by Mrs. Frank B. Horn and assisted by four of Youngstown s prominent church soloists, gave a splendid performance of Handel’s Messiah at Moose Hall, December 18. This year Mrs. Horn’s chorus numbered over ninety, somewhat smaller than last year, yet the 1922 oratorio chorus in even a better one. There is a better balance of parts, more firmness and solidity in the soprano section, and clarity of enunciation. The chorus had an excellent fortissimo to which it has added this year a nice pianissimo. The performance displayed not only the necessary ability but also the result of painstaking rehearsal under the baton of a leader who knows how to make a choir sing effectively.
The American Glee Club united with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra in presenting a concert, December 8, at Moose Hall. Protheroe’s The Night of a Star was its principal offering and afforded the club ample opportunity to display its skill and resource. Giebel’s Life of Youth, Dudley Buck’s In Vocal Combat, Plantation Melodies, arranged by Gage, and several encores were also well received. Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony is ^ the most ambitious work yet undertaken by Harry Warner’s amateur orchestra, and its presentation, December 15, was quite creditable. The orchestra also played Luigini’s Ballet Egyptian and an orchestra suite by Roscoe Reed. An interesting number of the program was a flute duet played by Messrs. 'Noll and Reed, accompanied _ by Mrs. Roy Beeckman, who also accompanied the American Glee Club. The audience demanded an encore, likewise from Andrew Setter, pianist, who was heard in a group of numbers by Moszkowsky and another by Liszt. Mrs. David Stam-baugh, accompanied by■ Mrs. J. Irving Gilmore, presented a group of songs.
Pasquale Tallarico plays a program that is entertaining as well as interesting, and plays with sincerity and convincing musicianship. His recital at Ursuline Academy Hall, December 17, was no exception. Beethoven’s Appassionata Sonata, several Schubert songs arranged by Liszt, and Liszt's tenth Rhapsody were some of his numbers.

The second of the Tarrant series introduced Huberman who made his first bow to a New Orleans audience December 18. It Was a most enjoyable concert. From the first movement of the Mendelssohn concerto to the final encore, the large audience was entirely responsive.

Mrs. Fisher-Cross played the accompaniments admirably, and pleased with some solos.
The Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, directed by U L. Bronson, ooened its second season with a concert m the Masonic Temple auditorium. Von Suppe’s overture Beautiful Galatea; Mendelssohn’s Italian symphony, Schuberts Marche Militaire, Schumann’s Warum, and Edward German’s three dances from Henry VIII formed the program. The players gave an excellent account of themselves and delighted the audience, which included not only local music lovers but scores of people from neighboring cities. A series of monthly concerts will be given by the orchestra for which a very low admission is to be charged in order that good music may' be brought within the reach of as many people as possible. The orchestra is sponsored by the Kalamazoo Musical Society, but is receiving enthusiastic
local support.	„ ■

A group of St. Luke’s choir boys sang old Christmas carols under the direction of their choirmaster, Henry Overley, president of the Kalamazoo Musical Society. John Clark, baritone, and a quintet, composed of Bess Adgate Mrs. G. B. Rogers, Wiilfiam R. Brown, Lynn Clark and Mr. Hammel, gave additional numbers.	.	,

These artists were brought to Kalamazoo by the Alma Clock concert management, of Detroit.	M. J. K.
