THE BRUNNER CONCERT.
The concert at the Temple of Truth last night, iv aid of the Brunuer Fuud, was a very great success, both financially and musically. The handsome building waa crowded, and the perfect acoustic qualities enabled both artists and audience to sing aud hear to perfection. Miss Alice Corriok, who has a very excellent soprano voice, sang the florid music of " Bid Mo Discourse " vary artistically, and responded to an encore with " I was dreaming." In tha second part she sang her solo very well indeed. Alias Lilt'au Smith, whose fine voice ia heard too rarely at our concerts, saug her two numbers with much success. Miss Hilda Meadows sang iv the first parb Masoheroni's "For All Eternity," with violin obligato by Mr Nottingham, and iv the 88coud '«All in a Garden Fair." Both songs wero very artistically sung and were warmly applauded. Siguor Borzoni's tine resonantb&ritono and cultured style of singing came out to great advantage in his two solos, particularly the cavatina from " Luci-ma Borgia." Ho gave as an encore a pretty littie ballad, " If," in which ho showed himself equally at home iin the more tender style of singing. Rev. jA. Mitchell sang " The Toilers" with much power, and tor an cucore gave "The Steersman." M,r Lovell was heard to advantage iv Roeokel's song, " Glory." Mr Millar sang two solos welt, aud Mr Woodhouse is to bo complimented on his singing of the numbers allotted to him. Mr Nottingham, a violinist of considerable ability, made bis debut iv public. Mr Nottingham exhibits a good deal of power, some of which might with advantage be repressed ; but he plays with much soul and expression. His firsc solo, " Souvenir d' Haydn," was admirably played, and be was heard to advantage also in the trio with Miss Var tha aud Mr Bonnington, both of whom played excellently. Mr Faulkner played very well indeed in a dueb tor organ aud piano with Mis Edgar, and also a solo. Mrs Edgar and iVlisg Vartha were good as accompanist.-, and Mr Woodhouse acted as musical director. v -
