MISS CASTLES'S CONCERTS.
Miss Amy Castles will bid farewell to New Zealand prior to her return to London, where she is shortly to appear in grand opera. A series of concerts will commence in Wellington on Stiturday evening, arid a second concert will be given on the following Monday evening. Miss Castles created a. very favourable impression in Australia on her reappearance on the concert platform after an absence of eight years. Her personality, combined with her sweet and sympathetic soprano, has won for her a permanent place in tho all-ections of all music-lovers in Australia. Miss Castles has not only returned to the land of her birth a full, recognised artist, but she sings with a freedom and grace, with the winsome efflorescent quality of a born singer. "Better than her vocal attainment," sayb a leading critic, "through her command of a polished legato, her tonal purity, her fine phrasing, admirable enunciation, and 'messa, divoee' — all those elements, in fact, on which depends the display of that emotional expression which makes the truly great singer." Miss Castles. w ill be supported by Herr Alexander Camphausen (bass baritone, from Leipzig), Herr Louis Hcttenbrch ('cellist), and Mr. William Conway (pianist).
