DEATH OF A MUSICIAN.
The death is announced of Mr. Sydney Hart, the well-known and accomplished violoncellist, who for many years was associated with leading musicians of Melbourne. The late Mr. Hart (saya the Argus) was a thorough musician, and so thorough a master of the violoncello that his aid was invaluable when the highest class of composition had to be presented. His retirement from the celebrated Zerbini Quartette was a great loss to the patrons of chamber music. Mr. Hart was in declining health for some time, but up to a few weeks ago hopes were entertained of his recovery, and he was announced to perform a 'cello solo on the night on which he died, a remarkable coincidence being that the date of the concert at which he was to perform was fixed by himself, and proved to be the date of his demise. Mr. Hart, who was comparatively a young man, leaves a widow.
