Florence Menkmeyer, the famous pianiste, who will shortly appear here, is thus spoken of by Galignani's Messenger of Paris:—The concert symphoaique given last Baturday at the Theatre du Palais, with Miss Florence Menkmeyer as soloist, was a brilliant success. Miss Menkmeyer's performance of Beethoven's Concerto in E flit was superb the adagio being played with a soulful interpretation that seemed to breathe the very spirit of the master, and in the allegro movement the artiste displayed marvellous technique, eaeh note seunding clear and

precise. The second portion of the concert gave Miss Menkmeyer an opportunity for the exercise of force and brilliancy of execution, and her rendering of Litzt's Bhapsodie roused her audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Bravos and recalls rewarded the young artist for what was really an unrivalled performance. The orchestra, under the conductorship of Maestro Gervasio, were worthy of the brilliant artiste. We are pleased to loam that Miss Menkmeyer will be heard again next Friday at a grand conceit symphonique to take place at the opera here, when the orchestra will assist under the condnctorship of Maeslro Luigini. Miss Menkmeyer will perform Beethoven's Sonata Op. 57, Liszt's Rhapsedie Hongr&ise as a piano solo, and ochumana's Concerto in la-majeur with the orchestra. The art unoion in aid of Mr. 0.
