A news report, typical of its time, of local concert activity by a notable musician.
I find these things interesting for their testimony to what composers and repertoire were in play at the time.
Horatio Parker?
Demare?
Orem?
Parker remains in memory as a college teacher of Charles Ives. The others would be extinct but for the internet.
Meyerbeer's "Torch Dance"? Turns out he has at a least four.
Originally written for band by Meyerbeer! I had no idea.
