What People Are Doing in Evanston

For some years past the School of Music of the university has given a series of four artists' recitals for its pupils and many noted artists have appeared on these occasions. owing to the limited capacity of Music hall but little effort has been made to reach the general public. Believing that the music lovers of Evanston would appreciate the opportunity of hearing these concerts it has been decided, with the co-operation of Mrs. Charles F. Dwight, to give the first three of the series this season at the Congregational church. The fourth, being an organ recital, will be given at Fisk hall in order to make use of the remarkable Casarant organ presented to the university by the alumni. The artists engaged are Horatio Connell, baritone, whose appearance two years ago at the North Shore festival will be remembered; Christine Miller, the well-known and favorite contralto; Paulo Gruppe, the great Dutch 'cellist, and Edwin Arthur Craft, organist of Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland. It is safe to say that such a notable array of recital artists has never before been presented to the Evanston public.
