1181 - H&G May 16: 2/3 - We hear but one expression on the merits of the
Juvenile Concert given by Mrs. Webster's school last evening - and that
is unqualified praise. For ourselves, we hardly know which the more
to admire, the musical proficiency and correctness of the young performers,
or the excellent deportment of the Masters and Misses on the occasion.
Both reflect much honor on teacher and pupils. A correspondent has happily
expressed the feelings of numerous auditory, and we have only room to
add that Miss Oliphant presided at the piano forte in her usual graceful
and pleasing style, accompanying the voices, rather than leading them.

American Falsetto Vocalist, will entertain our citizens at the Musical

approximated so near the female voice, as to excite universal admiration.
His imi tations in the falsetto voice are excellent, and wi 11 richly repay
his auditors. To all lovers of Music we would say, Go and hear him." (2)
