Choral Union Concert

The concert on Friday evening promises to be an event of extreme musical importance. The principal work to be given upon tiiat occasion is the extremely difficull and dramatic cantata by Josef Rheinberger, entitled Christophoros. This work is illustrative of the legend of St. Christopher, and by virtue of the dramatic element pervading the story, is replete with all of the strenger elements of the modern romantic school of composition. The introductory overture is a noteworthy piece of gympathetic writing, and it is to be hoped that all will be in the hall in time to enjoy this number. The Choral Union has become a chorus of such importance that its flrst appearance this season will be a revelation to those who are unaware of the development of this organization. To seat the chorus and orchestra the extensior stage has to be enlarged, and University Hall will present a wonderful sight on Friday evening. Part II of the program contains four numbers happily contrasted. The Choral Union will be assisted by competent eoloists and an orchestra of thirty musicians, headed by Mr. Wilhelm Yunck.
