The concert given by the Danish student and alumni singers of
the Royal University of Copenhagen to an effusive audience that crowded
Pabst theater Wednesday night was marked by a number of novel featu
res. No piano was used. The old-time tuning forks were employed
to get the pitches. Solos were given with an accompaniment by the
chorus only in every instance. The chorus remained standing through
each section of the program (each member holding his student cap),
even while quartet numbers were given. The effect was pleasing for
the sake of novelty if for no other.
Though composed of amateur singers—fifty members selected from
some 400 applicants at the Copenhagen University—the chorus deserves
high rank from the professional standpoint because of thorough training
under Conductor S. Levysohn of the Royal opera.
Vi havde Følelsen af, at Koncerten i det næsten fyld te »Pabst
Theater« knap v a r saa v e llykk et som de foregaaende. Støvet fra
Væddekørslen om F o rm id
dagen v a r ikk e gan ske fo r
svundet a f Halsen, og saa
generede det os m aask e at
se, at D am erne ikke k la p
pede, men overlod denne
ganske vist i V arm en lidt
anstrengende F o rm for B i
fald sytringer til det stærke
Køn. Men da vi efter Kon
certen mødtes med Dam erne
i K lubb en s L o k a le r og hørte
a f deres egen Mund, at vi
havde sunget som »smaa
Engle«, slog vi os til Ro
med, at ogsaa •B ifaldstil
kendegivelser er underkastet
Modens Lun er. Kon su l
B e c h
fra Chicago, som overvæ rede
Koncerten, fo rsik rede os, at
v i havde sunget lige saa smukt
som i »Orchestra Hall«,
og P ressen v a r næste Dag
overordentlig godt tilfreds
med vore Ydelser. Hosstaa-
ende en Anm eldelse a f Kon-
Runestenen i Milwaukee skandinaviske Klub.
