Two choral improvisations by Karg-Elort will bo playctl to-night, and Mendelssohn's overture, "Tlio Hebrides," which is the outcomo of a visit Mendelssohn- paid to Scotland in 1829, should provo to be a musical treat, as this work is supposed to be one of tlio finest orchestral piecos the composer wrote, and waslooked upon by Wagner as the"masterpiece of .Mendelssohn. A fantaisio by Saint-Saens, which is new to Wellington, is a work which opens with a very beautiful melody, which is afterwards worked out to some considerable length. Other compositions to be performed are a fugue (Schumann), "Summer Sketches" (f/cmare), and s reverie by Sih er. The usual prices are being charged.
