THE URSO CONCERTS.
Last night concluded this series of the most delightful performances cf the choicest gems of classical music which have been heard in Chris! church, and general regret is felt that a few more opportunities cannot be given of hearing this most accomplished violinist. The attendance has night by night been on the increase, and the season closed to by far the best house of all, with the exception of the Queen’s Birthday. Madame Urso’s good nature was even more heavily taxed than usual. The two numbers upon the programme were swelled' by encores to seven. Ernst’s Rondo Papogeno and a Valse Caprice by Wieniawski were the first solos given in each part, and the encores were a Barcarolle by Spohr, Souvenir of Haydn, a Minuet by Boccherini, the “ Carnival,” and “ The Last Bose of Summer.” The lady singers were at their best, and earned hearty applause for all their efforts. Mr Sauret’s solos were highly appreciated, and also his duet in the first part, “ The Dance JMacabre,” which he played in conjunction with Mr Scherek. Tonight Madame Urso will appear at the Colonists’ Hall, Lyttelton, and next day departs for Dum din.
