The Harvard Choral Class of mixed voices formed by students of Harvard and of Radcliffe jointly will bring their studies of this, their first year, to a close by giving a public rendering, in concert form, of the music of Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, "The Pirates of Penzance," in Sanders Theatre on next Monday evening.
The assistance of the Germania Orchestra, and of the following soloists has been secured: Miss Violo Campbell, of Cambridge, Mrs. Grace Campbell Cooke, of Boston, E. M. Waterhouse '97, and Mr. Harry B. McAdam, Miss Mary W. Edwards, and Miss Eva Mae Clark, all of Boston. The soloists from the class will be F. D. Sawin L. S., and John F. Neal '97.
The choral class is composed of nearly 100 men from Harvard, and of about 50 girls from Radcliffe. It has simply been a class for training those whose voices were sufficiently good to pay for their development. To use the words of Mr. Frese, the vocal instructor, the chief object has been "to teach the people at large to sing."
The class has been meeting twice a week through the winter in Lower Dane. The class meets jointly on Tuesdays, the girls from Radcliffe alone on Thursdays, and the men alone on Friday.
The work of the class has been divided into vocal culture and chorus singing, especial attention having been paid to the latter. During the year some sacred music has been practiced but lately the chief work has been done on "The Pirates of Penzance," in preparation for the concluding entertainment.
To defray in part, the necessarily large expense of this concluding entertainment subscription tickets were placed on sale. These tickets were subscribed for by several members of the Faculty, by the Harvard musical associations and by a few people in Cambridge, interested in the class.
Most of the seats have been taken but there are some remaining. These can be obtained in Lower Dane today from 4.30 to 5, or on Monday from 5.30 to 6. Admission tickets will also be on sale at the place and time.
