The Pierian Chorus.

Trials for the Orchestral Chorus of the Pierian Sodality will be held tonight and tomorrow night at 7 o'clock in Roberts Hall. The formation of a chorus which is to give concerts together with the regular Pierian orchestra, marks a great change in the policy of the Sodality. It is proposed to create a chorus with twenty-four voices at the very least, and thereby to vary the programmes of the different concerts, to increase the membership of the Sodality, and to improve its social life.

At each concert the orchestra will play a number of selections, and the remainder of the programme will be devoted to the rendering of choral music and selections from light operas by the chorus accompanied by the orchestra. Mr. Gustav Strube, who has already been engaged as coach for the orchestra, will have direction of both organizations. E. S. Bacon, 1L. assisted by B. E. Mead '03 will have the general direction of the of chorus during the rehearsals.
