Song Recital Tomorrow Night.

At the song recital, May 2, Master John McGahey, will play the beautiful De Beriot Concerto. The boy prodigy is a masterful player. Referring to a recital given by him last year at his home town, Marion, Ind., tfhe papers bestowed this praise: “The young violinist, who i; lut twelve years old, covered himself with glory. His entire program was played from memory and the large audience applauded enthusiastically. He was assisted at the recital by Mr. Arthur Curran." Master McGahey is bound to please the audience, for besides possessing good technique and perfect bowing, being especially strong in double stops, he shows exceptional musical talent and feeling. He renders even the most difficult passages not only with ease and fluency, but at the same time with a wonderful modulation and 'fullness and roundness of tone. He may well be the envy of violinists of twice his age. He will be heard at Rensselaer on the evening of May 2.
