Pittsburg Orchestra Triumph Despite Rain at Convention Hall
The Pittsburg Orchestra and Washington Festival Chorus faced a steady downpour that limited attendance but delivered a strong program. Mme. Gadski sang superbly in The Flying Dutchman and The Erl King, while Emil Paur led a refined Tschaikowsky Pathétique and Schumann with assured baton. The Washington Festival Chorus, under Percy S. Foster, contributed Hail Bright Abode from Tannhauser, though accompanying by the Pittsburg Orchestra was uneven. The concert showcased new interpretive vigor from Paur and growing dramatic polish from Gadski.
