Zersen Music deals with the expression of elevated thought; it is the language of the soul. The desire to become acquainted with the charms and beauties of this language gave rise to the Euterpe C;lee Club, and from that desire it still derives its existence. Each year since its beginning the Glee Club has met with acknowledged success, and under the able leadership of Mr. Karl Markworth it has gained considerable popularity with its many Milwaukee friends; especially may this be said of the last two years. Its renditions at the concerts held in the college auditorium are always favorably received, and it has also often been accorded the pleasure of furnishing vocal music at the services of Milwaukee Lutheran churches. At present the members of the CJlee Club number sixty-one. May they all serve their Alma Mater by helping to foster a salutary enthusiasm for the noble art of music. [701

-SITS A (g » iEuBir KARL MARKWORTH Conductor of Cliorua and Clee Club Singing, that most beautiful of all branches of music, is pursued with a high degree of interest at Concordia. The ser- vices of Mr. Karl Markworth have been obtained for the instruction in this branch oi music. Singing classes are conducted every Saturday. He also directs the Eu- terpe Glee Club. The great success this organization has attained in the past few years, and its ever increasing popularity in Milwaukee, can be attributed largely to its energetic and talented leader, Mr. Karl Markworth. H. B. DUETZMANN Conductor of Concordia College Orchestra In the line of instrumental music the orchestral form is undoubtedly enjoyed the most. This phase of music also receives attention at Concordia, and the C. C. Or- chestra is fortunate in having as conductor Mr. H. B. Duetzmann, a well known Mil- waukee violinist. He has directed the or- chestra for many ears, and much praise is due him for producing such splendid re- sults, which de light the public at the semi- annual concerts.

Rosenberg E. Nve An Orchestra is a distinct asset to a college, giving training in music to the players, affording enjoyment to the student body, and advertising the institution at the public concerts. Concordia h as maintained an orchestra for many years, and also during this school year it has enjoyed well-deserved popularity. True, graduation almost always robs it of several valuable players, but new material may be gained from the new students and by diligent practice a smoothly-working organization is obtained. H. B. Duetzmann is again conducting the body and under his able direction the ardent and zealous work of the members has produced gratifying results. The first joint concert of the Orchestra and the Euterpe Glee Club, given on February 20th and 2Ist, was acclaimed a success by the audience and we trust that the next concert in May may be worth of the same verdict.
