The Philharmonic Society gave its first evening concert of the season last night at Carnegie Hall. The pièce de résistance of the programme was a novelty, the symphony in E major by Joseph Suk. It proved to be a rather strong work of considerable merit, and the audience was not slow to recognize it. The most applause was bestowed upon the slow movement, while the first allegro, undoubtedly the most important movement of the four, received only scanty applause. Emil Paur read the score with his usual zeal and vigor; he seemed to be in special sympathy with the work. The other orchestral numbers of the programme were Brahms's Academic Festival Overture and Esser's arrangement of the great organ toccata in F major by Bach.

The soloist of the occasion was Mme. Teresa Carreno, who actually seems to grow younger and stronger with each year. She playd the B flat minor concerto by Tschaikowsky with a vigor that carried everything before her, and won her a storm of applause and repeated recalls.
