Terea Carreno, The Child Pianist.

A concert by this wonderful child is to be given at the City Hall, on Friday evening next. She performs the most difficult compositions for the piano with astonishing accuracy and skill and with the style and character which marks the refined musician. The programme embraces selections from Mendelssohn, Chopin, Thalberg, Goria, and other celebrated composers. The Boston papers speak in the highest terms of her performances, according to her a musical finish and sentiment, together with a mechanical proficiency which old artists have toiled for for years, and which many have never reached. She is said to overcome difficulties with a smoothness, ease, and grace really marvellous. All this may seem extravagant, and we advise our readers to go and hear for themselves at the City Hall, on Friday evening next.

Teresa Carreno.

This beautiful child of 9 years, gave a musical entertainment on the piano at City Hall, last evening. A large and appreciative audience welcomed her, though the house was not full to overflowing, as it should have been. The programme consisted of selections from Mendelssohn, Chopin, Thalberg, and other celebrated classical authors. These she played with all the skill of the best performers extant, and delighted all present with the refinement and delicacy with which she rendered the music, leaving nothing to be desired even from the most critical. The Rondo Cappricioso, by Mendelssohn was the feature of the evening; in this she displayed the wonderful nerve and power, together with the immense executive resource which she possesses, and which astonishes every one who listens to her; whole handfulls of chords were showered, as it were, from her fingers' ends in a manner such as no one but an artist, possessed of a masterly genius, can accomplish.

We are pleased to be able to announce that she will give another entertainment at the City Hall, on Thursday evening next, when, we have no doubt, a crowded house will greet her with delight.
