The first grand concert of the virtuoso takes place this evening at Grunewald Hall, which doubtless will be crowded, to judge of his talent. The programme will comprise a fantasie for the piano on Faust by Teresa Carreno, the Maid of Dundee, sung by Miss Kate L. James, the grand concert in "D" (Paganini), by Wilhemj; a Fantasie Turque (original) and airs Hongrois of Ernst, by Wilhelmj also.
