We also noticed it as the open ing selection by tho "Germania" at the . Academy of Music last winter when the young Brazilian violinist I). Fugramonl mad" his debut in Philadelphia. The : opera Stmiromuit. was brought out first at | Venice in 1828 and was the most elaborate work ot Rossini's up to that time, and it ; shows considerable pluck in the Orchestra whose members are all amateurs to under take so difficult a selection, but their ob ject is certainly a commendable one, the desire to raise thn standard of music among our people. F.very lover of music should hear thi* beautiful overture. The selec tion* for ibis concert are so varied, con taining as tbey do, cornet, flute and vocal so,os with orchestral accompaniment, that all wiil go away dalighted.
