1 min readLast night at the Board of Trade hall Professor Edmund Ludwig and his pupils, assisted by Professor Sievers and Professor Rembrandt, gave one of the most thoroughly enjoyable concerts of the season. The music rendered, while classical, was not of the extreme nature, thus affording pleasure to everyone.
Each number of the program was rendered with marked care and excellent ability and reflected immeasurably to the credit of those who acquitted themselves so gracefully. Professor Ludwig is one of Austin's most finished musicians, and that he is capable of instructing others in the art was made manifest last night.
