SPlENDID (ON(ERT GIVEN BY ARTISTS; REPEATED TONIGHT | is For an hour and a half last eve- ning a large, appreciative and en- thusiastic audience was thrilled by what beyond a doubt the fin- est instrumental concert ever given in Juneau. The concert was given in the Northern Light Presbyterian church sponsored by the Rainbow Girls. It was a real treat for the music lovers of this community. The five young art participating, per- formed ably in a group of numbers ranging from the classics to the moderns; from Bach to Kern. Opening with the Allegro and ‘Fumlé‘ of Haydn's String Quartette No. 30, Opus 74, the members of the Quartet, after a few moments of finding each other, settled down |to a very fine performance, one { which gave much pleasure to the | listening audience. For a new group, with hardly | more than a month’s rehearsal and "playing together, they performed | admirably indeed. Good balance, fine tone quality, and, above all, !playing as one in the ensemble | passages, with clean attacks and ‘,cut»orrs, is the secret of good i quartet playing; and these young |artists made no secret of it. They deserve a lot of credit for attempt- ing difficult works such as they presented last night. Let us hope again at some future time. Star of Concert Most of the audience knew the star of last night's concert when she was a high school student, who sang, played the piano and violin. Miss Sylvia Davis returned to Ju- neau, after her recent USO tour a finished performer, and a fine ar- tist on the most difficult instru- ment in the musical category, the violin. Her performance last night of the | lovely Adagio and breathtaking Finale of Bruch’s G minor Con- certo was that of an accomplished, mature artist. Her intonation in the double stops of the Finale was a joy to the ear. She has made tremendous strides in the mastery of her instrument since the last time she appeared here some three years ago. | Deep Understanding For her second group, Miss Davis chose numbers by such Twentieth | Century composers as Alexander Glazounow, Ernest Bloch, Arthur Benjamin and Fritz Kreisler. It is hard to say which was the best number in this group, but the writ- | er liked best her rendition of Nigun, | the superb middle movement of | Bloch’s Baal Shem Suite. Miss Da- | vis showed deep understanding there. . . Her rhythm and inton- ation in the other three numbers ! were excellent. For her encore she chose the hauntingly beautiful In- termezzo. Accompanying her daugh- ter on the piano, Mrs. Davis prov- ed her usual capable self. Artist On Flute Perhaps next to Miss Davis' solo {work, that of J. Wallace Downs, flutist, shared the high spot of the evening. Mr. Downs is a very fine artist on his chosen instru- ment, as his playing of the Bach | B. Minor Suite proved last night. The quartet played a very restrain- ed and satisfying accompaniment in this beautiful Suite of Joahn Sebastian Bach, widely considered the greatest of composers. In the last group the . Arab Dance from the Nutcracker Suite of Tschaikowsky, with Mr. Braen- del's fine, sustained rhythm, was outstanding, with the little min- jature from Moussorgsky’s Pictures at an exhibition ranking second. With two selections from Jerome Kern's »pen, All, the Things You Are, and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, the artists brought to a close a concert that will long be remem- bered in Juneau. The same program will be re- peated tonight, and those who lcould not attend last night will have a rare treat in store for them.
