Organized primarily for radio work as a_choral group of church soloists the Choir Invisible made its debut as a visible and extremely audible organi- | the direction of Joseph Pache in the studio, 17121; I street, Iast night. Mr. Pache is well known one who has been associated for nany vears with choral and other musical work in Baltimore. For some time he has maintained a Washington studio as well. Since last fall he has had the direction of this comparatively new group, the Choir Invisible. At the musical last night, the charming studio, which was formerly a ballroom, was filled to overflowing with an audience which seemed to en- foy the program. As there was an other musical event on at the same time, the writer was able to hear only two of the choral selections and one| soloist. From this hearing, however it was interesting to note how the oratorio style of singing dominated | both interpretations by the choir. The | first, Corsi's “Adoramus Te, Christe" was sung with more subdued tonal effects, and the old Latin music is lovely to hear. Brahms’ “How is Thy Dwelling Place,” is a very difficult number for any but the best-trained group, and requires ex. actness of voice blending to give its best effect. It always is a question as to whether a chorus can be welded from voices trained and of the requisite natural timber for solo work. Judg- ment on the Choir Invisible's success in this respect hardly can be passed after so limited a hearing and in first public appearance. No choral &roup can expect to achieve in a few months such effects as Dr. Davison has worked out with that finest mple of choral groups, the H rd Glee Club, in & number of years. The other choral numbers last | night included Protheroe’s “Land of | the Leal,” Saar's arrangement of the | Irish “Little Red Lark,” and Schu- | bert’s “Omnipotence. The solofsts were Mrs, Star| Sprinkle, soprano, of Harrisonburg, | Va., who sang “Hear Ye, Israel™; Roy Williams. tenor, of Baltimore, who sang Beethoven's “Adelaide,” La Forge's ‘“To a Messenger” and | Whitney-Coombs' “Her Rose,” and Richard McCarteney of Washington, who has a remarkably fine voice, | sang Schubert's “Litany,” “Ich Grolle Night” by Schumann, and, as | encore, Purcell's “Passing By.” Mr. McCarteney and Mr. Williams sang the duet, Faure's “Crucifix. | The choir personnel is: Sopranos, | piano by his sister-in-law, Amelia M. Mrs. C. C. McDonnell, Mrs. Ida W. Seaton, Mrs. W, F. Boyd, Mrs. W, F 1 Haggart, Miss Em illiams; basses, Charles W. Moore, Marion Kless, W. C. Gilbert, Richard McCarteney and Alexander H. Galt. The accompan- ist is Mrs. Benjamin Wallace. STANLEY OLMSTED’S RECITAL. Local Newspaper Man and Novelist Appears in Role of Pianist. Stanley Olmsted, known in Washing- ton literary and musical circles as a writer both of journalistic and fiction THE EVENING works and one who has chosen the piano as his instrument for musical interpretation, presented a program that was especially interesting for the modern and American works it in- cluded at the Washington Club last night. As many of those in the au- dience were personal friends of Mr. Olmsted, & decldedly informal air was evident in the soloist’s attitude toward his audience. A lovely touch of Spring was given in the two huge vases of | uit blossoms conspicuous on the plat form. Mr. Olmsted remarked during the course of the recital that he was not to be judged as a planist, but as “a novelist at the piano.” In the first number, a two-piano suite by Arensky, and the last, Rach- maninoff's “Concerto in C Minor,” Mr. Olmsted was assisted at the second Olmsted. The writer did not hear the first suite, but in the concerto Mrs. Olmsted showad fine co-operation with the first pianist under rather trying circumstances, for the two players could not facs each other, as is cus- tomary, and she had to trust to com- plete rhythmic co-ordination through the medium of the notes, which both used. A group of rarely heard MacDowell pieces formed an interesting picture of the work of one American com- poser. Quite different in mood and treatment was the group of modern American pleces by Eastwood Lane. They are especially full of life and color. Mr. Olmsted, who is a friend of Mr. Lane’s, played ‘“Katrina's Waltz,” from “Sleepy Hollow,” and “The Pow-wow,” written in the Amer- fean Indian idiom. Because of the length of the program, he unfortu- y chose to eliminate the other delightful Lane composition, Pucker,” which uses «u jazz idlom.
