WASHINGTON, D. ¢ Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Progrnms. Pianisis’ Club Presents Final Program. 'HE fifth and last concert of the minth annual series of piano- forte recitals was given by the Wash- ington Pianisie' Club Saturday eve- at the Columbia ‘Heights’ Christian Church, and it brought, to & conclusicn a festival of highly artistic piano playing. The two soloists of the evening were Dorothy Hobley, presented by Amelia Mene- fee Olmsted, and Winifred McGre- gor Michaelson who substituted for an active member. Miss _Hobley opened her rec with Bach’s “Italan Concerto. third and second movements, and Mozart’s “Sonata jn B Flat Major.” Bith numbers were played with a crisp, incisive touch, delicacy in shading and neat, tidy phrasing. Her second group included a “Noc- twne in E Minor,” by Chopin; Bartkiewler's “Etude,” “Prelude, C Sharp Minor,”_by Huicheson, and Valse.” from “Nafla,” by Delibes- Donanyi. More warmth of cclor in certain numbers would not have been amiss, but in the brilliant num- bers, such as the waltz, Miss Hobley displayed excellent pi c qual- j With the sble co-operation of teacoer, Mrs. Olmsled, 25 ibs (. piano, sos cloged her je- i witn s prilllsng perfotnisnce of the fivst movemen: of Liszis ‘& Flst lisjor Ceneerto.” ‘I'he second reciial of ile cveilig was given by Miss Michaelson, who made a special trip from New York for the occasion. Her progrem con- sisted of a “French Suite,” by Bach; “Sonato C Minor, Opus IIL” Beethoven; “Nocturne, Opus 27, Nc. 1 by Chopin, and “Variations Symphonique,” by Cesar Franck. In the latter, Miss. Michaelson was splendidly supporied by her former teacher, Miss Pearl Waugh, on the second piano. This varied group was interpreied by Miss Michaelson with the varlety of style demanded by the music. 1n the delicate melodic secticns of the above-mentioned compositions & iittle mere volume of tone colcr would have bee1 desirable to avoid monotony in the faint, gossamer- like pianissimos. Otherwise the artist played with all the requisite brilliance, lightness, judiclous shad- ing, coupled with ample endowment of temperament, which she fully demonstrated in her rendition of the Beethcven sonata, the Chopin scherzo and the variations sym- phonic. She is destined for a bright musical career. Following the concert the 10 ycung pianisis and the two emer- gency substitutes essembled on the platform, each cf the participants Teceiving an honor badge presented by the director of the club, Mrs. Martin A. Morrison. And in eon- clusion Katherine Beck expresced her thenks in behalf of the other members cf the club to Mrs. Morri- son for her untiring efforts and de- votion to such a worthy musical cause. B X. of Musie Gives Music Week Program. THE contribution of the Wash- ington College of Mus‘c to Music week activities took the form of an ensemble program presented re- cently at the school. Catherine Benson played the “G Minor Concerto” of Felix Mendels- sohn with - effective results. Her handling of the adagio movement perticularly was colored with warmth of tone of rare satisfaction. She followed this achievement with another—that of supplying ex- uisite accompaniments f5r 1wo uets sung by Alice Huber. soprano, snd Aurelia Beck, contralto. The passage, “Bird’s Farewell,” by Hil- dach, and a setting of Gena Brans- combe’s of the Beethoven famous “Minuet in G” were the numbers in which these accomplished voung singers blended their well trained ln: delightful voices. gifted young ariist, Evereit | Stevens, was heard in an_un- familiar ~composition by Percy ger, the children’s “Over the Hills and Far Awi . of the Room Music Tit-bits, arranged for two pianos, Mr. Stevens carried his part through with verve and adroit participation in’ the gay and exhilarating swing of the music. obbligato’s played Amiss, The Schul first and next the exotic “But Lately in Dance,” by Arensky, and finally a most worthy adaptation of Barnby’s “Sweet and Low,” the obbli- gato of which was written by Anton Kiehl. Mrs, Gray's voice is one of liquid beauty and her singing style grows more convincing with each hearing. Probably the highest attainment of the evening’s ensemble efforts were reached in the perfromance of the Beethoven “Trio Op. 11,” for violin- cello, violin and piano, involving the services of Mrs. Amiss, Mrs. Roberts and Mr. Amanuel. The qualities of this group’s interpretation of the nuances and subtle intes ges of theme betray the discriminating supervision of Emanuel Zetlin. ‘The Liszt “Hun; Pani tasy’ closed. the prcgram, the solo peri plaved by Jens Kesh, who hed o ‘played. effectiva ' aceomvan!- for” Mre, Gray's group of The pisa'ziic sKill dlmiared yourg musician nromises sa interesiung future for her, Sue @i~ gmm and & considersble Gasi f liance which made zn inter- esting performance. F.A. Papils’ Recital Given by King-Smith School. A SONG-DANCE reciial given by 4 Margeret Hanby, soprano, and Jean Arendes, dancer, last evening wes as interesting an expression of studio craftsmanship as Washington has seen in some time. The en- tive program was designed and ar- ranged by these students of the King-Smith Studio School. The ef- fect, charmingly done, Was s> com- pletely in the new manner ihat one 121t that the art soul of the moment was definitely in the hearts of these young people. The dancer left one with graphic impressions of the types portrayed. There was an “Ode of Pinder” in three moods, between each of which Miss Arendes recaptured her tableau pose against a Greek vase—all cf the symbolic settings being the work of Robert Byrne. The Prokofieff’ “Suggestion Diabolique,” with sterk silhouetted steps for setting, with 2 hideous mask that gave force to the dance impression, was gripping- ly done, the accent of the dancer 1> the force of the music being one of Miss Arendes’ vital assets. The work was in the modern German mode, definitely programmed to fit a “mechanical” dance, .the steam’ engine, sgain with mask—the masks all the work of the students. A tropical ‘“Pareo,” with mask that almost spoke, against a lurid . setting of warm color, again showed the freedom cf drama of the body and truth to mood. To much of the dancing the humming voice was added. ‘Miss Hanhy's songs were Teally costume recifal, old French, Span- ish and modern songs, with just enough gesture to give life to the music. The singing was gratifying- lv musical and kepv within the compass of2. young voice. The little French ‘‘Bergerettes” held esprit end a voice to float them; the Spanich songs in their native lan- guage were seductive and ‘subtle. “Song” in English, composition of Mr. King-Smith, was vocally good and & fine Jittle thing. To & pic- turesoue Dvorak “Gypsy Melody” the two young artists: combined their work. Peneiope Tarwater, another stu- dent, was accompanist throughout, giving_excellent meening 1o all of these little dramas, that ioday may be inierpreled by music, by move- ment or with appeal to the eye.
