Marjorie Davis. . e As has been the case at all concerts : - > e — by this outstanding organization, the S b program contained many unusual numbers varied by old favorites. The erisp diction, clean tonal attacks and | fine phrasing of the singers were a pleasure to hear and provided a frame in which the inner meaning of the text was finely worked out. The vocal quality of the group as a whole is mellow and true, while now and then an individual voice of outstanding timber showed the caliber of which | the group is composed. The singers | are alert, in the matter of phrasing | i and whole-heartedly concentrated on | Y i maintaining the spirit of each com- Pl Y i i position.

In a darkened auditorium with lights only upon the stage, the audi- ence was invited by Mr. Simon to | sense the radiance of the Spring through music as presented by a mixed chorus of some 35 voices in & pro- gram divided into two parts by violin soli, the first of which was dedicated to the Spring, the second to the musi- ! cal settings of the texts from Shake- | speare. | Two numbers by Dvorak, “Around Us Hear the Sounds of Even” and | “Blossom Born of Teeming,” estab- lished the group as an enjoyable conrtibution to community life. Ac- 5 y S curate and flexible, it did not forgo D any of the little finishing touches or o / accents to make its works more color- o % , ful.
