3Critics Praise Evelyn Tyson
4Evelyn Tyson is a talented young pianist who has won numerous contests including the Stokowski medal, the Pennsylvania State Prize and Liberty District Prize of the National Federation of Music Clubs and also the Philadelphia Music Club Gold Medal. She has appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has been praised highly by the critics following engagements in concert and recital. Anna H. Regan stated in the Doyleston Intelligencer: "Her technical perfection is such that it no longer appears as technic. It gives her playing smoothness, clearness and brilliancy. Miss Tyson has cultivated a state of repose that enables her to concentrate her mind and soul into her interpretation. Whether it is a big classic or a sparkling salon piece, she holds her audience enthralled. Miss Tyson's ability is such as to plant her among the foremost exponents of the pianist's art." According to the Clearfield Progress both as pianist and accompanist, Miss Tyson is the finished artist, showing a great beauty of tone and perfect technic. Following an appearance with orchestra in Atlantic City, N. J., the Atlantic City Gazette Review stated: "Miss Tyson played Weber's concerto and this very difficult piece was rendered in a very artistic manner. It displayed the very fine technic of Miss Tyson, as unusually hard passages of octaves and runs featured this composition."
6Chamber Music Society of San Francisco
7The Chamber Music Society of San Francisco, consisting of Louis Persinger and Louis Ford, violin; Nathan Firestone, viola, Walter Ferner, cello; and Elias Hecht, flute, played to a large audience on January 23, at the Washington Irving High School. This capable organization appeared in a variety of combinations, and showed to advantage in each. The opening number was the Mozart quartet in D major for flute and strings, which was played with rare delicacy and charm.
9The string quartet appeared in two numbers, the somewhat neglected quartet in C major by Taneieff and the Ravel Quartet in F major. The Taneieff work is a lengthy and somewhat heavy composition calling for a full measure of technic and color to show to advantage. The Ravel opus, quite different in texture, was rendered with equal skill, and perhaps more sympathetically. Both numbers seemed to appeal greatly to the audience.
11The outstanding part of the performance, however, was a group of three sketches for flute and strings. One of these numbers, Bagatelle, by Suk, a graceful bit of melodic invention, was greeted so tumultuously as to bring forth its repetition before the program could be continued. The other numbers were Brescia's Medallions, with the opening measures for flute and muted strings especially lovely, and Gouvy's Intermezzo.
13The Chamber Music Society of San Francisco clearly shows the effect of long association. Each of its members is more than adequate, technically, and collectively they present a brilliant combination, well balanced, analytical, and highly imaginative. They should go far in making the "open season" on chamber music more than usually interesting and enjoyable.
15New York College of Music Programs
16The West Side Y. M. C. A. held a good sized audience, January 14, when the New York College of Music presented a concert for a church society. Elfrieda Andrea sang a Handel aria and Evelyn Schiff contributed the Caro Nome, followed by encores; Sam Kramar played the Mendelssohn violin concerto so well that he was called out three times; Florence Gwynne offered Grainger and Chopin piano pieces with brilliant effect, and Ignatius Palazy sang a bass aria (Don Carlos), both being rewarded by recalls, with encore numbers following. The Rigoletto quartet was sung as the closing number by Elizabeth Neusch, Evelyn Schiff, Carl Jenke and Ignatius Palazy.
18The same institution gave a Junior Class Concert at Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, January 15, when eight pianists, four violinists, two sopranos and a cellist took part. Of these those who deserve special mention are Louise Kandera and Joseph Circus, violinists; Helen Cohen, Helen Knopf and Lorraine Newman, pianists; and Phobe Hanson, Max Stern and William Sesslerberg, who performed a trio for piano, violin and cello (Haydn).
20La Forge-Berumen Studio Notes
21Gil Valeriano, tenor, will give his first recital at Town Hall on February 1, accompanied by his teacher, Frank La Forge. Loretta Degnan, also a La Forge pupil, will give a recital at Aeolian Hall on February 19.
23Marie Houston, soprano, gave a recital at the Wanamaker Auditorium, January 12, assisted at the piano by Myrtle Alcorn. Miss Houston was heard in four groups of Italian and English numbers. She was in fine voice and her interpretations were artistic. Among her numbers was Hills by Frank La Forge. Miss Alcorn gave excellent support at the piano. Both Miss Houston and Miss Alcorn are pupils of the La Forge-Berumen Studios.
25Gladys Olsson, pupil of the La Forge-Berumen Studios, skillfully assisted Winifred Marshall at a concert given at the Memorial Presbyterian Church on January 14.
