3Henri Deering to Return Next Season
4Henri Deering, American pianist, who has been concertizing in Europe for the last couple of years with much success, and who returned to America early this season for a limited number of concerts will sail for Europe in May. However, he will come to this country next fall when he is scheduled to give two New York recitals at Town Hall on November 17 and December 12. After January 1 his dates will keep him on the Pacific Coast for three months. These engagements come as a result of his success there this season, both in recital and as guest artist with the San Francisco Chamber Music Society. Of his playing with that organization, Redfern Mason in the Examiner said: "In the Brahms, the soloist was Henri Deering, a sensitive interpreter of this beautiful music. Deering does not soloize inopportunely, but gives the piano its just place in the instrumental ensemble. He is a sound musician, with a true sense of tonal values; he combines poetic vision with masculine reserve."
5And the Christian Science Monitor stated: "He is a musician whose temperament inclines him to consider the piano a chamber instrument. Within a wide dynamic range he includes only clear, beautiful, and expressive tone. His understanding and presentation of Debussy's music are not often excelled in any concert hall." Mollie Merrick in the Bulletin was also complimentary: "To Henri Deering, soloist of the evening, went the highlight of enjoyment. He electrified the local organization into a somewhat different interpretation of the Brahms Quintet in F minor, playing with a freedom and verve that is characteristically his. He gives us music that is vigorous without becoming boisterous, that is masculine without losing any of the subtle nuances. He reveals more depth, more tonal appreciation, gratifying proof that he is enlarging the scope of his art."
6Arthur S. Garbett in the San Francisco Daily News was of the opinion that "Henri Deering played the piano part with passion and power, sustaining his own part in glorious antiphony with the strings. The quintet rose to an overpowering climax, bringing a unique and exhilarating program to a magnificent conclusion."
8Zetlin and Sheridan in Recital May 8
9With a view to remedying the lack of spring concerts in New York, Alan Rathbun is planning as a first offering a joint recital by Emanuel Zetlin, Violinist, and Frank Sheridan, pianist, to be given in Town Hall on Sunday afternoon, May 8. The program will consist entirely of sonatas, the Brahms in D minor, Mozart in B flat major, and Respighi in B minor. Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Zetlin have each given two successful recitals in New York this season, Mr. Zetlin appearing also in company with Carl Flesch, Louis Bailly and Felix Salmond as a member of the Curtis Quartet. Both artists have been highly praised as soloists by New York critics, and it undoubtedly will be of interest to music lovers to hear them together in a sonata recital.
11These artists, whose ability has been proved by repeated engagements and enthusiastic appreciation, are for the season of 1927 and 1928 under the exclusive Concert Management of

57SAN ANTONIO, TEX.
58SAN ANTONIO, TEX.—Amelita Galli-Curci was presented in recital as the sixth attraction in the Mildred Gates series. The appearance of the artist on the stage was the signal for prolonged applause. This is her third appearance in this city, and on this occasion she deepened, if possible, the splendid impression already made. During the rendition of the program she was forced to give twelve recalls and eight encores. Her exquisite mezza-voce, rich, low tones, matchless technic, and the beautiful velvety quality throughout her entire range, hardly requires comment. Numbers on the program were by Donaudy, Bizet, Benedict, Hahn, Rabey, Rossini, and Buzzi-Peccia. The closing number was an exquisite rendition of the Shadow Song from Dinorah (Meyerbeer) with the beautiful flute obligato by Manuel Berenguer. Homer Samuels contributed his usual fine accompaniments and an interesting group of piano numbers by Debussy and Carpenter.
59Mrs. Guy Simpson, contralto, with Walter Dunham at the piano, contributed the musical part of the program at a luncheon given in honor of Charles Curran, Henry B. Snell, and Edouard Leon, judges in the Texas wildflower painting competition recently held.
60Betty Longaker Wilson, soprano, with Mrs. James J. Loving at the piano, contributed a group of songs, at a recent meeting of the Alamo Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
61Songs and Cowboy Ballads by Oscar J. Fox, interpreted by Mrs. Roy Lowe, mezzo-contralto, and William Irby, tenor, with the composer at the piano, was the program given by the San Antonio Musical Club. Mrs. Lewis Krans Beck, president, at the February meeting. Mrs. Lowe's resonant, rich quality of voice was splendidly adapted to the songs she gave. Mr. Fox gave a short explanatory talk about cowboys and the songs, making doubly interesting the following numbers so capably sung by Mr. Irby: Come All Ye Jolly Cowboys; Whoopie Ti Yi Yo; Get Along Little Dogies; The Texas Cowboy's Last Song; A Home on the Range; Cowboy's Lament; The Old Chisholm Trail; and Rounded Up in Glory. The Cowboy's Christmas Ball was read by Julia Fox, daughter of the composer. S. W. one of two readings

This will be Mr. Levenson's first appearance in America as conductor of his own works.
