1RALPH LEOPOLD
2Pianist
4Mr. Leopold writes of the Baldwin:
5"It gives me the greatest pleasure to be able to express my unqualified endorsement of the Baldwin piano. The clarity and richness of its tone, the wide range of its dynamic possibilities, the splendid action and its responsiveness to the various moods called forth in the interpretation of the great composers, make it a joy to use in daily practice, as well as in concert work.
6"In addition to the general excellence of the piano, the unfailing courtesy of the company renders doubly agreeable the use of this instrument."

15DAMMBMANN PUPILS GIVE RECITAL
16Emma A. Dammann, now established some thirty years as vocalist and teacher, gives an annual pupils' recital which is always interesting. That of April 22 was no exception; Steinway Salon was crowded, and some excellent singing, both of solos and ensembles, was heard. Louise and Dolores Gatto, sisters, sang duets with real professional style; they also united with Elsie Pente in a trio, the fresh young voices harmonizing well. Dolores Gatto's voice has developed finely, her production and diction being notably excellent; her sister Louise has made big strides, singing with intelligence and art. Elsie Pente has an expressive voice, and Frances Haggerty sings well with much promise of the future. Theodora Wachter made a first appearance, receiving well-deserved applause, and Florence Keefe has a dramatic organ, of first rate quality. Rachel Ringhorn Jensen, coloratura, is a professional of ability, with fine voice and diction; she was also heard in her own recital, April 26. Omar Legant sang solos cleverly, and Emma Wangeman pleased in a duet with Miss Pente. Vera Deal Phelps is an intelligent singer with a voice of good range, and Lucille Blabe played piano solos and accompaniments. Jean Rouse, pianist, and Camilla Gatto, mandolinist, also played accompaniments. The Gatto sisters will be heard in their annual song recital at Mount Kisco, May 18, and on June 8 Mme. Dammann leaves for a three months' trip to Paris.
18N. Y. SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND ARTS
19The April 14 fortnightly concert at the New York School of Music and Arts, Ralf Leech Sterner, director, was distinguished by a fine variety of music consisting of piano, organ, violin and vocal solos, as well as duets, well performed by the following students: Misses Brady, Pinkham, De Cew (vocal and piano solos), Hitch, the sisters Flora and Juliet Gross, Taylor, Muldoon, Hill, Noonan, Caciopoli, the sisters Davies, and Messrs. Littman, Ross and Bevis. Katherine Taylor and Katherine Muldoon sang for the first time, and made a good impression. Alice Davis played accompaniments.
21ANTHONY PESCA SINGS
22Anthony Pescia, young American tenor, sang solos at the James Madison High School auditorium, Brooklyn, March 28, when an audience of several thousand people applauded him for his fine renditions. He sings over radio stations WRNY and WBBR; with Senator Love and others he was recently entertained by the Pleiades Club of New York with a supper and concert. The young tenor is coming to the fore.
24EDITH JENSEN PLAYS IN BROOKLYN
25Edith Jensen, violinist, who studies with Dethier at the Institute of Musical Art, was specially engaged for Easter Sunday service at Lewis Avenue Congregational Church, Brooklyn, Lillian Dechman, organist and director. She played Raff's Cavatina, also in a trio by Meitzke, and played an obligato as well; she was complimented by those present on her enjoyable performance. She is from Detroit.
27Services at St. Francis Xavier Church
28The musical program for the services at St. Francis Xavier Church during Easter week were under the direction of Pietro Yon, organist and choirmaster. On Palm Sunday, solemn High Mass was held at which, other than the Gregorian music, selections by Yon and Witt were sung with the Mass for four men's voices by Deschermeier. Vespers in the evening included musical numbers by Witt, Yon and Hamma. At the Wednesday Tenebrae there were two numbers by Mr. Yon—in Monte Oliveti, and Tristis est Anima Mea—with additional Gregorian numbers. At Holy Thursday's Mass the Kyrie and Gloria were from Perosi's Mass Benedictamus. The Pange Lingua, which accompanies the procession during the ceremony was written by Mr. Yon. Omnes Amici et Vehum Templi were two Yon compositions on the program for the Thursday Tenebrae. The Good Friday Mass of the Presanctified had three musical selections—Pople Meus of Palestrina Vittori, Pange lingua of Yon, and a Gregorian Vexilla Regis. In the afternoon the Three Hours' Agony was commemorated, during which numbers by the choir and congregation were sung; in the evening, Tenebrae was again observed. At the Holy Saturday Mass, the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus were by Perosi.
30Easter Sunday there were two Masses—at ten and eleven. At the first the singing was done by the St. Cecilia Choir, featuring Regina Coeli, The Story of the Resurrection and Christ the Lord is Risen. The High Mass opened with the Allegro of the First Sonata by Guilmant, followed by a Traditional Processional, Ravanello Offertory and Missa Te Deum, Haec Dies, Victimae Paschali and Christ Triumphant, all by Yon. The evening Vespers closed the week's elaborate celebrations at which Tema and Variazioni, Angelelli; Yon's Regina Coeli, Jerusalem Surge and Christ Triumphant; Klein's Adorato te and Dubois' Tantum Ergo formed the program. The soloists during the week were S. Bogato, W. F. Sheehan, John O'Donnell, L. A. Redmond, O. Langevin, J. Taggert and T. J. Taaffe. The choir boys were from the Parochial School.
32Laberge Sails for Europe
33Bernard R. Laberge, of the Bogue-Laberge Concert Management, sailed for Europe on April 20. He had just recently returned from a long business trip, which took him all through the South, the Pacific West, Middle West and Canada. In Europe he will visit the Pro Arte Quartet, which made such a marked success this season on its first American tour and will return for a second tour in January. He will call upon the great organists Marcel Dupré and Marcel Lanquetuit, who return to New York next season under the joint management of Bogue-Laberge and Wanamaker Auditorium; also E. Robert Schmitz, who is again in Paris after his concert tour in Holland and Italy and with whom Mr. Laberge will arrange the details of his forthcoming tour. Several of the other artists presented by the Bogue-Laberge Bureau will be abroad soon, among them Lisa Roma, American soprano, who will give recitals in London and Paris within the next two months.
