1Music Notes From Coast to Coast
2(Continued from page 52)
3Hahn, violin; Mrs. Adolf Hahn, voice, and Frederick J. Hoffmann, piano. Students participating were Margaret Adams, Patricia Conway, Edel Linde and Marjorie Smith.
5Cleveland, Ohio. A different sort of entertainment was offered by Ellenor Cook, singer and dancer, and Eugenia Folliard, pianist, at the Museum of Art. Folk songs and dances of Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Hungary and Roumania were presented, just as the young women had seen them done in their native haunts. Miss Cook also played with Miss Folliard a duet arrangement of Dvorak's Slavic Dance.
7The Schumann concerto in A minor was chosen by Ossip Gabrilowitsch for his vehicle in his appearance with the Cleveland Orchestra at Masonic Hall. Mr. Sokoloff led the orchestra through D'Indy's Symphony No. 2 and Brahms' Tragic Overture.
9The Cleveland String Quartet played at the Wade Park Manor a program that included Beethoven's quartet in C major, Sonata for flute, viola and harp, by Debussy (Weyert A. Moor, flutist and Edward Vito, harpist assisted), and Arnold Bax's quintet for oboe and strings, in which they were assisted by Philip Kirchner, oboist.
11At the Wednesday morning concert in the Comparative Arts Course, at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Beryl Rubinstein, pianist, played an all-Brahms program, including the F minor sonata, a capriccio and an intermezzo.
13Suzanne Dregier, Cleveland pianist, was heard in recital in the Parish House of Emmanuel Church.
15Detroit, Mich. The Michigan Chapter, American Guild of Organists, Francis L. York, dean, recently had a successful supper, followed by an address by Rabbi Leon Fram and a musical program presented by Abram Ray Tyler, with his choir, in traditional Hebrew melodies. Fifty-two people attended, twenty-six being members, twenty-two visitors, and four officers.
17Los Angeles, Cal. An all-Tschaikowsky program, of the composer's less known compositions, brought a sold-out house to the Sunday "Pop" concert by the Philharmonic Orchestra. The program opened with the gloomy overture-fantasie, Hamlet, skillfully handled by Conductor Schneevogt, and Ruines d'un Chateau, orchestrated from one of the composer's early piano compositions. The Valse du Ballet, from the Sleeping Beauty, with its charming rhythm, was repeated on demand. Francesca da Rimini was more pretentious in construction and dramatic in conception. The Marche Miniature, taken from Suite no. 1, was an attractive little novelty, and it and the Waltz from the String Serenade which followed were both demanded again. The Overture 1812 closed the program.
19The golden voiced John McCormack gave the first of three Los Angeles concerts at the Philharmonic Auditorium, on the L. E. Behymer Thursday night Artists' course, before a sold out house. The enthusiasm of the audience was enormous and the applause deafening. He was assisted by Laurie Kennedy, cellist, and Edwin Schneider, accompanist.
21George Klass, violinist, formerly concertmaster of the Munich Concertverein Orchestra and of the St. Paul Orchestra, was presented in a concert at the Biltmore Music Room, by L. E. Behymer; Claire Mellonino was at the piano. He impressed with his virtuosity and his wonderful tone coloring.
23Sigrid Onegin, contralto, appeared as the eighth event on the L. E. Behymer Thursday night course, at the Philharmonic Auditorium. She charmed both eye and ear. Her voice, a wonderful contralto, and her strong dramatic sense, put her among the finest singers heard here.
25The Persinger String Quartet made its final appearance in a concert at the Beaux Arts. They gave a first hearing of a quartet by Langstroth, in manuscript, Goossen's Jack O'lantern, Glazounoff's Little Valse, Dvorak's Lento and the Beethoven quartet in E flat major. The disbanding of this group of artists is a loss to the musical life of Los Angeles.
27The Classic Ensemble, consisting of Violet Cossack, pianist; Samuel Albert, violinist, and Lybeth LeFevre, cellist, made its bow to Los Angeles, in the Beaux Arts Auditorium.
29Guy Bevier Williams, Detroit pianist, was presented in concert at the Biltmore Music Room by Mae Norton O'Farrell before a large audience. His program ranged from Bach to MacDowell. He proved a skillful pianist and was warmly received.
31Louisville, Ky. The King's Henchman, was given at the Brown Theater on three nights.
33The one symphony orchestra concert of the season was that of the Minneapolis Orchestra under the magic leadership of Henri Verbrugghen, at the Brown Theater. It was indeed a great occasion, and was largely attended.
35The Pro Arte Quartet treated Louisville to an excellent program at the Woman's Club Auditorium.
37Luella Melius, who appeared at the Columbia Auditorium under the auspices of the Thomas D. Clines Concert Bureau, thrilled Louisville music lovers with her beautiful coloratura voice.
39The Louisville Music Teachers' Association, at the Speed Music Room, entertained with an interesting program; Mrs. Everett Milestead was leader. The program offering a group of tenor solos by Everett Milestead, and a group of baritone solos by George Sutterlin, was effectively rendered.
41The Music Study Club met at the residence of Mrs. Arthur Bensinger.
43The Louisville Symphony Orchestra, Pavlo Grosso, conductor, gave its first concert in the ball room of the Kentucky Hotel. A really unusual program was presented.
45The fourth Morning Recital of the Wednesday Morning Musical Club was given at the Woman's Club Auditorium with the following participants: Melva Hussak, contralto; Ellen Lawrence Gordon, pianist; and a trio composed of Evelyn Finn Schacter, pianist; Charles J. Letzler, violinist, and Carl Schmidt, cellist.
47The Educational Concert Series, an unusual and worthy undertaking for the purpose of cultivating individual musical appreciation and upbuilding a larger community group interested in the various forms of musical expression, is sponsored by the Young Men's Hebrew Association of which Morris Simon is chairman of the musical committee. Three concerts have already been successfully given.
49Mme. Clara Sopin, Louisville's artist contralto, was the soloist of the Music Study Club program, at the home of Mrs. Arthur Bensinger.
51A joint recital of Florence Otis, soprano, and Samuel Timer, pianist, was given in the ball room of the Brown Hotel, under the auspices of the Girls' High School Alumnae Club.
53Esther Metz, soprano, sang Josephine McGill's Less than the Cloud, and Mrs. Newton Crawford's Pierrot, over the radio.
55The Louisville Music Teachers' Association presented Carl Shackleton, organist, and Walter Shackleton, baritone, as soloists at the Speed Music Room.
57Mt. Carmel, Pa. Mischa Mischakoff, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, was enthusiastically received by a capacity audience at the First Methodist Episcopal Church. He completely captivated his listeners with his beauty of tone, personality, musicianship and choice of program material. His playing of the Handel sonata in D major and the Mendelssohn concerto in E minor stamped him as an artist of the highest rank. The third part of his program was made up of shorter works by Logan-Kreisler, Poldini-Kreisler, Debussy-Hartman and Sarasate, and served to strengthen the first opinion. Mr. Mischakoff was recalled many times and numerous encores were demanded. These were graciously and brilliantly given. Theodore Seidenberg was at the piano.
59San Antonio, Tex. The Chicago Civic Opera Company presented three memorable performances, before audiences which filled to overflowing the city's enormous auditorium. The first opera presented was La Gioconda, with Raisa, Lenska, Baromeo, Van Gordon, Marshall, and Rimini in the leading roles, and Moranzoni, conducting; the second opera, was La Tosca, with Garden, Mason, and Formichi, in the leading roles, and Polacco, conducting, and the third opera was Il Trovatore, with Rappold, d'Hermonay, Bonelli, Cortis, Lenska, and Baromeo, in the leading roles, and Weber conducting.
61Harry Farbman, violinist, was presented by the Tuesday Musical Club, Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, president, as the third artist in the series of Musical Teas given by the club, of which Mrs. Walter Walhall is chairman and Mrs. Leonard Brown vice-chairman. Mr. Farbman opened his program with Handel's beautiful Sonata in E major, played with delicate grace and charm, followed by the colorful
