16Boris Levenson again has been selected as judge, this time by Horvath's Bulletin, the award being a free debut recital in Town Hall, New York; with him are associated Jascha Fischberg and Victor Kuzdó.
18Josef Lhevinne will introduce the new Moor-Pleyel piano to the public when he plays it in concert here in January. This "piano of the future" was invented by Emanuel Moor of Switzerland and developed by Pleyel of Paris. It is somewhat larger than a concert grand, has a double banked keyboard, and will make possible composition of piano music beyond the most difficult yet written.
20Lea Luboshutz, Russian violinist, has been engaged as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for December 14 and 15; with the Chicago Symphony in January, and for the third consecutive season with the Cincinnati Symphony in March. In late January Mme. Luboshutz plans to leave for the Coast for her first tour of the far West, which will include an appearance as soloist with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Alfred Hertz conductor.
22Barbara Lull, violinist, who won such praise and admiration at her Town Hall recital on November 5, was chosen by the Pro Musica Society to play the Krenek sonata for violin and piano at their recent concert, at which time she duplicated her previous success.

24Lotta Madden, favorite Goldman Band soprano soloist, conducted Maunder's Song of Thanksgiving, presented by the Central Choral Club at the Central Church, New York, November 21. This was a very worthy, dignified affair, reflecting credit on all concerned, for Miss Madden has a chorus of ability and directs with clearness and distinction. Of the four soloists, Marie De Kyzer, soprano, won especial praise for her singing of O Lovely Flowers. One of the Madden pupils has just secured an excellent church position, the result of pertinacity and work.
26Colin McPhee, the Canadian composer, is active in New York composing and giving instruction in piano, composition and orchestration. Prior to coming to the United States Mr. McPhee was abroad, and while in Paris had some of his works performed and also appeared there in recital. He has written a concerto in three movements—allegretto, choral and coda—for piano and eight wind instruments which will be presented this winter by the Barrere Little Symphony Orchestra. New Yorkers had an opportunity to hear some of Mr. McPhee's music a few seasons ago when it was performed by the Composers' Guild. He states that he now is writing a work for chorus and orchestra.
28Luella Melius, although already announced for a southern concert tour in the early spring, is receiving additional engagements constantly.

30Benno Moiseiwitsch, Russian pianist, will begin his forthcoming tour at Vancouver on January 11, and will play in Victoria on January 12, and in San Francisco January 16. After that he will appear in Berkeley, Oakland and Los Angeles, returning East early in February for recitals in Grand Rapids, Providence, Minneapolis, Aurora and other cities.
32Lyda Neebson recently sang at a concert at Harrisburg, Pa., with Cornelius Van Vliet, when she received excellent criticisms. She appeared at Greenville, Pa., on December 6, Wheeling, W. Va., on the 11th, and in New York City on the 12th as soloist with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's Chorus.
34N. Lindsay Norden, organist and musical director of the First Presbyterian Church, Germantown, Pa., gives much time and thought to the arrangement and presentation of the programs of music presented at his church. For one of the recent Sunday evening services he planned a Schubert program in celebration of the centenary of the death of that composer. In addition to the vocal selections there were numbers for violin, harp and organ, which were thoroughly appreciated by the congregation.
36"Fred Patton won high honors for his benign and beautifully sung Hans Sachs," wrote Linton Martin in the Philadelphia Inquirer of November 23, after the baritone had sung this role with the Philadelphia Civic Opera Company. The Bulletin said: "Patton's voice was fully equal to the role of Hans Sachs, and he acted the part with dignity; he displayed an authentic feeling for the nuances of Wahn, Wahn, and a rich and resonant voice of ample power." The Record and Evening Public Ledger were equally enthusiastic.
