(Contributed)
In a setting of unusual beauty
and color, on the outdoor red
tiled stage of the lovely Pur
ucker Gardens, Roberta Ward
Bebb presented a group of her
piano and voice students in a
program of international char
acter, a ''Musical Travelogue,"
in costume, on Thursday eve
ning.
Setting a high standard of
culture and background and dis
playing initiative, the program
was received with more than
ordinary enthusiasm by the ca
pacity audience.
The travelogue, written and
read by Mrs. Bebb, covered the
characteristics and history of
the music of the countries rep
resented. Opening the program, the
diminutive fairy from the "land
of Illusion" waved her magic
wand as If to usher in peace
and love to all nations.
The composition! played by
the students revealed an amaz
ingly fine balance between the
spirit and the letter of the se
lections. Other notable features
were the adroit technique,
aplomb in style and tonal col
oration. The young vocalists sang
with a technical certainty an 1
clarity of diction that carried
to the most distant listener.
The colorful costumes, accent
ed by the multi-colored lights,
added an exotic note to the vis
ual, as well as the musical as
pects of the program.
