Gore Seldom has it been the privi lege of Medford music lovers to enjoy finer concert entertain ment than that afforded by the National Operatic Quartet yes terday afternoon as the third number on the Jackson County Civic Music Association series.' The threatening skies seemed to Increase the attendance rather than diminish it and the high school auditorium was filled by a capacity audience. ' The program with Its copious notes was interesting to con template and promised much in the way of variety of vocal com bination as well as in a discrim inating selection of many of the most beautiful, familiar and uni versally loved duets and quar tettes in music reperatory. The talented young artists measured up to their opportunity and each number was enthusiastically received. Of the four members of the quartet, Polyna Stoska, soprano, Winifred Heidt, contralto, and Jess Walters, baritone, are all American-born, while Gilbert Russell Is a young Englishman who has lived in America for CLARENCE E. EADS eight years.' With youth, Intelli gence, culture and exceptional musical endowment, these sin gers are contributing generously to the musical up-building of America. They impress listeners as a group which enjoys music and so, naturally, make others enjoy it. Since opera Is not only great music, but also an assemblying of all the arts it is distinctly and pleasantly surprising to note that without support of orches tlve scenery, or costuming this group brings much of the spirit of opera to an audience. The blending of tone quality, balance of four parts and the charming style in phrasing and delivery are all gracefully achieved by the magic planism and musl?lanship of Leo Taub man, the Inspirational director. The encores were: Duet: "Wanting? You," from "The New Moon"; Duet: "Will You Re member," fronv "Sweetheart," by Romberg; Quartette from "Rlgoletto," by Verdi. The members of the associa tion seemed to like the Innvo cation of an afternoon concert. Ania Dorfmann pianist, presents the next concert, March 13th.
