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.
