J omen s oecnon SOCIETY CLUBS MUSIC Nezv Instrumental Ensemble Makes Debut In Medford w Gladys Adimioa A new Instrumental eneemble made lti debut in Medford Monday evening when tne Meaiora musical society prtrenira a ouartet of professional musicians in a delightful program of cham ber music. From the first note to the last, all eyes were fascinated u.. ik. .n...lnn noilltv anH adaDtness of the artists, and all ears were charmed by the beauty of sound which resulted from their combined artistry, The nerforming musicians were Miss MeiDa unenaK, vium and violin. Horlalee Wilson, vio lin. Bernard Windt. cello, and Almus Pruitt, piano. Their high degree of training in their chos en instrument, together with countlejs hours of ensemble play ing, resulted in a perfection of performance too rarely heara anywhere; and Rogue River val i.u i. mnt fortunate to have such an ensemble, not only to present the greatest in chamber music lor us own inusit i"",,, u,. ain in rarrv from our val ley to other communities, proof of our cultural aeveiopmem im Interest. There can be no doubt that an ensemble of such caliber will very soon be in demand "over the mountains" in many directions. Preceding the program a com mentary on chamber music was given by Mr. Windt, whose wide knowledge, together with an In fectious enthusiasm for ensemble playing and humorous sidelights on the subject, made his remarks highly entertaining. The group presented one move ment each from three piano quar tets, the first being the third movement of the Chaunon "Quartet in A Major". This number glowed with rich but subdued coloring, In the con ventional style of tis Belgian composer. The third movement of Beethoven's "E Flat Major Quartet" proved highly satisfy ing, with, its full broad harmon ies and antiphnnal treatment of thematic material. In great contrast to these two numbers was the second move ment of a quartet by the French man, Gabriel Faure. This com position, in C minor, was al most ethereal In its delicacy of tone and exquisite tracery of pattern. One after another the instruments began a figure, only to be imitated by another voice so intriguing that one could not resist it, An amazing crescendo was followed by a lovely muted section which led again Into such a sweeping volume of tone that one could hardly believe It pos sible from only four instruments. In contrast to the quartets. Mr. Windt and Mr. Pruitt played the second movement of Grieg's "A Minor Sonata for Cello and Piano." The beautiful melodic lint and sentimental tenderness of Grieg's style was expertly portrayed by the two artists in this number. I The greatest novelty of the evening was the performance of "Passacaglia for violin and vi ola, the theme of Handel and ar ranged by Halvorsen. This nunv ber. which has no piano acconv panlment, was played by Miss Chehalt and Mr. Wilson ana was so amazingly Intricate in con struction and technique, and so brilliantly played by the artists that the audience was literany swept into wild applause at its close. Although undoubtedly new to the hearers, their pro longed applause bespoke its splendid rendition. Upon insistent demand, the en semble concluded the evening with an encore "Bagatelle" by Dvorak. This number was scored for piano, two violins and cello. Miss C h e h a k exchanging her viola for a violin. During the reception which followed the program, the art ists were besieged with ques tions as to the date for their first public concert. It is to be hoped that everyone in our val ley may have an opportunity to hear this exceptional ensemble In the near future, for It Is of such excellence that many con cert managers would gladly book It on tour. Miss Mabel Nansen presided at the brief business session early in the evening and hostesses for the reception were Mrs. Mamie Sleeter, Mrs. Fred Stang, Mrs. Gertrude Warnock and Mrs. Mabel Sims.
