Baritone to Sing Here on Friday Stephen Kemalyan, baritone of Armenian descent, who will appear here Friday, April 15, is described in advance press no tices as a "phenomenally versa tile artist, who has made his mark as a recitalist, symphony soloist, opera star, film artist, oratorio singer and radio and television personality." He is appearing here as the last artist for the season spon sored by the Civic Music asso ciation. The concert will be at 8 p.m., at the Medford senior high school auditorium. . Critics in San Francisco, Hollywood and Los Angeles newspaper columns have . de scribed his voice as "sonorous" and "resonant." Alexander Fried of the San Francisco Examiner, wrote, "a firm virile voice, while he carried his tone superbly, even thrillingly, into top baritone range, the voice also had true basso darkness and depth . . . Kemalyan's sing ing of Lieder showed thought and good taste." "Perhaps the most outstand' ing quality of his singing is his ability to project a sustained le eato in tones of miraculous smoothness and power," said R H. Hagan, San Francisco chronicle. "Stephen-Kemalyan's magni ficently resonant baritone and perfect enunciation would seem to be among the things that opera is waiting for. But though of operatic caliber, there was no hint of condescension in the ex pert way he disposed of 'All Through the Night,' and 'Begin the Beguine,' "Albert Gold berg, Los Angeles Times.
