SYMPHONY PRESENTS WHAT AUDIENCE WANTS Therefore, Monday's Concert, With ·Miss Freund as Soloist, Is a Delight By Rutheda L. P'r etzel Homer Horton, president of the New Trier Township Orchestral association, in a short talk to subscribers during intermission, at the Little Symphony orchestra concert last Monday evening at New Trier High school, said the association will try to follow the wishe s of the majority so far as it can interpret them. He said particular attention will be paid to soloists next season, which will be the sixth, and that soloists of the highest calibre will he featured. He also mentioned that the association recognized that most of the subscribers cared little for the pro found in music literature, or the Yer~· modern compositions, and that the orchestra will therefor give more atten tion to p·resenting the more pleasing and familiar numbers. Monday evening's concert was of the "pleasing and familiar" type, yet it was good literature too. There wa~ nothing uncertain about the applaus(' after the brisk cleanness of Saint Saens' "Marche Militaire Francai~c" from the "Aigerienne" suite; nor wa s there anything unconvinced in the applause at the end of Beethoven' s r Minor Symphony, which was played in commemoration of the tOOth annin·rsary of his death. The first mov ement was especially clastic antl-" closely woven, and the seco nd was smoot h. mellow, and had all the niceties of sha ding one could desire. The la. t two movements were inclined to be il little loose, but they had spirit, and ended in scYeral chords that were clipp ed out with neat precision. Min Freund Scores Miss Helen Freund, soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera company, ap peared with the orchestra in ~[eyn heer's famous "Shadow Song" from "Dinorah." She followed this with an encore, "Michaela's Aria" from "Carmen." Miss Freund sings with an ease and apparent tack of effort that is delightful. She sings with warmth. as if the song is of her own making, and her voice has a lovelv texture and freshness about it. Beside a thoroughly charming voice, Miss Freund's personality, and her beautiful stage appearance (in spite of the unflattering, ghastly overhead lights) decidedly "got across." The overture to "Mignon," hy Thomas, played ·after the intermission, and Hosmer's. "A Southern Rhapsody." were both treated in a sympathetic and expert way. that showed why they are so highly favored. Miss Freund again appeared, singing the aria, "Caro Nome.' from Verdi's "Rigoletto," which she gave in a tender manner. Her encore, the waltz from "Romeo and Juliet," showed more smoothness and exactness. and she lent it a gay sense of abandon. In response to continued applause, Miss Freund sang a wistful, lovely thing, "When I was Seventeen." It would appear, from the enthusiasm of the audience, and the comments heard., that the orchestra is giving them what they want. It not only deserves support, but has· it.
