Enjoyable Concert By Theatre Men

By CUNT REED Wife: “Weren’t they wonderful?” Husband: “You’d like a dog fight if it cost money and had piano accompaniment.” Upon talking further with this couple, I found that the husband’s criticism- was that the program was more in keeping with a Broadway show rather than a serious concert which he had expected to hear. The majority of the audience felt that this was the most enjoyable concert that we have had in Decatur. It was evident that Mr. Izzo had made many- friends as the result of his appearances in Handel’s Messiah performed in Berne. Bernard Izzo and company are to be commended for helping break an American tradition by presenting European operatic selections in English. While touring Europe with ■a service orchestra tn World War II not once did I attend a local program which was not presented in the native tongue. For those who felt that this program was not in keeping with the high musical standards; whether we care to admit it or not it is only in the field of jazz, popular, show music, call it what you may, that America is recognized by the rest of the world. A modern humorous number by Shostakovitch Was well received. David Burk proved himself a very capable musician in performing this work. Many requests have been made to rate how good and how bad these artists are and I certainly hope that the day never comes when the concert hall will take on the status of a boxing ring where the winner takes the spoils, but that the music will remain a thing of beauty in the hearts of people to speak its international language. The theater men were professional musicians who knew their art. We might love them or criticize them for their choice of numbers but they did what they intended to do near-the point of perfection. The soloist certainly could be ranked among the best. Girl Scouts Girl Scout troop 230 met Monday, December 12. The meeting was called to order by the president.
