i Dusolina Giannin, Soprano, to Sing, With Men’s Chorus at Opening of Season of the Maennerchor

The annual concert season of the Indianapolis Maennerchor will open Nov. 28 with a concert by the men’s chorus with Dusolina Giannini, soprano soloist. This will be the third time in as many seasons that Miss Giannini has been given the honor of appearing with the club in its opening concert. The events that follow show the schedule for the season to be one of highest artistic merit, many names notable in the world of music b ing included in the list of artists c ngaged. * For the two other concerts by the chorus the assisting artists will be Elena Gerhardt, Feb. 27, and Florence Austral and John Amadio on May 14. Os thess three sopranos, each of different type and style, it would be hard to say which is most popular with Maennerchor audiences. Giannini has won her audiences with her exotic personality as well as her superbly smooth and flowing lyricism. Mme. Gerhardt has held undisputed sway in the realm of lieder for many years, each season seeming to add to her artistic glory, and Mme. Austral brings with her one of the greatest dramatic soprano Voices of our day. With Mme. Austral is, her husband, Amadio, a really wonderful artist on his chosen instrument, the flute. Karl Reckzeh continues as director of 'he chorus. For the Sunday afternoon concerts the Flonzaley string- quartet will return for their customary two programs and there will be two violin recitals, two pianists and a cellist. The Flonzaleys are among the favored artists who return season after season and are welcomed with increasing delight as-the perfection of their art never fails to enthuse their audiences. They have an especial fondness for the Maennerchor, and were, two seasons ago, : nade honorary members of the club by its president, John P. Frenzel. Their concerts will be given Dec. 11 and March 11. Myra Hess, pianist, and Hans Kindley, cellist, will make their first appearances before the club. Miss Hess, who has been a sensation In New York musical circles, will play a recital Jan. 22, and Mr. Kindley, who is hailed by some of the critics 'as the greatest cellist of our day, wlil be heard April 15. The two violinists who will appear before the club are Georges Fnesco, Roumanian, and Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian. Both of thest are superb artists and their appearances are eagerly anticipated by the club: M. Encsco will play a recital Feb. 5. and M. Szigeti will appear Jan. 8. Yolando Mero, pianist, who created such r favorable impression two seasons ago in her concert befo re the club has been engaged to give a recital on March 25. On Feb. 12 a children’s party will be given by the ladies’ auxiliary. All of the Maennerchor activities arc limited to its club members.
