In May of this year Miss KaderIy gave a song
recital in Leipzig with programme that sur
prised and performance that delighted the |
grim German critics. 1t would be a pleasure,
did space permit. to reprint some of the ex-
ceedingly cordial praise bestowed on this
young American singer by the critics of the |
Tdge6L1u and NdchTfchte7, of Leipzig and the
SdGte-Zeftung among others. All seemed to
be struck alike by the pure and sympathetic
quality of Miss Kaderly's high mezzo-soprano, |
by the warmth and intelligence of her interpre- |
.ations and by the serious artistic purpose evil
lent in ali she did. Plttsburg is glad to well |
come among her church and concert singers
and vocal teachers a young woman of winning
personality who can bring such exceptional in
dorsements from sources so reliable.
