The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-06-03

in his present home, a man of large
experience, both in the direction and
training of chorus and in developing
the individual voice, singer of world
wide ronwn, a thorough musician and
competent to direct the musical des-
tinies of any organization.
In this connection it would be
manifestly unfair to neglect to speak
of Miss Terry recently from London,
where she took leading place among
the great musicians of that city.
To those who have heard Miss
Terry play the piano it is unneces-
sary to say that she is one of the
greatest lady pianists in the world,
such ability is meant that she plays
in such beautiful, musical and ar
tistic manner that everyone is charm
ed, and willing to concede the truth
of any superlative that might be ap-
piled to the beauty of her musical
art,
With the work that has been done
at Shelley and Blackfoot with the
choruses, all by the same director,
ducing these wonderful expressions
of the masters art in music.
In presenting the work announced,
and with the expressed intention of
sparing no effort to make the first
Musical Festival, one long to be cher
! ished as the first opportunity for
many Of the younger people at least,
to hear music of this class. 1t Is
earnestly believed and hoped that
there will be an effort made by every
one, to attend and prove that it is
possible to have as good music here
as any where in the west.
The orchestra that has been engag-
ed is composed largely of musicians
who are members of the Salt Lake
Symphony society, and will number
about 80 men, this alone would be
sufficient guarantee that Blackfoot is,
and means to be, the leader in all
things that mean delightful and
profitable place for many people who
are coming from the older and crowd
ed communities of the east seeking
homes where every gift of nature
has been lavished to make the ideal
home, and where man is vieing with
all toA.pake his share of life COM
