Miss Bidez Recital.


A recital of great interest was that
of Miss Sue Sheppard, pianiste, assist
ed by Misses Fariss and Overton,
vocalists, which occurred last even
ing at the studio of the gifted teach
err, Miss Cecile Bidez, on North Gar
den. The recitals of Miss Bidez pu-
pills are always anticipated with pleas
ure by professional and dilletants for
their educational value and that OF
last night seemed especially happy
for the display of the students IA
cility and excellent training.
Miss Sheppard showed at once that
her teacher was wise in permitting
her to play in the public. She is a
competent pianiste, where technic is
adequate to the demands made upon
it during the varied and difficult pro-
gram. She has an excellent touch, is
musical, and plays with great ease
and with a charming note of individu-
atty in her interpretations. In the
number for two pianos her absolute
certainty, and reliability of technic,
with well developed rhymthic sense
and finetone color were very marked
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1911-04-14

In her solo numbers which demand
ed facile fingers, varied shading and
! accuracy of execution, she won the
highest praise. Miss Sheppard Is
very young, and with further study
She gives promise of an extremely
interesting development. Miss Feriss
made a most favorable impression.
She has a voice of much sweetness
and delicacy and combined with ease
of manner and very attractive pres
ence, it thoroughly pleased her listen
ers. The violin obligato of Mrs.
Harkreader added very greatly to the
beauty of the ensemble. The singing
of Miss Overton gave a great deal of
pleasure. Flexibility, distinctures of
enunciation, range and ease of man
ner mark her singing, and she was
well received by the audience.
Miss Bidez accompaniment were
features of the evening. Never in
tending her part of the performance,
yet always giving just the right sup
port. she made of them webs of true
colors rather than notes and melo-
dies. AS a teacher Miss Bidez is an
inspiration to all her pupils. She has
