The fifth of q series Of lectures on
operas, given at the Ell Paso School
for Girls, occurred Monday afternoon
The opera given was Lohengrin- A. F.
Sievers spoke of the necessity for ex-
haustive study of opera prior to Lohen-
grin, in order to understand Wag-
aerian operas Elsa's Dream and the
Balcony song were most artistically
rendered by Miss Helen Cooper, while
Parvin Witte delighted his hearers
with his rendition of the Swan song
and Lohengrin's song Of the Holy Grail
Several numbers were played on the
pianola
Beside the regular student body, a
number Of friends were present, all
spending a delightful hour.
The oXn1liSffplV
pink tinted ball room of the Toltec
club with its heavy velvet tapestries,
white Ionic columns and light studded
ceiling made a perfect setting for the
trio of girl musicians, the Pasmore
Trio, who played such harmony as is
seldom heard from strings. One need
know nothing Of the technique OF mu-
sic. nothing Of the things which are
the tools of the musicians art to I'M
derstapd these people Harmony, pure,
fundamental and as soulful as song it
self was the theme of the Pasmore sis
tiers playing. 1t all seemed to blend in
to one harmonious dream picture, the
music, the lights, the exquisite pink
OF the tapestries and the personalities
, of the players.
Twelve years of study under old
world masters, u years of constant
playing together, thinking together
and being together, las made of the
trio a musical unity that is as perfect
as it is possible to imagine. The Pas
more sisters, Misses Nary, Suzanne anu
Dorothy are not merely musicians;
they are artists. They play into their
/ instruments their deepest feeling and
the resulting tones from their violin,
cello and piano are the soul of har-
mony.
Miss Mary Pasmore, yiolinist of the
trio, seems to have the greatest artis-
-
ates the trio when the heavier numbers
are being given. But it is the domina-
ton of deep feeling, of inspiration and
is as Inspiring as the liquid notes from
her instrument. Miss Suzanne's playing
of the piano was as charming as her
own self In her solo numbers she play
ed the List Polonaise in E major with
a fire and spirit that best showed her
possibilities Sweet as was the music
from the two instruments, it was the
plaintive, singing quality of the eel
los tone that won the audience. Some
thing of the quaint negro plantation
plant, something of the mellow rythm
of the meadows. the playing of Miss
Dorothy Pasmore. particularly in her
solo by the Lake" was as dainty as
a bit Of old lace. But above all was
the ensemble playing of the trio.
AT the completion of the program.
the trio consented to play medly OF
songs of the south This opened with
Dixie" played by the piano and violin
in perfect imitation of the sqheaking |
tremolo fife and the booming bass
drum. Then "Old Black Joe" with the |
baritone tones of the cello taking the |
song part It was all so pleasing that |
the trio was forced to return and play |
another fantastic composition before |
the crowd would leave.
