The Boston Quintet, who will appear
in the First Baptist church Wednesday
evening under the auspices Of the Brat
tleboro Woman's club, occupies a unique
place in the realm of music for male
voices BY an unusual combination OF
singers 1t is able to present numbers
otherwise beyond the venture of any
less remarkable grouping of voices. This
organization has departed from the ira
ditions and limitations of the male quar-
tet; 1t has entered a new and more
varied sphere made possible by the ad-
dition of the fifth voice-a voice Of the
scope and brilliancy of the highest So
prano, one of the rarest male voices in
the world. The effects thus obtained are
as startling as they are delightful nor
has art been sacrificed for mere novelty.
Not the least attractive feature is the
refreshing touch of informality in the
presentation of an interesting and I'M
usual program-unusual in that 1t in
cudes special arrangements from favor
lite assics such as the quartet from
Rigoletto and the sextet from Lucia da
Lammermoor as well as gems of current
popular song.
