Among changes in choir soloists, the
resignation of Mr.. Charles T.. Tittmu a
from St. Johns Choir and from the
Evening Choir Of the Church of the
Covenant. and his acceptance of the
position of soloist and precentor
at All Souls Unitarian Church next
season is important Mr.. Tittman's
career as a choir soloist has been va
ried. including st. Paurs. Boston and
Calvary Episcopal New York churches.

Johns was a renewal of an old cher
ished association with that choir as
youth. Mr.. Tittman's solo work is
too well known in Washington to nesd
comment on the good fortune of All
Souls Church in getting his services.
