Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-02-18

I(N@ @
The orchestra program given under
the auspices of the Music club at the
Presbyterian church onMonday evening
attracted fair, tho not large audience
an audience, in fact. not commensurate
with the merits of the performance.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Clark,
this body of 20 players performed in
manner that would have been credit
able in much larger place than Rocky
Ford.
A well prepared paper on 1.-THE Or
chestra" by Mrs. d. H. Greene and
piano solo, played by Mrs. Harriet
Randall in her usual artistic manner,
preceded the orchestral part of the
program, which was rendered with
vigor and good expression. Future re-
hearsals will enable Mr.. Clark to secure
more precision and the finer nuances of
expression, which gave finesse to a
performance.
The vocal solos by Mrs. Hardey and
Mr.. Elser were acceptably given and
thoroughly appreciated by the audience.
Much credit is due the Music Club
and to the musicians who made the pro-
gram possible, and who are seeking to
create genuine appreciation and
understanding of music in Rocky Ford.
