A recital in the high school audi
| forum Friday night offered to To-
peka people an opportunity to hear
two of the newly arrived musicians in
Topeka; Mr.. and Mrs. William A.
Bunsen, of Kansas City. Mr.. Bunsen
| is in charge of the violin departing nt
| of the Muller School of Music, and
school. They are living in Kansas
City, and come to Topeka to conduct
| their classes at the school.
! Mr.. Bunsen has been studying the
| violin since he was young boy, and
| has had excellent schooling both in
America and abroad. He studied in
Berlin for eight years under such
masters as Klinger, Essay, Hess, and
| Kron. He made a special study of
| the older classes of violin literature
under Hess, who had been a pupil of
Wieniawsk and Joachim. For two
years he has been teaching in Kansas
| City, and is said to have contributed
much to the development of the ar
tistic life of that city. His heaviest
number was a concerto by Max
| Brush in which he produced a rich,
full tone and displayed unusual abil-
ity as technician. As his concert
proge essed he became increasingly
pleasing to his audience.
Mrs. Bunsen sang two groups of
songs and a Tschaikowsky number,
Juans Aria, from Farewell Ye Hill -
In her first group she gave a number
by Mr. Muller, head of the school.
lege, where she took special work in
voice. She has been engaged for a
| two years term at the school. Her
voice is a full, rich contralto Her
program was not chosen to exploit
the technical powers OF the singer,
but it brought out to good advantage
the quality of a clear, sustained tone.
