MISS GINRICH'S RECITAL
Olives Excellent Concert in Foyer OF
the Academy

Miss Lillian Ginrich. soprano, gave
an excellent recital of songs in the
foyer of the Academy Of Music last
evening before d fair sized but enthU-
siastic audience. Her program was a
comprehensive one, ranging from Scar.
latti and Handel. through grOhp oi
Schubert and Schumann. TO the modern
Russian and American composers, with
Nlsa's Dream from "Lohengrin' as the
operatic number. She was very cor
daily received and had to sing Il mum
ber of encOres.
Miss Ginrich perhaps did best in the
great German songs of Schumann and
Schubert, although she created a deep
impression with Kurt SCHNEIDER $ ar
rangement Of ELI. Ell" Rachmani
noif's ''The Silent Night" and Arpn
sky's "Little Fish's Song She also
did the elaborate Wagncrian number
exceedingly well.
Her voice is high anI clear and she
has 1t under remarkable control. making
the skips with great accuracy and
without the inartistic portAmeato 50
much affected By some singers. In
olality 1t is very good, and she has all
the volume which Is needed even for
operatic work. Her recital was very
r,,rccsaful from every standpoint. Miss
