ERNESTO VALLEJO, 14-year-ol6
- Filipino violinist, has been called
the best violinist in the Far East.
The youth is coming to Washington
through the courtesy Of the represent
atives of his country here, to play
at the entertainment given in honor
of the World Fellowship Through
Music by the University Club the night
of April II, the day following the
appearance here of the Bach Choir.
Mr.. Vallejo will be accompanied on
the piano by Kurt Hetzel, European
conductor, associated here with the
Washington Opera Company.
This youthful prodigy was "discov-
cred" by Mischa Elman, well-known
violinist. during one of his visits in
the Philippines while on n concert tour
of the Orient. After hearing the lad
play, Mr.. Elman remarked that it was
a crime to keep him away from the
great advantages of study in America
and on the continent, where he could
perfect his technique and get excellent
training. The Philippine government
took his suggestion, and Vallejo is
now in New York under the tutelage
of a leading Instructor of his instru-
ment. After completing his course in
America he will go to Europe and
study with leading musicians of the
continent. He then hopes to give
concert tours of both America and
Europe.

formance in Washington will be

eagerress. 1t should attract people

bia but from the surrounding towns
and nearby cities.

soprano; Mabel Addison. contralto;
Nicholas Doughty, tenor, and Charles
Trowbridge Tittmann, Washington

suggests fairy music, especially
