RUSSIAN SYMPHONIC CHOIR.

The group of 8 women and IL men
known as the Russian Symphonic
Choir, under the direction of Basile
Kibalchich, presented the first public
program that they have given in
Washington at the Jewish Community
Center last night. The choir was well
known by report, however. and it was
enthusiastically received by the audi
ence.
All Of the selections were sung a
capella and apparently without any
than the lifting Of the conductors s
hand in a gesture. Perhaps the most
striking number on the program was
the Rimsky -Korsakoff Bell Song"
sung by the men alone. The fame of
the Russian bass is widespread, and
sn this number the hasses more than
justified the praise that has been al
1otted to them. Another selection in
which the bass quality was a dominant
lfactor was the arrangement by NJ.
Kibalchich of Raehmaninoff's popular
|"Prelude in G Sharp Minor"
The opening number was "Tantum
Ergo" from Gluck's "Iphigenia in
Aulis," and Il was hummed with i'm
pressiye effect. In the first part of
the program, perhaps the most inter.
esting display Of the women's voices
was in Zolatarev's Little Gypsy"
other songs included familiar melo-
dies, such as the "Kol Nidre" and
s'Song Of the Volga BOatmen." along
with other interesting arrangements
>by Mr.. kibalchich. The choir was
e0stumeI in attractive red and blue
kourt costumes for the women, with
imulated jewoled headdresses and

gas the first in a series Of six pro
Grams prepared by the Jewish Com
