ing the coming season at the Washing
ton Auditorium by the Washington CO.
operative Artist Concert Course, Is a
unique figure tn contemporary musical
life
Born and educated In New York City,
America may we'll be proud OF Its
famous contralto, for despite the popu-
lar belief that European reputation
Is essential to success i'll this country,
Sophie Braslau was firmly established
here long before she duplicated her
American triumph on the other side Of
the Atlantic.
There Is a story told Of her at the
age of years. when, being on a visit
to relative, she wrote to her mother
from the country. We all went out car
riaee riding. and had a fine time sing
ing from Faust and picking black
berries"
Having been duly admitted into the
Metropolitan Opera, at that time SO
difiicult for an American singer. she
made a striking appearance and sue
cess by singing on short notice The title
role of "Shanewis.' which she carried
with such distinctive etoquence that
she was taken into those holy precincts
where singers OF Fides and Dalila
dwell in sublime restriction
Soon afterward. however, the concert
stage beckoned to her. Sophie Braslau
Is one of the most popular singers on
concert as we'll as opera stages.
Her local appearance this season will
be made In Joint recital with Efrem
ZimbaiiSt, one Of the worlds most
famous violinists. In the new concert
course. directed by DR. Harold NJ Dud-

way toward making music an integral
