IlIlal pTOleSSlOlldI concert SCneQ

1928 will be given Friday after
noon by Giovanni Martinelli. I
has been an unusually happy sea
son muSically, with packed houses
or Standing-room-o m-only capacit,
for the concerts last week. and
although the warm sunshine in

the afternoons now. memor!
turns pleasantly upon many o.
the programs that have made ur
a busy and especially attractive
season.
The last orchestral concert viii
be given March q. when Mr.
Smith will present the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra in its
final program of the five sched-
uled for Washington. The SoloiSt
at that time will be Lea Lubo-
shutz. the brilliant woman violin
list whom Mrs. Townsend present
ed here earlier in the Winter in
her local debut. 1t was one of the
most memorable of the seasons
programs, for Nine. LuboShutz
appeared in a sonata and con-
certo program with Josef Hof-
mann, the great pianist, who is
so rarely heard in any other than
solo recitalS, and whose artistry
in the ensemble works on that
program was an added revelation
to his many admirers in the Ma
tional Capital. Pierre Monteux
French orchestral conductor, will
conduct this concert.
WITH the Lenten season well
w launched toward Easter, the
second Sunday of April. it is quite
appropriate that Washington
music lovers find many organ re-
citals listed. These offer music OF
a sacred or purely classical ma
ture that blend we'll with the at
titude of mind that this period OF
the religious Christian year is
supposed to foster.
Especially distinctive this week
should be the recital to be given
as a benefit program at Calvary
Baptist Church, when Archer Glib
son, famous New York organiSt,
who has been heard frequently
In Washington previously. will
play on the new organ at that
church. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Gibson played the dedi-
catory program on the huge in
strument at the Washington
Auditorium. He also is well known
here for his unusual programs on
private organs located in homes
In and about the city.
A fine group of local leading or
ganiSts are presenting carefully
prepared and well arranged pro-
grams on the organs of different
churches of the city. The EpiS-
copal churches seem particularly
inclined to favor this form of
musical program for Lent. At
Epiphany, the National Cathe-
drai, st. Johns on Lafayette
Square, and other churches OF
that faith different well known
organists are presenting series OF
recitais. All Souls Unitarian
Church also has series OF sucf
programs.
