SERIES OF CONCERTS
OPENS AT UNIVERSITY
Lyric Soprano Received by Enthu-
siastic Audience Last Night
at Howard.

The first of the series Of concerts
sponsored by Howard University
brought Abbie Mitchell, lyric soprano,
to the university auditorium in a song
recital. Miss Mitchell Is at present
head Of the vocal department of the
Tuskegee Institute School of Music and
is well known in Washington.
The program which Miss Mitchell
presented was Of more artistic content
than is ordinarily heard outside of a
Constitution Hall recital. Some of the
numbers, such as Schubert's Die
Junge Nome" and Der Erlkoenig,"
are universal favorites although put
into programs with discretion, while
such songs as Lied der Mignon" and
Die Stadt" by Schubert, Cimara's
"Mysticite" and Chausson's "Apaise-
ment" are sung too rarely.
From the standpoint of interpreta-
tion, Miss Mitchell demonstrated not
only her understanding of the style Of
singing the character of the songs re-
quired, but deep harmony Of feeling
with the sentiment they expressed.
and the two French numbers were par
tlcularly we'll sung, Miss Mitchell put
ting the proper restrain into her vocal
delivery to make them most effective.
While the sentiment of the songs
were well in keeping with Miss Mitch
ellis ability to interpret them they
were not altogether of a character to
show her voice to the best advantage.
1t was the aria from Aida, "Ritorna,
vincitor." that brought out its sweet
lyric quality to the full with more
clarity than was heard in the songs
Miss Mitchell sang it with abandon and
was rewarded with enthusiastic ap-
plause
A group of songs in English con-
tanned several numbers of rare mu-
sical value. The Creole Lullaby, Cue,
que solingai." arranged by Miss Nick
erson, was particularly effective and the
warm applause with which it was re-
ceived was doubled when Miss Nick
erson arose from her place in the audi
ence in acknowledgement. The gen.
eral response Of the audience was a
real appreciation of Miss Mitchell's
serious attitude toward art demanding
encores Miss Mitchell generously added.
William Allen provided sympathetic
accompaniments throughout the taxing
