Group Additions

One of the outstanding pianists
of Europe today, Egon Petri will
open the 1885 concert season in
recital at the National Theater
Sunday night.
The concert will mark the
Washington debut of the dis
tinguished Dutch musician who is
better known in Europe than in
this country.
Petri was the first artist to
play in Moscow following the
Russian revolution, having been
invited to give a concert in that
city in 1923. He created such a
sensation that he was prevailed
upon to give a series, playing 81
times in 40 days.
Trained as a violinist to follow
in the steps of his father, Petri
was a member of the Dresden
Royal Orchestra before he de-
cided to start his piano career,
in which he has since achieved
international recognition.
In his Sunday concert he will
play Brahms, Bach and Cesar
Franck.
