Rose hampton Delights Capacity
Audience in Splendid Concert

AS If a voice of surprising love-
illness were not enough, Rose
hampton, mezzo soprano, has been
endowed with exceptional beauty
and charm, gifts which made her
, concert Monday night a memoir
able one to the capacity house
which greeted her in Wilson school
auditorium, her concert being the
second In the annual series spon-
sored by the Imperial Valley Mu-
jsic Teachers association.
The reason for the rapid rise to
fame. of this leading mezzo-sopra-
no, OF the Metropolitan opera as
sociaton, was evident to all who
heard her. Miss hampton has
voice of exceptional range and
flexibility and she sings with ap-
parently effortless ease. Her tones
are remarkable in quality, rich,
smooth, pure and she produces
them with a freedom and reso-
nance which makes her perfor-
mances genuinely thrilling to her
listeners. Not only is her voice
suited to anything in the con-
tralto's repertoire but it has a
range and quality which enable
her to Sing many of the roles of
lyric soprano.
Another outstanding quality of
her performance is her clear cut
diction.
Excellent Program
In her program Monday night
Miss hampton presented pro-
gram fresh and unhackneyed, rang
ing from the opening group of
old English songs, through Ger
man, French and American songs,
and the magnificent selection from
Verdi's "Eernani" Each group was
sung. with consummate artistry and
the singer was more than gra-
cious with her encores, responding
again and again to the enthusiast
tic applause of her audience.
In answer to a special request
she sang as one of her encoreS
the beautiful aria from Puccinis
la Tosca". Her encores were
equally we'll chosen and included
two delightful modern American
numbers.
No small part OF the success of
the program was due to the skill
full piano accompaniment by Nils
Nelson who also proved himself
to be a pianist of note in his
group of solo numbers which met
with delighted approval s-on the
part of the audience, enthusiastic
applause demanding an encore.
The third and last concert of
the series will feature Lyell Bar
bour, pianist.
The date for this concert is March
%. Mr.. Barbour just recently play
