ERMA MORRIS IN SECOND PIANO RECITAL
Erma Morris played the second of the Juba Award series
. al-Bach program ii. the Lecture hall of the Detroit
Institute of Arts. last Sunday afternoon.
The crowd somewhat larger than that Of her FIRST
recital but still not large as it should have BEEN
However the group present comprised for the most part
real music lovers and some few who were themselves
adept at the panoforte..
We thought it especially of Erma to explain as
she did each composition and of course the showing
of the slides, explanatory of the well tempered Gar1
chord was stroke. and we suspect the hand
and brain of Robert Hayden in the planning - .
Erma charmingy quaint gown very much n. "a
harmony with the music of Bach 1t was whIe MORE
taffea skirt with which she deep wine fitted basque
Jacket jewels other than two clips at her throat
We are able by of point of vantage IN the
audience to pass Erma these bits of gossip.
Many folk eager to hear her interpret something IN
the modern idiom and most mentioned in that vein was
(iershwins Rhapsody in Blue. yet others would reVe
In an al-Negro program.
