excellent cellist and his group met
with much applause.
After the Schumann number the
trio Hlayed an interesting Mac

the voyage of the MayfloWer to-
wards "a land of promise.

Henry Marcot whom valley mu-
sic lovers have watched progress
from a talented small boy to a ma
ture capable violinist, played the
allegro, motto and viVace move
ments of the Concert in E Minor
giving full proof that he has de-
veloped into the fine musician of
which he gave promise in his ear
lier days.
The trio then presented two con-
trasting numbers, Bach minuet
and the MaSsanet "Sevillana" after
which James B. Fisher played as
piano solo the Chopin "Ballade

That Imperial Valley is fortu-
nate in having among its own
residents such a fine musical or
ganization as the Desert String
Trio was the general opinion OF
those who attended the concert
Friday night in the high school,
under the sponsorship of Wilson
P.-TA.
This trio, composed of musicians
who at the same time. are buSi-
nessman, is characterized by its
truly professional playing, and will
compare favorably with any similar
group in which the members are
free to devote their entire time
to their music. Members of the
trio are: Henry Marcot, violin; NAL
colin Macurda, cello; and James
B. Fisher, pianist.
The three presented a decidedly
Well-choSen program in which the
progress they have made since
their organization a year ago, was
clearly evident.
Schumann Number
Highlight of the evening was the
beautiful Schumann Trio in D
Minor" of which they played the
lento and con fuoco movements,
their playing being marked by re-
markable harmony, smoothness and
blending, with the solo passages
to give contrasting accents to the
ensemble.
The program opened with the
lovely 20 Scatissima' 'Corelli-
Kreisler) after which Mr.. Macurda
played his solo group, Largo ct
Vivace" (Marcello Salmon and
"Elegie' (GodoWsky). Each individ-
ual is an expert musician and it
was interesting to hear them both
in their ensemble work and in their
