The Ionian Singers, who will be
heard here at $50 o'clock tonight
at the High school auditorium, are
an all-American ensemble establish
ed a number of years ago, with the
avowed purpose or seeking out and
making available to the public the
best of male-voice music, from the
da~s of Palestrina to our own. It's
research has unearthed master
pieces which have been all but
completely forgotten because of the
long-standing pre- : occupation of
male singing groups with the less
difficult ballads and popular hits
of the hour.
These men, though active and
experienced soloists in their own
right, have cultivated the rare
ability to submerge themselves in
the interests of a %delicately attuned,
blended and balanced tonal ensem.
Die. With voices of exceptional in
dividual quality and range, with a
background of long study, thorough
musicianship, uncompromising ar
tistic ideals, and extensive concert
experience, and with the natural ad-
vantage of a universal preference
for the rich harmonic beauty of
trained male voices, they offer a
program that is unique and exhil.
arating experience to every type of
listener who loves music-a pro-
gram of high musical worth, init
mate appeal and great variety.
The Ionians have developed to a
high degree of perfection the diff
cult but superlatively rewarding
art of unaccompanied singing-re-
Wardiag to listener and performer
alike. Applied even to the simplest
of f~olksongs, this superior musical
training and this artistic zeal en-.
dow them with ever more vital
heart-moving appeal. 10 audiences
everywhere, in concert and radio,
the Ionians are demonstrating the
great potential worth of a capella
ensemble singing, and the audiences
are finding that the forbidding
classics are closer to their hearts
than the familiar ballads expected
Of a male quartet"
The Ionian Singers will appear
here under the auspices Of the Will
mington Cooperative Concert asso-
citation.
AS usual, all admissions will be
by membership card only. This is
the second of three concerts to be
given by the Cooperative Concert
association this season. The third
will be appearance here Of Albert
Spalding, one Of the worlds most
famous Violinists.

able and may be used by anyone,
