Tito Schipa and Piatisorsky
Headline Concert Series

Imperial Valley music lovers GER
tainly can not complain this year
of the lack of advantages, for the
names to be featured in this sea-
sons concert series sponsored by
the Imperial Valley Music Teachers
association, read like the list of
concerts for a big metropolitan
center:
Tito Schipa, leading lyric tenor
for the Metropolitan opera associa-
ton, probably the first tenor of
today; Gregor Piatigorsky, known
as the greatest exponent of the
Cello Fray and Braggiotti, DUO
pianists featured with the Boston
symphony orchestra and who have
appeared in concerts throughout
the country, and Lee Whitney, we'll
known star of the stage production
of The reat Waltz are the artists
to be presented.
Schipa and Piatigorsky are world
famous and need no introduction
and the other two concerts are to
be given by artists of nigh calibre
who are rapidly reaching the high
places in the musical world.
Schipa is preeminent in the ten
or field and his coming alone is
a triumph for the music teachers
as is the appearance of Piatigorsky
who several years ago thrilled a
valley audience when he was pres
ented.
Due to the fact that Fray and
Braggiotti are coming west to ap-
pear on nationally known pro-
