born Ernesto Lecuona, rated
as one of the four greatest
living composers, gave the
premier American perform
ance of his new composition,
q haunting ballad entitled
'sRecordar," in a concert at
the high school auditorium.
For the most part, the audience
which attended last nights con.

to be privileged to hear the piece
"a composition which showed that
even after a distinguished career
which began in 1914, Lecuona has

Tonight, Maestro Lecuona will
offer another concert at 8:15 pm.
at which time be will unveil two
more of his latest works, the
