in the TEMPEST ANDERSON HALL (Museum Gardens).
PIANOFORTE RECITAL by
ERIC HARRISON
ERIC HARRISON was born in Halifax; both his parents were musicians. At
the age of nine he won the F. de G. English Piano Scholarship, and at sixteen
the Open Piano Scholarship at the Royal College of Music. A year later he
took his F.R.C.O. winning the Lafontaine Prize. His career at College was a
brilliant one. He won
the extemporisation prize three times; then the
Dannreuther concerto prize, and was chosen to play the Paganini Rhapsody of
Rachmaninoff for the premiere of Fokine's ballet, "Paganini," at Covent
Garden.
During the war he served in the R.A. and R.A.F., and, after being invalided
out of the Service, gave concerts for C.E.M.A.
He is one of the most popular of English solo pianists. He broadcasts
frequently for the B.B.C., and has played for Hilversum and Radiodiffusion
Francaise; he has appeared regularly at the Promenade Concerts, Royal Albert
Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall, and National Gallery, and in most
provincial cities. Meanwhile his fame has spread abroad, and he has toured
extensively in America, Canada, France, Switzerland and Poland. His methods
derive from Classical tradition, for he studied with the late Mme. Dessauer,
herself a pupil of Mme Schumann.
ERIC HARRISON is now a professor and examiner at the Royal College of
Music.

THURSDAY EVENING, 18th NOVEMBER, 1954, at 7-30 p.m.

PIANOFORTE RECITAL by
KATHLEEN LONG
KATHLEEN LONG played in public at the age of eight, but her serious
studies began when she won an open scholarship at the Royal College of
Music at the age of fourteen. Her London debut was made at the Aeolian
Hall at the age of nineteen. She played in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium,
Canada and the U.S.A. (She visited the latter just before the war and won
most excellent opinions from the Town Hall, New York).
One of the most popular of English broadcasting artistes, KATHLEEN LONG
has played hundreds of times from London and on numerous occasions from
Hilversum, Radio Paris and from Canada. Her Decca recordings have a world-
wide sale, particularly those of the Mozart concerti, the Faure Ballade for
pianoforte and orchestra, and many other works of Faure, and also many
Scarlatti sonatas. Her recording of the Mozart C. minor Concerto with the
famous Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam under Edward van Beinum has
been highly commended.
KATHLEEN LONG has been associated with many famous artists in Chamber
Music, including Pablo Casals, who gave two recitals with her on his only
visit to England since the war, in 1946. She has played frequently with the
French flautist, Rene le Roy, with the Arte Quartet, with the fine Loewengut
Quartet in Paris, and with the Schweelinck Quartet in Holland. She was
decorated by the French Government in 1950 for "services to French music."

RECITAL by
JOHN GAVALL
INTERNATIONAL GUITAR SINGER
This unusual new artist, a young English baritone, sings folksongs and popular
songs in nine languages, accompanying himself on the Spanish Guitar. After
studying languages at Cambridge he served in the R.A.F. throughout the war,
and on being demobilised went into business in South America. But the pull
of Music proved too strong for him, and when in 1951 he decided to become
a musician, he was almost immediately engaged as the first cabaret act ever
sponsored by the Edinburgh Festival Society. Initially booked only for the
opening week, his success led to re-engagement in the closing week. Gavall
has since appeared on a number of B.B.C. Radio and Television programmes,
and recently visited Holland to broadcast from Hilversum. On this occasion
he was heard by 40 European impresarios who were having their annual meeting
in The Hague, with the result that he received many offers of Continental
engagements, the first of which he fulfils by appearing from the 1st February
as the solo Cabaret at the Casino at Cannes.
7. . THURSDAY EVENING, 10th MARCH, 1955, at 7-30 p.m.
in the TEMPEST ANDERSON HALL (Museum Gardens).
VIOLIN RECITAL by
BERYL KIMBER
With WILFRID PARRY at the Piano
BERYL KIMBER was born in 1928 in Tasmania, Australia. She studied in
Australia with the French Celebrity Jeanne Gautier.
She was soloist many times with all Australian Orchestras and for the Australian
Broadcasting Commission.
She won the Commonwealth-wide British Council Scholarship to the Royal
Academy of Music in England for three years, to study with Frederick Grinke.
While at the Royal Academy of Music she gained every prize for violinists.
In 1948 BERYL KIMBER made her debut in London with Gerald Moore at
the Wigmore Hall. During the Season 1950-51 she gained a Scholarship to study
with Georges Enesco in Paris for six months, and this was followed by a
Concert Tour with the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra and a widespread tour
of Australia in 1951.
In September, 1951, she took part in a Promenade Concert in the Royal Albert
Hall and a succession of Recitals and Concertos in the provinces of England,
Ireland and Wales.

RECITAL by
JANET HOWE
Mezzo-Soprano
Accompanied by DAVID ANDREWS.
By permission of the Governors of Sadler's Wells.
JANET HOWE has sung under such famous conductors as Sir John Barbirolli,
Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Adrian Boult, Fritz Busch, Basil Cameron, Sir Malcolm
Sargent and Sir Henry Wood.
When the late Sir Henry Wood heard her sing he was so impressed with her
voice and artistry that he gave her three Promenade Concert engagements
immediately and sponsored her appearances all over England, introducing her to
all the leading Choral Societies in the country, with whom she continues to
make regular appearances. Sir Henry was particularly impressed with her
singing of the Angel in Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius," which she performed
frequently under his direction.
4.
JANET HOWE made her operatic debut in the title role of Bizet's "Carmen."
Her success was instantaneous, and she was engaged to take part in performances
of this Opera sponsored by the New Zealand Government. During her
triumphant success over there she registered her 100th performance of this
colourful role. This was followed by "The Barber of Seville," in which
she sang Rosina in its original mezzo-soprano form. This was only possible
because she has a voice of wide range and a facile coloratura which enables
her to sing roles which have been incorporated into the soprano repertoire
for lack of mezzos with the necessary range and technique. At Sir Thomas
Beecham's special request, she sang in "The Bohemian Girl" at Covent Garden,
under his direction; she also sang at Glyndebourne in "The Marriage of
Figaro" under Fritz Busch.
JANET HOWE has sung for all the principal Choral Societies in Great
Britain and also in the B.B.C. Symphony Concerts.
THURSDAY EVENING, 6th JANUARY, 1955, at 7-30 p.m.
in the TEMPEST ANDERSON HALL (Museum Gardens).

EVELYN ROTHWELL. When the Oboe Concerto of Mozart was discovered
in 1948 after being lost since the 18th century, the honour of giving the first
performance in Mozart's birthplace fell to EVELYN ROTHWELL. Now
internationally known, it is interesting to realise that her career began through
sheer chance. She took up the Oboe at the age of eighteen merely because
the orchestra of her School (Downe House, Newbury) wanted an Oboe player.
Within a year she won a Scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London
where she studied under Goossens." She immediately established herself with
performances and recordings at home and abroad, and after a gap in her
career, following her marriage to John Barbirolli in 1939, she continued to
enhance her reputation.
In recent years she has made records for H.M.V. with her husband and the
Halle Orchestra and with Wilfrid Parry.
EVELYN ROTHWELL broadcasts regularly and many works have been written
especially for her. She edits music for the oboe for the Oxford University
Press, Chester, and Boosey and Hawkes, and her recently finished book on Oboe
Technique is already being reprinted by Oxford University Press.
WILFRID PARRY studied at Trinity College of Music, where he held the
Bambridge Piano Scholarship, won the Chappell Gold Medal and was awarded
a fellowship of the College. He is well known for the versatile nature of his
work, which includes concertos, recitals and chamber music. He has broadcast
regularly since 1929 as a soloist, as a member of the ZEPHYR TRIO, the
CAMDEN TRIO (with Evelyn Rothwell and Archie Camden), the Wigmore
Ensemble, and the Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble, and as a sonata player with
Jean Pougnet and Anthony Pini. In whatever field of music he performs he
earns the highest praise for his polished playing, his musicianship and his
sensitive artistry. WILFRID PARRY was a Royal Artillery Officer in World
War II.
5. THURSDAY EVENING, 27th JANUARY, 1955, at 7-30 p.m.
in the TEMPEST ANDERSON HALL (Museum Gardens).
PIANOFORTE RECITAL by
DOROTHEA BRAUS
At an early age DOROTHEA BRAUS combined the essential qualities of
brilliant technique and profound musical sensibility. At seventeen she was
playing solo pianoforte with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and
also appeared at the Hamburg Philharmonic Concerts.
This was the start of her touring career, which took her to the majority of
European Capitals, where she played and broadcast with such fine Orchestras
as the Guerzenich at Cologne, under Professor Abendroth, the Gewandhaus
Orchestra at Leipzig, under Carl Schuricht, and the Berlin Philharmonic.
Apart from Concerto work she has given many pianoforte recitals, where, again,
her warmth of expression and masterly technique made a great impression.
Since coming to England, she has played with the London Philharmonic
Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, the B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra, the City
of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, the
Boyd Neel Orchestra and the London Mozart Players.
In recent
In addition, DOROTHEA BRAUS has broadcast frequently from Continental
and English radio stations, and has made recordings for Decca.
years she has also made repeated tours of Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and
Sweden under distinguished Conductors such as Scherchen, Sacher, Talich and
Dr. Karl Boehm.

EVELYN ROTHWELL. When the Oboe Concerto of Mozart was discovered in 1948 after
being lost since the 18th century, the honour of giving the first performance in
Mozart's birthplace fell to EVELYN ROTHWELL. Now internationally known, it is
interesting to realise that her career began through sheer chance.
She took up
the Oboe at the age of 18 merely because the orchestra of her School (Downe House,
Newbury) wanted an Oboe player. Within a year she won a Scholarship to the Royal
College of Music in London where she studied under Goossens.
established herself with performances and recordings at home and abroad, and after
She immediately
a gap in her career, following her marriage to John Barbirolli in 1939, she continued
to enhance her reputation.
In recent years she has made records for H.M.V. with her husband and the Halle
Orchestra and with Wilfrid Parry.
EVELYN ROTHWELL broadcasts regularly and many works have been written especially
for her. She edits music for the oboe for the Oxford University Press, Chester,
and Boosey and Hawkes, and her recently finished book on Obeo Technique is
already being reprinted by Oxford University Press.
WILFRID PARRY studied at Trinity College of Music where he held the Bambridge
Piano Scholarship, won the Chappell Gold Medal and was awarded a fellowship of the
College. He is well known for the versatile nature of his work, which includes
concertos, recitals and chamber music. He has broadcast regularly since 1929 as
a soloist, as a member of the ZEPHYR TRIO, the CAMDEN TRIO (With Evelyn Rothwell
and Archie Camden) the Wigmore Ensemble, and the Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble, and as
a sonata player with Jean Pougnet and Anthony Pini. In whatever field of music
he performs he earns the highest praise for his polished playing, his musicianshåp
and his sensitive artistry. WILFRID PARRY was a Royal Artillery Officer in
World War II.

PIANOFORTE RECITAL by
DOROTHEA BRAUS.
At an early age DOROTHEA BRAUS combined the essential qualities of brilliant
technique and profound musical sensibility. At seventeen she was playing
solo pianoforte with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and also
appeared at the Hamburg Philharmonic Concerts.
This was the start of her touring career, which took her to the majority
of European Capitals, where she played and broadcast with such fine
Orchestras as the Guerzenich at Cologne, under Professor Abendroth, the
Gewandhaus Orchestra at Leipzig, under Carl Schuricht, and the Berlin
Philharmonic.
Apart from Concerto work she has given many pianoforte recitals, where,
again, her warmth of expression and masterly technique made a great impression.
Since coming to England, she has played with the London Philharmonic Orchestra,
, London Symphony Orchestra, the B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra, the City of
Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, the Boyd
Neel Orchestra and the London Mozart Players.
In addition, DOROTHEA BRAUS has broadcast frequently from Continental and
English radia stations and has made recordings for Decca. In recent years
she has also made repeated tours of Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and Sweden
under distinguished Condu clars such as Scherchen, Sacher, Talich and Dr. Karl
Boehm.

RECITAL by
JOHN GAVALL.
INTERNATIONAL GUITAR SINGER.
This unusual new artist, a young English baritone, sings folksongs and popular
songs in nine languages, accompanying himself on the Spanish Guitar. After
studying languages at Cambridge he served in the R.A.F. throughout the war, and
on being demobilised went into business in South America. But the pull of
Music proved too strong for him, and when in 1951 he decided to become a
musician, he was almost immediately engaged as the first cabaret act ever
sponsored by the Edinburgh Festival Society. Initially booked only for the
opening week, his success led to re-engagement in the closing week. Gavall has
since appeared on a number of B.B.C. Radio and Television programmes, and recently
visited Holland to broadcast from Hilversum. On this occasion he was heard by
40 European impresarios who were having their annual meeting in The Hague, with
the result that he received many offers of Continental engagements, the first
of which he fulfils by appearing from the 1st February as the solo Cabaret at
the Casino at Cannes.
