She has recently returned from an extensive recital and concert tour of Australia and Italy. Besides a busy concert schedule she finds time to give master- classes in musical centres throughout the British Isles. Miss Rosen- berg graduated from the Juilliard School of Music and has worked with Nadia Boulanger, Szyman Goldberg and Ivan Galamian. Craig Sheppard is making a welcome return to the BMS. He was born in Philadelphia. He also studied at the Juilliard School. During the summers of 1969 and 1970 Mr. Sheppard participated in the Marlboro Festival in Vermont. The influence of Rudolf Serkin and Pablo Casals strengthened the roots of his love for chamber music, a love which also extends to the lieder repertoire. He has frequently appeared in recitals with well-known singers and chamber artists. His support and sensitivity to these artists has always met with the greatest critical acclaim. In 1971 he was the winner of the coveted Dealey Award in Dallas. In 1972 he took second prize in the International Leeds Competi- tion in England. Since then, his career has taken him to four continents including many of the major capitals of Europe.
