FRIDAY, DECEMBER TENTH 



MR. AND MRS. DAVID MANNES 



Recital for Violin and Piano 



Curtis Lyceum, Staten Island Academy, at 8.15 P. M. 



The form of chamber music presented by these artists in character and 

 rarely presented on the concert platform. 



Mr. Mamies comes to us with an established reputation as solo violinist 

 and ensemble player of unusual appreciation and dignity. He is ably seconded 

 by Mrs. Mannes, whose part is more than that of accompanist, embracing as it 

 does the second voice in a duet — in which both instruments are of equal 

 importance. 



The program cannot fail to please anyone interested in music of high order, 

 especially when rendered by artists of the caliber of Mr. and Mrs. Mannes.

Mr. and Mrs. Mannes played throughout with a fine appreciation of the 

 various moods and characteristics of the respective composers. 



It was true chamber playing. The presentation of the thought was intimate; 

 there was constant suggestion as though in confidential conversation. Mr. 

 Mannes' proficiency was already known and esteemed. Mrs. Mannes is an ex- 

 cellent ensemble player. She has a charming touch, adequate general technic, 

 a fine sense of proportion and a truly musical spirit. 



New York Tribime. 



The audiences that have come to know Mr. and Mrs. David Mannes's in- 

 terpretation of music, arranged for the piano and violin, are always keenly 

 appreciated if not boisterously demonstrative. The unusual outburst at the 

 close of the recital of sonatas at the Stuyvesant Theatre last night was not only 

 a tribute to the performers for their work of the evening, but — and more especi- 

 ally — a testimonial of the esteem of the gradually growing audiences this 

 earnestly and studious couple of musicians has drawn to its following.

* * * These artists have arrived at the acme of excellence in ensemble 

 playing, and the programme of last evening demonstrated the care and the 

 muscianship which dominates everything they do.
