He has gained for him self an international reputation, not only for the beauty and rich quality of ^is voice, but for Ms sensiitivdty, profound under- sta'nding and brilliant intei- pretive powers. Born in Angers, France, Ger- Souzay spent his child- hcod in the heart of an en- ithusiastflcally musiical family. It was not always, however, Ms plan to be a singer. He ait- tended ithe College of Chinon whffl'e he concentraited on phil osophy. At the ago of 18 Sou- zay went to Paris to w'ork to ward an advanced degree in this field, having relegated music to an avocation, ratlier than a career. In Paris, he be gan itn coach with the noted Fiench musician Pierre Ber- ac, and two years later, ex changing music for philosophy entered the Paris Conservatory. Wliile attending the Paris Ccnservat-ory he was honored wdlh bath the Premier Prix (lu chant and the Preinier Prix de Vocalise.

The highlight of this season was his American debut as an opera star. Person ally selected by the great Leo pold Stokowski to portray the title role in Monteverdi’s OR- FEO on opening nigtht at the New York City Center, .the essence of his success is re flected in a letter from Maes tro Stokowski: “Thank you for outstandingly beautiful perfor mances, both vocally and dra- maitically. I hope to have the artistic pleasure of making mu sic with you again, either in America or in Europe. You fulfilled completely my con ception of Orfeo, and establish ed for all of us an ideal level of performance.” Ever since his enormously successful debut in New York’s Town Hall in 1950, Gerard Sou zay has been one of the most sought-after vocal antists to ap pear on this continent. Like ilihe ancient troubadors of legend, he travels (throughout the entire world, acquiring the spirit and art of each place he visits, and in return, giving to each the benefits of his international art Unlike the ancient troubadors, he is an artist of the highest calibre, leaving nothing to chance, but studiously develop ing and maturing his art vrath each performance. To the art of music he brings an under standing and apprectiartion of all the other arts and the en thusiasm of a profound and searching inteHect. An evening of Souzay music is indeed an everting of magic. Help . . .
