PHILLIPS RUSSELL CONFERENCE CLASS ALUMNI BUILDING 7:15 THE MOUNTAIN SONG PLAYMAKERS THEATRE TONIGHT -8:30 ft i s .v IT ! voLU3IE XXXIX RUSSIAN QUARTET TO SING CHURCH AND FOUL MUSIC Group Said To Represent High est Achievement in Particular Types of Music. The Kedroff Quartet, which is to appear here under the aus pices of the student entertain ment committee I uesday at eight-thirty, represents . the highest achievement of Russian vocal art, and is considered as one of the best exponents : of Eussjan folk and church music. The group originally formed . tnnrr 1 "D--P,, XT XT Tr - J roff; his brother C. N. Kedroff, formerly professor with the School of Musical Technique in Petrograd, joined in 1910, and the first and second tenors, I. K. Denisoff and T. F. Kasakoff, "both formerly with the Imperial Eussian Opera of Petrograd, joined in 1920. In 1923, due to the Russian revolution, they were stripped of all their possessions, and after severe hardships, they managed I to leave Russia. However it was not long before their fame 3gain spread through Western Europe. January 7, .1928, at Town Hall, New York, the Quartet made its American de but and in three seasons before the American public the Ked roffs have won a triumph which is compared favorably with their conquest of Europe. Apart irom its musical per fection, from the sincerity and intensity of expression which he Kedroff s bring to their per brmances, the Quartet has achieved remarkable success in popularizing and in keeping alive Russian "vocal music in all its forms. Their programs, varied as they are, have as their basis genuine Russian folk songs. This type of music is a heritage of an ancient and ro mantic ace, for whom beauty was the immediate expression of life. After having sung all over Europe, the Kedroff Quartet came first to this country in January, 1928. They sang in such a way as to justify Chalia Pm in calling them "a miracle," and Koussevitzky in describing them as "the most wonderful Phenomenon of the vocal world today."
