De Gray Gives Recital On Works of Beethoven
Julian De Gray continued his lecture recitals on Beethoven Tuesday night, May 5, at the conservatory recital hall, N.E. Second avenue and Fourteenth street, interrupted last week by an exposition of the ultra modern composers.
He had already given two evenings in his Beethoven series, playing and expounding three sonatas at each recital, one from each of the three distinct periods of creative work by the great composer.
Mr. De Gray regards Beethoven as the perfect balance between the subjective and the objective sense in music. At Tuesday’s recital he played some of the sonatas from the latter part of the third period, which include some of Beethoven’s most profound works.
Musical activities will play an important part in the first summer session of the University of Miami, which begins June 15 and extend« to July 25.
Aside from offering courses in all branches of music and furnishing standard collegiate credits towards university degrees or official certificates for teachers, the summer music school will give a series of concerts by noted artists.
There will be chamber music concerts, vocal and instrumental recitals, and evenings devoted to orchestral and choral music. The new down-town quarters of the conservatory on Second ave., with its recital hall and spacious patio, will furnish a comfortable and accessible setting for concerts.
It is expected that the orchestral and choral programs will be given in Bayfront Park. Thus year round residents of Miami as well as the summer visitors and students will be able to enjoy them.
Practically the entire faculty of the university school of music will remain for the summer session and will participate in the series of concerts.
