I Judith Sidorsky
Wins Acclaim As
Concert Pianist
Disproving the popular adage,
Judith Sidorsky covered herself
with honor in her home town at
the Detroit Institute of Arts on
Tuesday evening.
This pianist, a capable crafts-
man and highiy talented artist,
played for the annual concert
sponsored by the Music Study
Club for the Sylvia Simons
Scholarship Fund of that organi-
zation. A well-filled house en-
joyed a program that ranged
from Scarlatti and Bach through
Schumann, Debussy and Stravin-
sky, to Morton Gould's "Blues"
and "Boogie Woogie Etude," in-
cluding a group of graceful early
Irish selections.
To satisfy the enthusiastic ap-
proval of the audience, Miss Si-
dorsky encored with an Irish bit
followed by the extremely color-
ful "Suggestion Diabolique" of
Prokofieff.
Thoroughly master of the
pianoforte, Miss Sidorsky pos-
sesses a technique of true mas-
culinity, bringing out a full-
tonedrichness that is rare among
feminine pianists. Here is clean
piano playing that one can ad-
mire and enjoy. Miss Sidorsky
fully deserves the praise of East-
elm critics which preceeded her
appearance in Detroit. She is a
pianis• -of sufficient artistry to be
placed with the -great living
masters.
