The critic for the Winnipeg

Rosa Balsa and declared that
"she has admirable technique and
control and is able to project defi-

through simplicity in style and
manner." •
In Regina?, the Leader-Post
stated that Mrs. Schaver's "voice
was pure and full, with plenty of
dramatic fire and intensity. Her
warmth of expression had a fine
interpretive appeal."
Mrs. Schaver was especially
cheered for her interpretation of
Kol Nidre, in the singing of
which she accompanies herself.

National Federation of Music
at Masonic Temple

Clubs will be held in New York
City in the spring of 1945. These
contests are conducted in the be-
lief that youthful musical talent
in the Americas is equivalent to
that of young artists in any part
of the world, and that enthusi-
astic promotion and patronage
should be given to native talent.
Contests are held in the vari-
ous fields of musical endeavor
and contestants must first pass
district and state auditions be-
fore being eligible for national
selection. They must furnish
proof of their American citizen-
ship, must show intention of fol-
lowing music as a career, must
be between the ages of 18 and
30 and must submit a $10 fee
with applications. Winners in
each of the auditions are obli-
gated to proceed to the next
audition.
Three cash prizes of $1,000
each will be presented by the
Federation to the winner of the
first place in piano, violin and
voice. Former national winners
are not eligible to compete again.
Mrs. J. S. Sauls, state chair-
man of auditions, is in charge of
all arrangements for the state
contest which covers the three
classifications.
