LITTLE SYMPHONY IN CONCERT NEXT MONDAY Marian Anderson, Talented Col- ored Contralto, to Be Soloist With Orchestra The New Trier Township Orchestral association announces the second con- cert of the seventh season of orchestral concerts by the Little Symphony or- chestra of Chicago, George Dasch, conductor, to be given Monday eve- ning, December 10, at 8:15 o'clock in the New Trier High school auditorium. The soloist for this concert will be Marian Anderson, gifted young colored contralto. Miss Anderson was born in Phila- At an early age she showed signs of a real contralto voice and the Peoples' Choral society of Philadelphia encouraged her to study. She was graduated from the Southern High school of Philadelphia at the age of eighteen and within a short time be- came the pupil of Guiseppe Boghetti, the New York and Philadelphia vocal teacher, who has taught and guided her ever since. Soloist With Symphony Her first big appearance was as solo- ist with the Philharmonic Symphony society of Philadelphia. This was followed by a song recital in Town Hall, New York, where such critics as W. J. Henderson called her voice one of the great contraltos of the day, and a recital at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, when she again scored a suc- cess with both public and press. In 1925 Miss Anderson entered the New York Stadium contest and from three hundred singers from all parts of the country, she was chosen to sing with the New York Philharmonic orchestra at the Lewisohn stadium. Since then she has sung throughout the country and is everywhere acclaimed as the possessor of one of the great contralto voices of this generation.
