Not since Jascha Heifetz made his famous debut in 1917 has any violinist made so sensational a debut as did this gifted young woman, who, in 1922, as- tonished the New York critics. Native of Russia Miss Hansen was born in a Cossack settlement, and heard her first music from military bands. While a native of Russia, her grandfather was a Dane, and it is from the Hansen family that she inherits her Norse name and her Scandinavian type of beauty. Russia, however, is this violinist's native land, and Russian is her native tongue. She began playing the violin at an early age. Her first teacher was Zukovsky, now a member of the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra. She continued her studies with Prof. Leopold Auer, win- | ning at the age of 16 first prize at the Petrograd Conservatory in 1914, where she was a classmate of Jascha Heifetz and Toscha Seidel. The war interrupted her plans, but after many hardships and vicissitudes she made a dramatic escape from Russia through 'the fog of the Baltic sea in a flimsy rowboat. In Finland, then, she made a triumphal debut, blazed a trail of brilliant recitals through Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Scan- dinavia, and now she has won the ac- claim of the American critics by her remarkable series of appearances in the United States. Plays "Like a Man" While Miss Hansen possesses great beauty, charm and a magnetic per- sonality, yet of her the critic say: "She plays like a man." It is upon this basis she is judged. Her tone ir individual, and tremendous power and purity. Technically she is an acknowl- edged master of her instrument--a famous Stradivarius once owned by Wilhelmj. Miss Hansen is one of the world's great violinists. It is as a worthy colleague of Heifetz and the rest that she deserves to be heard. !Her appearance in the north shore will be a notable event It is significant that in her first sea- son in America she was engaged for appearance with the Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, Detroit, New York Phil- harmonic, State Symphony and Metro- | politian Opera House orchestras, and |that the Chicago Symphony, the first | orchestra with which she played in | this country, re-engaged her for an- other pair of concerts within the same season--of itself a rare tribute.
