She was Marjorie Edwards, 13, of San Jose, Calif., who traveled East for the first time last summer to play at the Berkshire Festival. This time she was back to face the test of a more formal...

At 12, she sang Azucena in 77 Trovatore, a performance in which her father...

Casella is an Italian-one of the few important modernists of that country. A most gifted musician, he has made many tours in America, and only last year gave an interesting concert in Sanders Theatre. His music is conservative, polished, and in its interpretation truly national...
