MISS OH AMBERS PRESENTS
OUTSTNDING CONCERT
iby Edith R. Latta
Despite cold, icy winds and
the fact that Thanksgiving
plans occupied many people,
the Sheldon Jackson Junior
College auditorium was comfor
tably filled at the Wednesday
evening concert when the Al
aska Music Trail presented
Madelaine Chambers, the young
lyric coloratura soprano.
Combining the old and the
new, her program featured op
eratic arias from Handel, Mo
zart. Puccini, Donizetti, Bizet
and Massenet; the lovely Art
Songs of Schubert and a closing
group from more modern com
posers including Copland, Kra
mer, Wolf, Thaver and Carey.
Prefacing her operatic arias
with descriptions of the setting
from which they were taken,
the artist exhibited her drama
tic talents as well as her vocal
accomplishments. So much so
was this true that, watching
her fecial expressions and lis
tening to her lovely voice, one
could almost imagine they were
witnessing the scene from a
performance of the opera. Es
pecially was this true as Miss
Chambers captivated her aud
ience with her rendition of Ca
vatina and Aria of Norina from
“Don OPasquale” by Donizetti.
Norina is a vivacious young
widow who, while reading a
love story, is fully aware of the
fact that she has known and us
ed all the wiles of capturing
men’s hearts. This number clear
lv showed the control and wide
voice range of the singer, as it
climaxed on a high note follow
ing a thrilling trill.
I; was very clear that Made
la ine Chambers’ first love is
the opera, but whether she
was assuming the role of pa
thetic Mimi -from Puccini’s
“La Boheme” or presenting the
light, playful “Jack in the
Box’’ by Daniel Wolf, the pro
nsr mood was always convinc
ing.
Gracious and generous with
her encores. Miss Chambers
entertained and amused her j
audience with the capricious j
Laughing Song from “Die Fie- j
dermaus” by Sfrauss, “Grand- ;
ma Grunts” an old mountain
song from North Carolina and
“Kiss Me Again” from the

The clean tones from tihe pi
ano which Ralph Linsley pro
duced in his precise accompan
fluents greatly added to the
enjoyment of the evening. Tru
ly our concert artists have
been fortunate in fine accom
panists who, although their
pianistic talent is very evident
always 'give the utmost sup
port in keeping the artist of
the evening in the limelight.
To this, Ralph Linsley was no
exception.
When the Alaskan concert
tour is ended. Miss Chambers
will immediately return to
New York for a concert early
in December, followed by her
role in “The Magic Flute” a
-Singspiel by Mozart, an opera
which has long been regarded
as “an achievement in confu
sion and a handicap to Moz
art’s maigniificent score.”
We feel sure that this forth
coming role presents a special
happy challenge to the artist
whom we have enjoyed and
Sitka’s best wishes go with
her.
A corporate communipn at
St. Peter’s iby the Sea is to be
held at 9 a. an. St. Andrew’s
Day. Wednesday.
At this time, the United
Thank Offering .will be pre
sented. Following the service,
breakfast will be served at the
