THREE RUSSIAN INSTRUMENTALISTS

THE OHERNTAVSKYS. Leo, Jan, and Mischcl Cherniavsky are the sons of Abraham Cherniavsky, an eminent Russian violinist and conductor. For seventeen years these brothers have tra- j veiled together, giving. concerts through- . out Russia, England, France, United ; States, Canada. Australia, New Zealand, | South Africa, India, China, Burma, Cey- \ lon, Egypt, etc., and so great has been their success that return visits have been paid to most of the.se countries, thus establishing records yet to be surpassed by any artist.° In musical circles it is often a matter of interesting discussion as to what are the essential points that go to make up a really fine trio of musicians. Tho most ; important quality is sympathy. Tho indi- ! vidual players need to bo in complete ac- 1 cord, not only as musicians, but in all their relations with one another. Tho second essential quality is ensemble, or unity of idea and expression during interpretation. This can only ba attained by years of study and practice together. Sympathy and ensemble thus being the most important factors in really great trioplaying, it is easy to understand how the Cherniavskys are waht they are to-day. Brought up side by side, taught that what belongs to one belongs to each of them, playing together not only trios but solos, accompanied by each other for the last fourteen years—all these factors, joined to their phenomenal native talent, have combined to produce three of the most brilliant j exponents of trio-playing in tho world today.

I’he Chcxniavsky trio will appear in His Majesty’s Theatre'on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings of next week under the' direction of J. and N. Tail. The plans open at The Bristol on Wednesday. Students’ booking concessions for the first and third concerts are announced.
