THE CHERNIAVSKYS.

Naturally the C'bemiavskys were delighted to become British subjects, because they had grown up, as it were, with, the oversea dominions of (he British Empire. They felt that their life wa s one life, and it was always a great joy to them to visit any part of the Empire. 1 hey always felt foreigners in other countries, and when they tallced of Horne they thought—-and felt—London. These young artists are to .appear in concerts here on Wednesday next in Burns Hall. in every city in which these musicians have appeared the critical fraternity has awarded them mus : cal honours, and they seem to have wandered into many lands throughout the civilised world. They -have toured Africa three limes, New Zealand three times, Australia and China twice, and once in Japan and India, and in addition they have appeared in nearly all the principal cities of Europe and .South America. The Toronto World of November 15 tersely sums up the Cherninvsky Trio’s musical abilities, and establishes their claim for consideration:—“lhese three Russians C roved themselves artist of foremost rank, rillinnt solists, and superb ensemble players. Among the concerted numbers were a group of three favourite melodies specially arranged for a trio performance, and Brahm’s “.Slave Dance’’ was one of the three. It, was played with a surprising bigness and sonority of tone, The violinist, ’cellist, and pianist wore playing each for all and all for each.”
