Peterson Closes Season in Bisbee, Ariz.
Bisbee, Ariz., May 18.—May Peterson closed the musical season here recently with a program that delighted a large and enthusiastic audience. The program was well arranged and gave the singer wide scope in which to display her lovely voice and polished style of singing. According to the Daily Review: “Peterson captivated her audience with the introducing bars of her opening Mozart selection and she held her hearers enthralled until the closing notes of her homage to spring had echoed into silence. Several of of the numbers were familiar to her critical listeners, but her rendition made them seem as new. Her voice, heightened by true natural diction and emotional warmth, was flawless. As an artist, she is sincere almost to a fault, with a humanness that makes for the perfect recital and a no less perfect evening for the audience.”	G. P.

The thirty-seventh annual summer session and master school of the American Conservatory of Music of Chicago, of which John J. Hattstaedt is president, will begin this year on June 25 and close August 4. The faculty of the conservatory, which is one of the strongest to be found anywhere, has been re-enforced for the summer session by such instructors as Josef Lhevinne, Delia Valeri, William S. Brady and George H. Gartlan. The summer school of the American Conservatory has achieved a nation-wide reputation, scores of students and teachers from all sections of the country making up a great part of its regular attendance.
Josef Lhevinne.
An outstanding feature of the summer session of 1923 is the fourth consecutive engagement of this great artist and instructor to conduct master classes in the piano department.
A biography of Lhe-vinne’s career is unnecessary, as all the readers of this paper have long recognized in him an international figure in the musical world. Mr. Lhevinne’s c la s s e s during the past three seasons have ׳been attended by the flower of America’s younger talent, including all professional pianists, teachers and advanced students from all parts of the country, Canada and Mexico, who have eagerly embraced this unique opportunity to place themselves under the guidance of a great master. Mr. Lhevinne will give private instruction and conduct repertory teachers’ classes. Teachers and students who are unable to engage either private or repertory class lessons may join the auditors’ class.
William S. Brady.
The extraordinary success scored last season by William S. Brady induced the management to secure the services of this master of the voice again for the coming session at the American Conservatory. Mr. Brady’s career in New York City has been a great success, as many of his pupils are to be found at the head of their profession, either in opera o r concert. M r .
Brady will- again give private instruction and also repertory classes. His classes in Chicago last season attracted many leading singers and teachers from every section of the country. As last year, in the repertory teachers’ class, subjects which enter	WILLIAM BRADY
vitally into the work
of both the teacher and singer will be discussed. Among these are the following: breath control, voice production, diction, phrasing, expression and interpretation, analysis of voices, teaching material, etc. Mr. Brady is a strong believer in the ability of young American singers to succeed in all fields of the art.
Delia Valeri.
The American Conservatory has good reason to feel
elated to have secured as guest instructor Delia Valeri, an artist so universally admired that her engagement at this Chicago school reflects credit on that institution. The celebrities who have placed themselves under her guidance and grate-fully acknowledge the remarkable results of her work are numerous. A special Valeri circular will be mailed by the management of the American Conservatory of Music on DELIA VALERI	application. Like
Lhevinne, Mme. Valeri will give private instruction and conduct a repertory-teachers’ class.
George H. Gartlan.
Director of public school music in the City of New York, eminent as an instructor and educator, recognized as an authority on all subjects pertaining to public school musk, is George H. Gartlan, who has again been secured by the American Conservatory to deliver a series of sixty lectures specially designed for supervisors. While any member of the class in public school music may attend, _ it might be stated that the subjects discussed will be specially adapted
