At the January meeting of the Womens Music Club held last night at the Hotel Charlottetown. the members and their guests en- joyed a splendid recital by Mm Elaine Burns pianist.

Miss Burns, of the staff of the Halifax Conservatory oi’ Music, l5 a brilliant young artist who l; rapidly becoming widely known by her radio and concert work,

Her well chosen programme was

ideally re ntative oi music from the e gbiteenth cent to the present day including f us; old masters —the favourites Beethoven and Chopin, and less well known works of the Italian Scarlatti. With the more descriptive mod- erns. MacDowell and Scott, Miss Burns was perhaps at her most appealing. Her interpretive power and command of the keyboard were particularly evident in the modern group, Miss Burns’ encores-Swinsteads "To the Moon." Schubert's "Im- promptu" and Scherzo in B Fiat. and Griegts enchanting "Puck" were also beautiful; played and an additional joy which the large audience appreciated to the full. Following is Miss Burns’ oun- plete programme.
