CONCERT
On November 5, 1957 at 11:40 A.M. in
Sisters Chapel, Miss Blanche Eurton played
several selections v y Schumann, Paganini,
Liszt, and Chopin. This was indeed a rare
treat be-ause Miss Burton is a brilliant
pianist who played with the New York Phil
harmonic Orchestra at the age of thirteen.
We hope that we will have the opportunity
to hear Miss Burton again soon.
