Janice Harsanyi to Give Her First
Recital in Philadelphia
Janice Barsanyi, soprano, will give her first recital in Philadelphia with the
assistance of Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts on Friday evening, December 2nd, at 8:30.
She is, however, no newcomer to our city as she has appeared as soloist with
the Philadelphia Orchestra~ Eugene Ormandy conducting, on several occasions. Her
debut was made with this group in October 1958 singing "les Illuminations" by
Benjamin Britten; in April 1959 she sang in "The Damnation of Faustll by Berlioz;
and in April 1960 in "Ca.rmina Burana" by Orff, recording the latter work with the
group. In May 1961 she will solo with them in their annual M:l.y Festival in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. Mrs. Harsanyi has been soloist with the Symphony of the Air conducted by
leopold Stokowski; and the National Symphony under Howard Mitchell, among others.
Mrs. Harsanyi, a native American, is a graduate of the Westminster Choir College,
where she was a member of the faculty until 1958, and lives in Princeton where her
husband, Nicholas Harsanyi is conductor of the Princeton Symphony, in addition to
his directing the Trenton Symphony.
Her program at the Pennsylvania Academy will include works by Purcell, Handel,
Mozart; Vier ernste Gesange by Brahms; and Chansons M:l.decasses by Ravel (a first
public performance in Philadelphia). In the Ravel work she will have the assistance
also of Susan MOrris, flute; and Robert Newkirk, cello. The concert will close with
works by Britten, Vaughan-Williams, GershWin, and Creston.
Comments about Mrs. Harsanyi's work:
"Superb singing; it is difficult to imagine better." - Phila. Bulletin
"Superb performance •• exceptional vocal technique. 1I - Phila. Inquirer
IIExquisite - agreeable in sound, sensitive in conception." - New York Times
Mr. Sokoloff is in the midst of his eleventh year as music director of this
series, which the Academy makes free to the public through the collaboration of the
Fredric R. M:l.nn Foundation, and the Recording Industries' Trust Funds.

Academy's faculty - actually 19 one-man shows - painting, sculpture and prints.
These events are made free to the public by the Academy through the collaboration
of the Recording Industries' Trust Funds, and the Fredric R. Mann Foundation.
There will be three other programs in the 1960-61 series:
January 21, and March 11.

Pennsylvania Academy's l55th Annual Exhibition Contemporary American Oil Painting and Sculpture
With a change in the order of things for the oldest annual art exhibition in the
country, the l55th Annual Exhibition of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
will open to the public on Sunday, January 24th, at 1 o'clock, after first having
been shown at The Detroit Institute of Arts, where it was known as their Second
Biennial of American Painting and Sculpture. A subscription dinner for over 300
members and their guests preceded the private view in Philadelphia last night, the
latter attended by between 1500 and 2000 persons.
Two years ago, for the first time in its history, the Academy had a collaborator in
presenting one of its annual shows. Then, too, it was the Detroit Institute. At
that time, however, the showing there followed its premiere at the Pennsylvania
Academy.
According to Academy Director, Joseph T. Fraser, Jr., these exhibitions are today
the only national surveys of contemporary American painting and sculpture which are
selected by, and represent the point of view of, the artists themselves • All others
are chosen by critics or museum curators. As in other years, this exhibition is
part-juried and part-invited, and this time was assembled by the following artists:
Henry Varnum Poor (chairman), William Kienbusch, and Sigmund Menkes, for pa.inti~;
William Zorach (chairman), Se;ymour Lipton, and Henry Rox, for sculpture.
There are 393 works in the exhibition - 253 paintings, 140 pieces of sculpture 40% of which came through invitation; 60% by jury selection.
2967 items were
submitted to the juries which met in Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York City.
Artists from 30 states in all sections of the country are re~resented.
Prizes were awarded as follows:
!
Temple Gold Medal - to Lee Gatch, lambertville, N. J., for Fish Market, and for
his distinguished contribution to American Painting.
George D. Widener Memorial Gold Medal - Lee Bontecou, New York City, for .Bird
