MARY TRIS, Pianiste
MISS TRIS is a brilliant young Chicago pianist—a pupil and graduate of the late William Sherwood.  At her professional debut some years ago she played the Godard Concerto, and both in that work and in many other appearances has proven herself a pianist of splendid charm.

She joined the faculty of the Sherwood Music School of Chicago, Illinois, later on entering the concert field.

Gifted with an abundance of temperament, her technic is by no means mere mechanical skill, but is a means to the production of marvelous tonal and rhythmical effects.



PRESS COMMENTS

Miss Mary Tris, a former Sherwood pupil, who has been in the concert field for several years, plays with great vigor and virility, while at the same time she has full control of softer graces and mellowness of tonal quality.  The 'Cello Etude of Chopin was given a thoroughly poetic reading at her hands; the Nocturne, Op. 3, No. 2, was made silvery sweet and musically pure, while the Schytte Sonata, Op. 53, was the medium through which she easily proved herself mistress of bravoura technic and dramatic effectiveness.  This Sonata is a work of the greatest size and importance.  It requires every kind of technic for its proper presentment and it is built along such broad lines of musical thought that its interpretation requires experienced prowess of the most pronounced order.  Miss Tris made its First Movement broadly dignified and clearly musical, its Second Movement was a veritable song without words, and in its Finale she poured out a wealth of passion and a distinctiveness of style which completely captivated her listeners.—

Mlle.   Tris, who acted as a most sympathetic accompanist throughout, also gave excellent account of herself in the Schubert-Tausig Marche Militaire.  She has a breezy touch, swift and light, yet also masculine in emphasis.  The personality was most pleasing.—
Kansas City Journal, Kansas City, Mo.



The piano solo, the stirring, martial composition by Schubert-Tausig, Marche Militaire, which is at once one of the most popular of great masterpieces and most difficult of execution.  Mary Tris proved in playing this March that she is qualified to rank among the best pianists.  Miss Tris graciously played a beautiful encore selection.  Her work as an accompanist was at all times remarkable.  She played brilliantly, yet always worked in sympathy with the artist whom she accompanied.—
Ashland Times-Gazette, Ashland, Ohio.

Mascoutah Herald, Mascoutah, Illinois.


It is possible to be a brilliant pianist without being a successful teacher, but Miss Tris has both accomplishments, a sure guarantee of a successful career in her chosen profession.  Miss Tris is a former pupil of Frances Wyman and under her skillful tutelage developed remarkable ability as a pianist.  Later she graduated from the Sherwood Music School and although only twenty years of age, joins the faculty with a splendid record as a teacher.  Miss Tris is well known to our music-loving citizens, having appeared at various times since she was six years of age.  They rejoice in her achievements and wish for her a successful career.—

The Allegro brioso from the Sonata in B flat by Schytte opened easily and was exceptionally well developed.  Miss Tris won the admiration of her audience.  Her graceful and easy touch, combining with an ardent love for her instrument, an interpretation ever bordering on the romantic, touched with a delightful sadness, combined with qualities of head and heart to make the piano music enjoyable.—
Taylor Daily Press, Taylor, Texas.


If Mary Tris had appeared in the piano solo only, with the dainty and melodious encore by Nevin, she would have charmed and convinced the entire audience of her high attainment, the beautiful touch, clear, strong technique and interpretive power, but when in addition to those one considers the exquisite accompaniments with which she supported and enhanced the beauty of the entire program, then indeed does she merit the highest praise for her true musicianship.  Solo artists are indeed fortunate in such accompanying.—
Nampa Leader-Herald, Nampa, Idaho.


The pianist, Miss Tris, is one of the very best ever heard here.  Her strength in execution, her careful attention to technique, her sympathetic understanding of her author's theme and lastly, the real brilliance of her performance instantly won her the appreciation of her audience as it proved her capability.  The Allegro brioso from the Sonata in B flat by Ludwig Schytte was artistic and entirely pleasing as also were all of her accompaniments, her technical skill showing in all its glory in two extremely difficult violin numbers—
Evening Record, Ellensburg, Washington.


Miss Tris is thoroughly competent in the difficult role of accompanist.—
Tribune, Pendleton, Oregon.


Miss Tris, the pianist, is an artist of true worth in her work.  Her technique is of a high order to which it may be said fairly that her interpretation was of real musical expression.  Miss Tris is an extremely young woman to have attained so masterly and superb interpretation of the piano.—
