SYLVIA NELIS (soprano)
LEONARD ISAACS (pianoforte) Leonard Isaacs, who was bom atManchester, is twenty-six years of age.
He entered the Royal College of Music in 1925 and studied the piano under Herbert Fryer. Then he went to Paris to study with Cortot and later to
Berlin under Egon Petri. In 1931, Mr. Isaacs secured an engagement with a light opera company, with whom he was stranded in Vancouver. However, he managed to join a touring pantomime company, which became the means of his returning to London after six months' vicissitudes.
The spring of 1932 saw him with a 'cellist friend touring the English countryside in a donkey-cart giving recitals of classical music in the high streets of towns they passed through, and later at schools and village recreation halls.
A couple of successful recitals in London resulted in Mr. Isaacs appearing as a soloist in Birmingham, Manchester, and other leading provincial cities. In 1933 he played for the Amitié Internationale in Paris.
