The Coffee Concerts continue to how luminous vastly varied musical possibilities of the small ensemble, and the really extraordinary freshness and beauty of many of the less-known works for the more unusual instrumental combinations. Mr.

Hollander and his associates from the Kansas City Symphony have dedicated themselves to the proposition that be- fween the string quartet and the symphony orchestra there lies a neglected musical domain eminently worthy of exploration and exploitation. And every phase of their re-discovery has brought new delights to those who attend the concerts in the Emporia State Student Union Ballroom. Monday night, in the second offering of the second season, the fare was a Haydn Quartet, almost the last and one of the noblest, the "Largo" Op. 76, No. a Beethoven String Trio, one of the earliest and a remarkable excursion into the expressive possibilities of the lighter combination, Op.

9, No. 1, in and, as the most startling innovation, Salnt- Saens' rousing Septet In E-flat, Op. 65, for the improbable but highly impressive instrumentation of strings (including double bass), trumpet, and piano. It would have been generous and savory fare even without the coffee and cakes that are served at intermission. Of the quartet, composed of the Symphony's first-chair players, it need only be said that they are evolving an ensemble of the very first merit, one that exhibits a more sensitive rapport and a more flawless unanimity of style with each appearance.

The elegance and splendid elan of Mr. Klausner's leadership are priceless ingredients, and he is ably seconded in all matters of virtuosity and the vital niceties of insight and outgiving by Hugh Brown, second violin. Lucinda Gladics, viola, and Norman Hollander, cello. The tone quality has both purity and opulence; Mr. Klausner's silver and Mr.

Hollander's gold are resplendent in a blending of sound that has no base metal whatever. The result in the lovely Haydn quartet was both a shining lightness and sheen in the outside movements and a luscious sonority In the broad largo that gives the work its name the right, and rare, requisites for this Haydn masterpiece. The violin, viola, and cello of the Beethoven Trio produced lighter texture, In both structure and sound, than does a quartet, but there were large rewards in transparency, delicacy, and sheer ingenuity of design. Actually, the three threads often sounded like four (or and the clear, exposed interweaving of each part was a delight to the ear, even though the demands on the players were so because they were so exactly met. The Saint-Saens work is of a wholly different order richly ornate, direct, descriptive, and spread in primary rather than pastel tones, thanks to the vigor of the added piano, double bass and trumpet.

Miss Patricia Lis- gave a strong and assured account of Salnt-Saens' typically showy piano score, and her playing gave a vital impetus to the ensemble. Mr. Nat Greenburg's bass bolstered the small-orchestra effect of the tuttis, and Mr. Tom Lovitt's trumpet was beautifully blended, with an almost horn-like breadth and sonority, into the string tone. The effect was a striking edging of reasonance that might have been even more boldly outlined at times.

Mr. Lovitt's burnished tone is not one to become brassy at any level and after all, the composer wrote this unusual work for a trumpet society in Paris! The work was so heartily applauded that for the first time in the Coffee Concerts an encore was replaying of the captivating C. 0. Lenten Supper at First Presbyterian Thursday Night The first in a series of Lenten suppers and programs for the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church is to be held Thursday, beginning at 6:30 p. m.
