concert this year of the series sponsored by the local canadian concert association local people may know marg aret heap more familiarly as peggy sangster wife of well- known cbc writer allan sang ster peggy and her brother have been teamed together only in the last few years but al ready they show the mastery that is needed when four hands must work together as one the repertoire of these two youthful performers was a de manding one technically with the exception of bachs chorale jesu joy of mans desiring and the khatchachurian lull aby the numbers seemed to be of herculean difficulty the mas sive bach fantasia and fugue was a powerful and impressive work it is much to the credit of the heaps that they carried through these numbers with clarity and precision at times their phrasing and control seem ed to imply a sixth sense per haps not an unnatural faculty for a brother and sister team it is good to hear canadian composers in these concert series healy willans theme and variations written in 1913 was a fascinating study in moods and quite modern enough even by our standards kauf- manns arabesques written especially for the heaps was a fine tone poem on an eastern motif perhaps some of the heavier numbers could have been sacri ficed for a few lighter ones are we being too romantic in wish ing to hear dance macabre or malaguena or even come to the fair after all we rural folk cling pretty closely to mel ody but that is a mere matter of programming surely we could not help but be impressed by the dash and vigour of these two young artists we wish them the best of success in
