Sr. David Sequeira y. Bermudez, of Madrid, the famous composer and pianist, will give a recital and lecture in English on Spanish music Monday evening at 8 o'clock in Phillips Brooks House. The recital is under the auspices of the Circulo Espanol and will be open to all members of the University. The program will be the same that has been given at Fontaineblean and before the royal family at Madrid.
Sr. Sequeira is well known as a pianist and composer, having been recently awarded the Cross of Charles III by King Alfonso of Spain for his original compositions.
