On Thursday evening at 8:00
p.m. Jan. 11, 1962 in the Na
tional Guard Armory, The Cur
tis String Quartet will be heard
in a performance of chamber
music.
The Curtis String Quartet is
composed of two Violinists, a
Violist, and a Cellist who are
resident teachers at Curtis In
stitute in Philadelphia and Phil
adelphia’s New School of Mu
sic.
The Curtis Quartet is one of
the oldest String Quartets in
musical history and has for
over 30 years reflected this
country’s extreme interest in
chamber music.
The term “Chamber music”
originally meant that type of
music which was best perform
ed in the drawing room or pri
vate chambers of a person of
high standing. In modern times,
however, it has come to em
brace types of music of a more
intimate nature capable of be
ing performed in a small-sized
hall either private or public.
Chamber music is instrumen
tal ensemble music which is
performed by one player for
each part. In true chamber mu
sic the emphasis lies on the en
semble, and not on individual
players.
The two violinists are Jascha
Brodsky and Mehli Mehta, both
of who completed notable Eu
ropean tours before coming to
the USA and joining their pres
ent colleagues at the Curtis In
stitute. Mehta also organized
and directed the Bombay Sym
phony and Chamber Music So
cieties before coming to the
Institute.
Max Arnoff, violist, is the
founder-director of the New
School of Music in Philadelphia
and has produced many of the
country’s outstanding violists.
Cellist Orlando Cole graduat
ed from the Curtis Institute
and is now a faculty member
there. He has done a great deal
of solo work with orchestras
both in the USA and Canada.
The string quartet is the
chief type of chamber music
because it “always says what
is necessary, and never too
much.”
The present day repertory
for string quartets begins with
the "father” of the string quar
tet, Haydn (written between
1780 and 1790). and those works
by Mozart of the same decade.
The Quartet has brought
forth the highest praises from
American and European critics,
in unity of thought, tonal blend
ing and technique.
Lionel Tertis, dean of British
string players writes:
“Recalling the many quartets
I have heard, I give the palm
to the Curtis String Quartet.
They have achieved the ideal.”
The Curtis String Quartet re
cords for Westminster Records.
to
elected by their classmates to
appear in “Who’s Who in Am
erican Universities and Col
leges.”
No small honor, this is one
of the highest positions a stu
dent could hope to attain. Sen
iors and juniors are eligible
for this distinction, and are
elected by vote of the student
body.
Although this is the first
academic year for St. Andrews,
lome very outstanding students
ire on campus, and were reco-
'i.nized as such in this recent
election. Fourteen students were
deemed worthy of being list
ed in “Who’s Who”.
This is not only a means of
recognizing our better students
but it is also a means of
saying tihank you to these in
dividuals for their tireless ef
forts to make their school the
best possible.
Dr. Price H. Gwynn, Dean
of Faculty, will conduct the
program.
