92MUSICAL COURIER
93CLEVELAND, OHIO
94CLEVELAND, OHIO.—The three opening concerts of the fall season gave opportunity to musicians with local backgrounds to shine, beginning with the choir of St. Theodosius' Greek Catholic Church, which gave a novel and interesting concert at the Museum of Art on October 12. This choir, entirely composed of Russians, sang a program of liturgical music under the capable leadership of the Rev. J. Vorobieff, and topped it off with a group of Russian folk songs, sung with true Slavic fervor. It was a musicianly and finely tempered program throughout, much enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic audience.
96On October 14, in the assembly hall of the Cleveland Institute of Music, Marcel Salzinger, new head of the voice department of the Institute, gave his first public recital in Cleveland. Mr. Salzinger, who comes to the city from the opera houses of European capitals, seems to be one of the most important influences we have had in local musical enterprises since Ernest Bloch left. He is a true artist, possessed of a rich and resonant baritone which he uses with the utmost judgment and feeling, and as a program maker he ranks high. His selections for his introductory recital to Clevelanders included an old Italian air by Vivaldi, a Donizetti aria, and songs by Brahms, Richard Strauss, Saint-Saens, Bemberg, Rachmaninoff and Respighi, all of which were done with a vigor and freshness that convinced his hearers that a superlative artist had come into their midst.
98On the same evening, young Herman Rosen, violinist, formerly of Cleveland, came back to his native city to give a recital in the ballroom of the Allerton Hotel. Mr. Rosen has spent the past few years studying with Leopold Auer and has made rapid strides in that time. His big number was a Tchaikowsky concerto, played with facile brilliance, and a Vitali Chaconne. Numbers by Beatrice Vokoun Mutchler, Charles V. Rychlik, and the artist himself were interesting bits of lighter music. Leon Machan accompanied the talented Mr. Rosen in splendid style.
100Mme. Lydia Kniagevitch entertained an enthusiastic group of listeners in the lecture room of the Museum of Art on October 21, with a lecture-recital of Russian music—a thing she does extremely well. Not the modern composers of her homeland but the more classical writers were discussed, and some of their unfamiliar works were played by the lecturer.
102First of the concerts to be presented by the Chamber Music Society of Cleveland took place in the ballroom of Wade Park Manor on October 24, with the Cleveland Trio officiating. This ensemble, made up of Beryl Rubinstein, piano; Andre de Ribaupierre, violin, and Victor de Gomez, cello (all of them members of the faculty of the Institute of Music), played a program that included the Haydn trio in G major, the Brahms C minor trio and Three Nocturnes by Ernest Bloch—Andante, Andante Quiet, and Tempestuoso. The last named were new to Clevelanders, and were a bit difficult to grasp at first hearing. Nevertheless, the audience listened with rapt interest and answered with generous applause.

106SECOND ANNUAL MUSIC WEEK A SUCCESS IN CLEVELAND
107The second annual Music Week, known locally as the Fall Festival of Music, was celebrated here during the week of October 30. On October 30, activities began with special programs in the churches, under the supervision of Ralph Everett Sapp, and in the afternoon the Cleveland Orchestra, under the leadership of Rudolph Ringwall, assistant conductor, gave the first of its "Pop" concerts at Masonic Hall, with Jascha Veissi, violinist, as soloist. October 31 was Community Day, in which the schools and settlement houses had their music programs. Edith Louise Pratt was in charge of this phase of the work. There was also open house at the rooms of the Cleveland Musical Association, 819 Hickox Building.
109The Fortnightly Club gave a concert at Hotel Statler on November 1, with Franklyn Carnahan, pianist, appearing as soloist. In the evening there were special Music Week programs from radio stations WTAM, WHK and WJAY, under the direction of H. K. Carpenter. The children's concert on November 2, at the Cleveland Heights High School auditorium, was led by Arthur Shepherd. That night there was a gala concert in Public Hall, with a massed chorus of 500, made up of members of the Singers' Club and the Orpheus Male Choir and led by Charles Dawe, leader of the latter organization. Sol Marcossen was responsible for this concert.
111November 3 was Hospital Day, when the inmates of all Cleveland hospitals were provided with musical programs, under the direction of Mrs. Alice Bradley. The Cleveland Orchestra's concert that night, in Masonic Hall, under the baton of Nikolai Sokoloff, offered Paul Kochanski, violinist, as soloist. The big evening of the week came on November 4, when the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, under Willem Mengelberg, played in Public Hall. The last day, November 5, was devoted to promoting special programs in the stores, and the Cleveland Institute of Music held open house.
113Officers in charge of the activities during the week were Victor W. Sincere, president; Dr. H. U. Maxwell, managing director, and Mrs. Augusta Bartlett, secretary. E. C.
115CLEVELAND INSTITUTE NOTES
116The opening of the orchestra department of the Cleveland Institute of Music was delayed beyond the beginning of the regular school term because Andre de Ribaupierre, director, waited until the assemblage of the Cleveland Symphony orchestra in October to complete his staff with orchestra members. However, according to Mrs. Franklyn B. Sanders, school director, great interest is being shown in the orchestra's activities.
118The personnel of the department remains for the most part the same as last year, with regular Institute faculty, supplemented by orchestra members offering instruction in viola, cello, drums, tympani, bassoon, trombone, trumpet, horns, double bass and oboe, and all other orchestral instruments. Special emphasis is placed upon the woodwind and percussion instruments. Both Mrs. Sanders and Mr. De Ribaupierre feel that the vacancies left in American orchestras by the restriction of immigration and consequently of French and German players, should be filled by the American music schools. Orchestra students are given not only theoretical training, but also actual, practical experience in the senior and junior orchestras of the school, conducted by de Ribaupierre. Students play in company with their instructors, including the Cleveland orchestra members, in the senior group which serves as a workshop or laboratory. They are even given opportunity to direct. Victor de Gomez, leader of the cello section of the Cleveland Orchestra, as well as head of the Institute cello department, is one of the prominent members of the Institute faculty. Carlton Cooley, leader of the orchestra viola section, and director of viola at the Institute, teaches violin and viola. Josef Fuchs, member of the Institute violin department and concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra, has taken his place in the orchestra department.
120Charlotte Demuth Williams and Edward Buck are among the regular members of the Institute faculty who figure importantly in the orchestra faculty. Others included are Marie Martin, Lois Brown Porter and Margaret Wright. Among the players from the symphony orchestra who have become instructors in the department are Constant Omers, Charles Kayser, J. Leon Ruddick, Harry F. Clarke, Albert Andraud, Weyert Moore and William de Boucher.
122Reception for Kussevitzky
123The Boston Symphony Orchestra played to a packed house at Victory Theater, Dayton, O., on November 6. A brilliant reception was given by Mrs. H. E. Talbott at Runymere, the Talbott residence, after the concert, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Sergei Kussevitzky, Manager Judd, and the orchestra.
125Sullivan Pupil Engaged
126William Troeber, of West Orange, N. J., who is studying voice with Dr. Sullivan, has been engaged as baritone soloist of the Forest Hills Presbyterian Church after less than a year of study.
128ANDRE DE RIBAUPIERRE,
129violinist, head of the violin faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music.
