1MUSICAL COURIER
3NEW YORK STRING QUARTET.
4from an unfinished portrait by the late Walter Goldbeck. At its New York recital at the Town Hall on the evening of December 18, this group of sterling musicians will play the Dvorak quartet in A flat major, op. 105; the Dittersdorf quartet in E flat major, and Ravel's quartet in F major. The first two of these works have been very rarely performed in America, but are outstanding examples of the style of their respective composers. The personnel of the New York String Quartet includes: Ottakar Cadek, first violin; Jaroslav Siskovsky, second violin; Ludvik Schwab, viola, and Bedrich Vaska, cello

10who recently began a tour of the East with a recital in Philadelphia. The soprano was well received both by her audience and the critics. "Her tones retain a purity and sweetness in both high and low notes," "she sings squarely on a tone," "she is gifted with a notably clear, sweet voice." These were but a few of the tributes paid to Miss Mar by the critics on this occasion. (Photo © Underwood & Underwood)
