Festival Quartet Plays Here January 15th
Southwestern Jewish Press, December 27, 1957, Page 5
When the Festival Quartet plays in San Diego, Wednesday, January 15 at Russ Auditorium, the audience will have the privilege of hearing four top-flight solo artists who have joined in chamber music for the sheer love of it.
Associated closely in the summer activities at Aspen, Colorado where they were performers and members of the faculty of the Aspen Festival, these famous musicians decided to carry on into the winter season, and form the first all-star piano quartet since Harold Bauer’s famed group.
Victor Babin is the quartet’s pianist. Born in Russia, he made his fame in Europe and later in America as the “Husband” half of the two-piano team, Vronsky and Babin. His compositions are also widely known.
Szymon Goldberg, the distinguished violinist, has played concerts all over the world. Goldberg also conducts the new Netherlands Chamber Orchestra.
William Primrose, Scottish born, was a violin prodigy before he turned to his real love, the viola. It is said that Primrose finds enormous satisfaction in ensemble playing, although he is celebrated as the world’s greatest exponent of the solo viola and has done much to enrich its repertoire by commissioning new works.
Nikolai Graudan, cellist, and his wife, Joanna, make up the only cello and piano team professionally before the public. Their tours have taken them all over the world.
The Festival Quartet’s appearance in San Diego is the second event on the current Famous Artists Series, sponsored by Lucille J. Palmer. Tickets for the performance are available at the Palmer Box Office, 640 Broadway.

March of Dimes Coin Envelopes in Mails
Southwestern Jewish Press, December 27, 1957, Page 6
More than 240,000 March of Dimes fund appeals have been mailed to San Diego County residents as the annual polio drive swings into high gear. Mrs. Beth Bennett, county campaign chairman, announced today.
Mrs. Bennett said more than 300 volunteers had given freely of their time in preparing the mailers for delivery. Mrs. A.J. Bard and Mrs. Robert B. Barth directed the mammoth undertaking which required several months of work.
Although the Salk vaccine has made tremendous inroads in stamping out polio, funds are urgently needed to continue patient care for the 519 polio victims in San Diego County, Mrs. Bennett pointed out. A large number of these are being restored to normal, active lives through modern rehabilitation methods.
But care is costly and much time is required to produce results. That is why the Mach of Dimes is appealing to everyone to return their coin envelopes.
