Symphony orchestra as solo violinist'
The same NAV be said Of J. Adam

living pianists. The high regard 1ol
Nine. Szumowska ability is shown
in the following taken from the Bos
ton Globe: "There is no woman
pianist who holds higher place IN
the regard of Bostonians than Nine

and annual appearance with the Bos'
ton symphony orchestra are among
the most welcome events of the mu
