CONCERTS AND LECTURES
Balalaika Orchestra.

The Russian Balalaika Orchestra.
which will make its only Washington
appearance at the Columbia Theater
today in two concerts, has the dis
tinction of being the most unique
musical organization now in America.
when the Balalaika Orchestra gave
it's first concert in New York, five
years ago. il created 4 new sensation
to music lovers. Since that time, while
it has become quite the vogue.
This orchestra has been one of tho
very few musical organizations which
has played for the Car of Russia and
his friends at exclusive court and i'm
perial functions.
Alexander Kirillof. the conductor.
has the honor of having played with
the Balalaika when it first charmed
the Cars imperial court. and has been
one of the leading artists of the or
ganization continuously during the
eight years of it's existence. Kirilloff
is also the youngest living Russian
conductor today. NJ. Andreeff. who
has been responsible for the bringing
of the Balalaika instrument from the
almost forgotten archives of Russian
musical lore. was the first conductor.
1t was Andreeff who first came to
America with the orchestra. Since
then KirilIoff has conducted.
With the orchestra there will appear
for the first time in Washington and
America a young. unknown Russian
violinist in Gergory Besrodny. In his
own country he is considered second
to no Russian violinist living today,
and has been placed with Zimbalist
and Elman as the third greatest liv-
ing Russian violinist.
