Senior Fernandes comes to Rock
Island after . long line OF successes
Of international scope. Born in
Spain, FernandeS was = graduate Of
the conservative Of m.sic 1t
Madrid. His talents won him early
recognition. He was accorded IN
enviabfe place in the Beethoven
Symphony orchestra Of Madrid. He
later became director Of the Span
ish Opera company that toured
Cuba and the United States. In
this way he came to America via
New Orleans and was 70 impressed
with this country that he forthwith
decided to make America his home.
That was eight years ago. The
musical fame Of Chicago attracted
him and he became concert master
|, at several Of the famous musical
centers in tie Windy City and then
director for Patricia.
He comes to Rock Island from
the faculty of Kimball hall. having
been very successful there - an in
structor of yiolin. He has gathered
about him some ct the finest talent
available, giving preference to Rock

With eccentricities, but with q
distinct individuality, Fernandez
promises many musical novelties
for Fort Armstrong patrons. He
has a wonderfully complete must

in the music room Of the new the

fully score the pictures, selecting
music that will bring out eaci
