Rudolph Serkin
Concert Feature

One of the Capitals outstanding
holiday programs will be the Phil

Constitution Hall on December %,
featuring Rudolph Serkin, pianist,
as guest artist. This is the only
performance not included on the
regular season tickets. Favorite To-

Rudolph Serkin, whose first ap-
pearance in the United States was
made here in Washington in 1888,
playing with Violinist Adolph
Busch in the Coolidge Festival, sky
rocketed to fame in this country
three years later. after Arturo Tos-
canini introduced him as solo artist
with the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra. Serkin is that rare
artist, a child prodigy whose parents
refused to allow him to be eX-
plotted.
Born in Czechoslovakia of a poor
but musicallv talented family, the
boy at 4 could play the piano cred
ltably and read music with facility.
His father, though needing money
badly, refused offers of public tours
for the child and placed him under
the tutelage of Richard Robert in
Vienna. He emerged from the Sc
clusion of his studies only once
during his childhood, to play with
the Vienna Symphony when he was
II. His concert met with storm
of approval from audience and
critics.
