Californians Star In Hollywood Bowl Summer Symphonies
By WILL T. GENTZ
Fifty percent of the headline talent to be featured at the Hollywood Bowl symphony concerts this summer has a distinctly California background, it has been ascertained at the headquarters of the summer symphony organization in a lower suite of Hollywood's striking new First National Hank building.
Scrutiny of the records of eight, of seventeen artists to appear on the Friday night programs of the season, which have been designated as a series featuring soloists and special attractions, reveals that one is a native of Los Angeles, three are the product of local training and finishing, two here and one in San Francisco, and four are transplanted artists who have found California a congenial habitat in the further upbuilding of their careers.
Wholly a Los Angeles product, Norma Gould has dazzled audiences in the foremost centers of the country with her terpsichorean art and has managed to maintain at the same time one of the foremost studios devoted to classical dancing on the Pacific coast. Miss Gould and her ballet of fifty coryphees, each individually trained in her own institution, appear in two spectacular divertissements at the Bowl on August 30.
Of the three local artists scheduled for Boivl appearances who are the product of California training, Alexander Kisselburgh is just now most in the limelight. Taken in hand by Louis Graveure, who put him through an intensive course of coaching, Kis-selburgli has gone to New York and won prime recognition as a concert and oratorio artist in less than two years. He sings here in two concer-tized versions of grand opera, “Carmen," on July 2B, and "Tannhauser," on August 16.
Frits de Bruin owes his entire vocal training to a California teacher. This baritone, migrating to America from Amsterdam, joined the Apollo club of •San Francisco as a boy, supplemented his recreational singing with instruction by a local teacher and won a two years’ Chautauqua engagement as soloist as a result. Hhe has made three concert tours of the Hawaiian Islands and has filled engagements as church soloist successively at Portland, Oakland and Los Angeles, singing at present regularly at the First Methodist Church of Los Angeles, lie is in great demand for oratorio and radio appearances. August 24 marks the date of his Bowl debut. ,
Otto Ploetz, ex-doughboy and former Los Angeles business man. owes his embarkation on a musical career to his gratuitous appearances at (Continued on Page Three)
