John Philip Sousa Band, Galli-Curci Were First Music 'Giants' To Perform in Hoch
The John Philip Sousa band concert in 1927, a highlight of the University's 43-year-old concert course, was the first musical event to take place in Hoch auditorium.
Sousa played in Hoch two weeks before it was formally dedicated with a concert by Amelita Galli-Curci, Metropolitan coloratura soprano.
The concert course grew out of a May festival organized in 1903 by Charles Sanford Skilton, dean of the School of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1915. During this time, it was held in Fraser theater.
When Harold Butler became dean in 1915, the concert were given on the second floor of Robinson gymnasium. By using the semi-balcony, about 1500 persons could be seated. Well-known artists, but not the "giants" of the music world, were asked to appear, Dean D. M. Swart-out said. When Hoch auditorium was built, international artists could be considered for the concerts.
Such famous artists were the violinists Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, and Albert Spalding. Pianists on the concert course have included Artur Rubinstein, Alec Templeton, Ignace Paderewski, José Hofman, and Serge R赅manoff.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink John McCormack, John Charles Ponsle, Gladys Swarthout, Rosa Ponselle, Marian Anderson, Lauritz Melchior, and James Melton are among the famous singers who have appeared on the concert course.
Concert artist fees today are between $800 and $4,000, Dean Swarthout said. The most expensive are coloratura sopranos, then violinists
