Two-Piano Team Will Open New Concert Course
Luboshutz and Nemenoff, famous two-piano team, appear next Monday evening in the first number of the University Concert Course. Both members of this couple have been playing ensemble music since they were children.
Pierre Luboshutz was one of a family of three gifted children who played together as a trio, first privately at home and later on concert tours in their native Russia. He progressed rapidly as a boy on the piano and at twelve was sent to the Conservatory of Moscow. When Fritz Kreisler visited Moscow for a series of concerts, fourteen-year-old Pierre Luboshutz was chosen to meet the need of accompanist to this great violinist.
In 1912 he made his debut in Moscow as guest soloist with the orchestra of Serge Koussevitsky, now director of the Boston Symphony. Following this he toured Russia until the Revolution.
In Paris he met the Russian soprano Nina Koshetz, who sang here several years ago with the Ukranian chorus. Pierre has played with the New York Philharmonic under the wand of Arturo Toscanini.
His wife, Genia Nemenoff, was the child of a mother who was an accomplished pianist and a father who was an opera singer. At the age of ten she was playing before the public. Genia made her recital debut in Paris and soon afterwards played in joint recital with the Spanish cellist, Pablo Casals. Later she tourned Algeria, Belgium, Germany, Holland, and Spain.
Eleven years ago Pierre Luboshutz was conducting a master class in Paris and Genia Nemenoff enrolled as his pupil. A romance ensued and two years later they were married.
The sale of season tickets has been a brisk one, although there are excellent reserved seats still available.

Telephone men
know this piece of apparatus as the 108-A Amplifier. It is an "exploring amplifier," developed by Bell System engineers to identify pairs of wires in telephone cables—some of which contain as many as 4242 wires.
The cable man explores this mass of wires with the pencil-like probe. A tone sounding in the headphone tells him when he has found the right pair.
Ingenuity-special equipment-attention to details-play an important part in making your telephone service the clearest and fastest in the world.
