DEBUT RECITAL for PHILADELPHIA CHAMBER GROUP
The Philadelphia Chamber: Players, a group organized this season by Jacob
Krachmalnick, cOncert master of The Philadelphia Orchestra, will give its first
public performance on Friday evening, January 27, at 8:30 in the galleries of The
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
The distinguished members of the organi-
zation, in addition to Mr. Krachmalnick, include Veda Reynolds, violinist; Harry
Zaratzian, violist; Lorne Munroe,
cell~st
(all first chair players of The Philadel-
phis. Orchestra); and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, and member of the faculty of The
Curtis Institute of Music.
The organization plans to devote its programs to works rarely heard, and
at the same time give its members an opportunity to play solos and sonatas, in
addition to compositions for the full group .
Their first program will include String Quartet in G minor, Opus 74,
No.4; by Haydn; Duo, No.2, in B flat, for violin and viola, by Mozart: Sonata
for violin and cello by Ravel: and Quintet for piano and strings by Bloch.
The
Mozart and Ravel works are very rarely heard; if not the first performance for
the Ravel Sonata in Philadelphia, it is certainly one of the first.
The Mozart
and Bloch compositions are played in honor of the 200th and 75th anniversaries,
respectively, of the births of these two composers.
Free admission is made possible through the cooperation of the Music
Performance Trust Fund of the American Phonograph Industry, with the Academy.
This concert will take place during the Academy ' s l5lst Annual Exhibitionof contemporary American Oil Painting and Sculpture.
Doors will open at 7:30.
No cards of admission are required .

Director of Public Relations
Husband and Wife Team to Play at Pennsylvania Academy
Eleanor and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianists, will be heard in a program of original
works for four hands at one piano, on Friday evening, February
24, at 8:30 in the
galleries of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Broad and Cherry Streets.
The program will include:
Sonata, No.1, in D major, Kochel No. 381 - Mozart
Fantaisie in F minor -
S~hubert
Andante and Variations - Mendelssohn
Petite Suite - Debussy
Slavonia Dances in E minor and A flat major - Dvorak
Four hands at one piano is a form of playing seldom heard in public today,
although a wealth of literature has been handed down by the masters.
Actually,
many of the works known today as orchestral pieces came from the original version of
four hands at one piano - better known as the duet -form.
Well-known for several years as a duo-piano team, Mr. and Mrs. Sokoloff, both
members of the faculty of The Curtis Institute of Music, have also had a long-standing
interest in the duet-form.
This will be the second consecutive year that they have
played in a Pennsylvania Academy concert series.
The program will occur during the last week of the l51st Annual Exhibition of
Contemporary American Painting and Sculpture.
Doors will open at 7:30, and a twenty-
minute intermission will be scheduled, in order that visitors may have this added
opportunity for a last look at the exhibition.
Through the collaboration of the Music Performance Trust Fund, the concert
i.,i ll be free to the public, which is invited to attend.
No cards are required.

Academy Fellmlship Presents Its Annual Exhibition
and a Memorial Exhibition of Sculpture by Yoshimatsu Onaga
The FeHov/ship (alumpi) of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, last night at
a private view, op~ned its Annual Exhibition which comprises some 160 oils, water
colors, sculptures, and graphics by former Academy students. It will remain through
April 8.
Ji'or the second successive year, The Fellowship has pursued the pollcy of including
in these annual events work by alumni other than local. While impossible to include
all of the well-known former students now scattered throughout the country, indeed
the world, a good representation ranging from conservative to ultra-modern has been
accomplished. Not only are they exhibitors of national and internation a l repute,
but several also hold important teaching posts in the ftnest art schools of New York
City and elsewhere. This holds for the local artists, too. Also, several are art
directors in top advertiSing agencies, or outstanding designers in many diverse fields
of the applied arts. As to prizes, just about everyone available has been won by
artis t s who had their training in this institution. It is evident, therefore, that
the influence of the Pennsylvania Academy schools has been all pervasive.
As for Yoshimatsu Qnaga, upon finishing high school in Japan, he left for America by
sailing vesse l, ultimately arriving for study as a p a inter at the Pennsylvania Academy.
While in Paris in 1921 on a Cresson Traveling Scholarship, he became friendly with
the sculptors of that time. Upon his return to the Pennsylvania Academy he forsook
painting for sculpture, becoming a student of Charles Grafly. He worked as a sculptor
for the balance of his life, executing everything from large stone and plaster pieces
to tiny paper animals and birds for children. 38 of his works are in this exhibition.
Ju:ciea which chose the partly j.nvited-partly juried FellOWShip Exhibiti.QU and awarded
the following prizes comprised: for oils - Jane pj.per , Henry Peacock, Thomas Yerx8;
for wate r colors and graphics - Eleanor Arnett, Thomas Meehan, Benton Spruance; for
sculpture - J. Wallace Ke lly and Edward Fenno Hoffman.

Pennsylvania Academy's 1956 Summer School
Landscape painting in Fairmount Park, along the Schuylkill, at the
Philadelphia Zoo, sometimes in
t~e
heart of the City, and occasionally even so
far away as the Jersey coast, as weather permits, will be a part of the program
for the summer school at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts this year.
All other sessions will be held in the Academy's winter school studios at
Broad and Cherry Streets.
They will include painting and drawing classes, a
workshop in graphics, studies in composition, life, portrait, and still life.
The following members of the Academy's winter school faculty (all leading
Philadelphia artists) will conduct the classes:
Morris Blackburn, Julius Bloch,
Wallace Peters, Francis Speight, and Roswell Weidner.
Classes will be held on Mondays through Fridays, for a six-week's period
from June 25th to August 3rd.
StUdents may enroll for four or six weeks, with four or six credits,
respectively, available for those requiring them.

Elizabeth Z. Swenson, Director of Public Relations
Pennsylvania Academy Opens Exhibition of
Philadelphia Artists' Work
------
Special honor is being paid local artists by The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts as it opens an Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture by Over 100 Living
Artists in the Philadelphia Area Represented in the Academy's Permanent Collection,
on October 20.
Only one work by each will be shown from the Academy's collection, but in
addition, each was invited to supply one work of his or her own choice.
This was
intended as a bow to those who seldom have a chance to select that work of their own
creation which they are most enthusiastic about, except in
one~an
shows.
Only a few
were unable to comply, with the result that approximately 200 works make up this
special exhibition which will continue through November 18 .
According to Joseph T. Fraser, Jr"
Director of the Academy, in most instances
the works will be arranged in pairs and he hopes visitors will find interest in
comparing them, for there are cases the artist's style of working has undergone a
complete change.
Some of the items in the Academy-owned group were purchased many years ago.
For example, the first came in 1897 (painted the year before).

It happens that both
were painted by women, who make up about one third of the exhibitors.
Mention of the Lambert Fund (established in 1912) leads us to point to the high
percentage of work in the Exhibition which came to the Academy by purchase through
this Fund.
Its terms are rather unique in that the Fund is not intended to buy work

by the most illustrious artists , but it directs that the Academy "should, as far as
possible, desi gnate pictures by younger artists who have not yet made standard
reputations, always choosing pictures of merit. 1f
How "\vell the Academy has bought
in many instances may be determined by the number of one-time young and practically
linknown painters who have since made splendid reputations for themselves.
Another point worthy of mention is that while the Academy is dedicated to
American art, and has been concerned with the subject on a national basis, it has
not overlooked the local artist.
This may be a good opportunity to remind ourselves
that Philadelphia has produced many artists in our time whose work is sufficiently
distinguished to have become known far beyond the bounds of our own area.
In
achieving this recognition} these artists have shared in lifting the standard of
the fine arts in America to the enviable position they hold today.
Perhaps the Academy may properly feel a degree of pride as it also notes the
number of exhibitors it has trained in its schools, and in some cases, later engaged
as members of its faculty.
SpeCial evening events occurring during the Exhibition's stay include:
Two Lectures (in a subscription series of six) titled Understanding and
Enjoyment of Art, Tuesdays , October 30 and November 13, at 8:15
Sonata Recital by Kenton Terry, flutist, and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist
Friday, November 16, at 8:30
Galleries open Tuesdays through Saturdays 10-5;
Sundays and holidays 1-5; and on the evenings
designated above from 7:30.
Closed Mondays.
