JULLIARD QUARTET WEARY ON ARRIVAL
Members of America’s world - renowned Juilliard Quartet —plus three wives and three young children—arrived weary from longdistance flying at Christchurch yesterday afternoon, and went early to bed. The violist, Raphael Hillyer, with Mrs Hillyer, flew direct from New York, the only stops being for refuelling. From Tahiti, where they had been staying several days, came the first violinist, Robert Mann, Mrs Mann and their son and daughter. With them travelled the unmarried member, Earl Carlyss, second violin. The ’cellist, Claus Adam, arrived from Sydney with his wife and daughter soon after the others.
Today the quarter is free
from official engagements. The men will rehearse for about two hours in the afternoon, while the rest of the party will be taken by members of the Christchurch Chamber Music Society for drives around the city and afternoon tea at a mer'ber’s house in Sumner. Sight-seeing trips for the whole party are also planned for Wednesday. At the Civic Theatre on Wednesday evening, the Juilliard Quartet will give the first of seven concerts for the New Zealand Federated Chamber Music Societies. They will play Beethoven’s Quartet in F Major, Op. 18, No. 1; the Quartet No. 2 of the Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera; and Debussy’s Quartet in G Minor,
