EDA KERSEY AND ORCHESTRA Violin concerto in A minor
Eda Kersey. is practically a self-taught violinist. After only a year or two's tuition she developed her playing by studying and by constant attendance at concerts at which great violinists were appearing.
When fourteen years old she heard Kreisler. From that moment set her heart on being a concert soloist.
Her first important engagement was in 1925, when she played Mendelssohn's Concerto at the old Bournemouth studio. She is a well-known microphone figure, having been broadcasting for the past fifteen years.
