with Renee Barr (soprano)
When Jack Leonardi was fourteen he played the violin to Huberman, who was impressed with his capabilities and wrote to Willy Hess at the Berlin Conservatoire asking him to receive Leonardi as a pupil. He studied for two years, then, after a series of solo engagements, toured the world as solo violinist with Terpsichore, the French dancer.
Until quite recently he was closely associated with Alfredo's Orchestra, and was heard many times in the National programme as its leader. He first broadcast with his own orchestra in the West of England programme in July, 1937.
