Maria Marova , bom in Russia-her father British, her mother Russian-fled with her parents to England at the time of the Revolution. She studied singing in Paris under a Russian professor and rose to fame. She has sung all over the Continent and is welcomed everywhere because she is a gifted linguist, singing in no fewer than nine languages. She was among the first to broadcast in this country and was heard on the air from Marconi House and from Savoy Hill.

She is to return to New York next January. She personally knew Poldowski who played tnany times at her home in Chelsea.

Quartet in B flat, Op. 168
1 Allegro ma non troppo. 2 Andante sostenuto. 3 Minuetto. 4 Presto played by The Blech String Quartet:
Harry Blech (violin)
Edward Silverman (violin) Douglas Thomson (viola)
William Pleeth (violoncello)
Schubert wrote four string quartets in the key of B flat, of which the one to be heard this evening, although bearing a very late (posthumous) opus number, was actually composed in 1814, when Schubert was a master at his father's school.
This quartet was not published during the composer's lifetime, and the manuscript was probably among the ' effects ' which were sold after Schubert's death for a few shillings. The music is very typical of Schubert's early instrumental style.
