This image displays a collection of historical printed materials from a 1930 concert, arranged on a single sheet or folder, likely for archival preservation.

The main document is a formal concert program from the Fogg Art Museum – Harvard University, dated Friday, December 12, 1930, at 8:15 o’clock. It announces a Concert by The Stradivarius Quartet, held in the Central Court of the Fogg Art Museum under the auspices of the Divisions of Music and of the Fine Arts. The quartet members listed are:

  • Wolfe Wolfinsorh, First Violin
  • Alfred Pochon, Second Violin
  • Nicolas Moldavan, Viola
  • Gerald Warburg, Violoncello

Above this central program, two smaller clippings are pasted.

The left clipping, from the HARVARD CRIMSON dated Friday, December 5, 1930, announces: “STRADIVARIUS QUARTET WILL GIVE CONCERT IN FOGG COURT.” It confirms the date (Friday, December 12, at 8:15 o’clock) and location, reiterates the performers, and details the program of works by Beethoven, Moor, and Glazounow. Crucially, it notes the quartet’s “reorganized” membership, listing the same performers as the main program.

The right clipping is another article announcing the same “Concert by the Stradivarius Quartet,” reiterating the date, time, location, and the auspices. It also provides the detailed program:

  • Beethoven: Quartet in A major, Op. 18, No. 5 (Allegro, Menuetto, Andante Cantabile, Allegro)
  • Moor: Prelude (played from manuscript)
  • Glazounow: Quartet in A minor, Op. 64 (Andante-Allegro, Andante allegretto, Scherzo Vivace, Finale allegro)

This article also reveals that this is the second concert of the series and that a third concert is scheduled for January 10th, 1931.

A small, handwritten note on the right side of the clipping mentions “Gary- Dec. 6, 1930,” which may be a later annotation by an archivist or collector.

In sum, the image is an archival folder or document page containing a concert program and related newspaper clippings that together document a 1930 performance by the Stradivarius Quartet at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum, detailing the performers, repertoire, and concert series schedule. The consistent listing of the same four performers across all documents confirms the reorganization mentioned in the newspaper.
