34 1C THE ATHENAEUM directs student orchestras, and fills numerous recital engagements. He is known throughout America and Europe as a concert violinist and in America as a chorus and orchestra director, and a teacher of the violin. “Mr. Harreld’s career began very early. Entering the Chicago Music College, he studied the violin under Chiheiser, theory under Margott and Falk, and composition under Borowski. The celebrated violinist, Frederick Frederichson, of the Royal College of Music in London, was his next teacher. During these years he made quite a reputation as a concert violinist.” The National Cyclopedia of the Colored Race says, “Busy as Mr. Harreld is with his regular work he, nevertheless, steals time here and there for intense study and observation. The year 1914 found him stealing away to spend his vacation and study in Berlin; and the summer of 1922 found him in the Boston Conservatory of Music and completing two records, Swanee River and Souvenir, for the Black Swan Record Co.” The Annual Violin Recital is well known at Morehouse College and in the city of Atlanta. However, this year it was given earlier than usual, occurring with the termination of the interesting Eighth Annual Meeting of the Association for the study of Negro Life and History. A proof of the ability of Prof. Harreld and those who assisted him is the program which was rendered Friday evening, October 26, 1923, in the Sale Hall Chapel at Morehouse College Both Miss Latimer and Miss Harris were former students of Prof. Harreld’s studio. Another manifestation of Prof. Harreld’s superior ability as a director is the Morehouse College Orchestra and Glee Club. It is well known that Morehouse College lost many valuable men in the class of ’23, which affected the. Orchestra and Glee Club more than any other phase of extra-curricular activity. This term’s work was begun with only a nucleus for such a large and important organization. How ever, the way the orchestra acquitted itself on its first appearance met with unanimous acclamation. From these facts it can be realized that we have an Artist with us and a closer association with his works will stimulate greater appreciation of his potentialities. THE ANNUAL VIOLIN RECITAL The Music lovers of Atlanta received their first musical treat of the season at Morehouse, Friday evening, October 26th. Prof. Kem per Harreld, one of the most noted violinists of the country and head of the department of music at Morehouse, appeared in his annual re cital. The heavy applause from the audience when he first came upon the stage was indicative of its appreciation of his recitals in former years. Without discrediting any of the masterful performances of his past record, it is safe to say that this recital was among the very best he has given to the public of Atlanta. Suppose Nobody Cared! I Care! Do You!
