worgs of the Canadian Broadcasting

ical fraternity of Toronto quite by ac-
cident.
Mr. 'Spivak made h U.S,, tour in
1922 and while in New York met
Boris i-I•arebourg, Toronto's celebrat-
ed •cellist. They became friends im-
mediately and :Hancbourg invited
Spivak to come to Toronto as his
guest. During the third day of his
visit, the regular violinist of the then
"IH'am!baitrg String Trio", became ill,
and 'H!am'bourg invited Spivak to all
in. The concert was less than 24 hours
away.
/Reginald Stewart was a member of
the 'Hanibourg Trio at that time and
the three artists rehearsed all morn-
ing and ,afternoon. The original pro-
gram was trot changed and in the ev-
ale ning they gave their scheduled con-
wccrt. I amlbouirg was so impressed
with the masterful playing of the
youthful' Spivak, that he asked • him
eo ;become a member of his famous
trio. '•Spivatk accepted the invitation
and also joined the faculty of the
H'ambourg Conservatory,

raine. ane comes from a well known
musical family, his father and grand-
father 'being •lannous singers. In fact,
the name 'Spivak" means "always
singing" in Rei sign. F'lie's love for
music, and' for the violin in partic•nhar,
became apparent at an early age. His
progress was so rapid that he wan
sent to Paris for further studies. He
was a brilliant pupil of fanous mas-
ters and made his concert debut. in
Lonclon, England, in 1119131. He found-
ed the "Elie Spivak (String Quartet"
in London, and it had the 'honour of
being the •first string orchestrara to
broadcast far the CBC, Oa present
