given at the two schools .During the year it worked through a large variety
of music, including a chronological survey from Bach to present day exponents of the art of orchestration.
The String Ensemble was formed some time ago for those interested in
the art of the strings. Its appearances during the year were very infrequent,
the main objective of the organization being to familiarize the students with
the great string literature of history.
The Ambrosian Quartette composed of Robert Livingston, tenor, Dario
Aquilani, second tenor, Robert McCormick, baritone, and Charles Tuerk, bass,
was in demand throughout the entire year and made more appearances than
all the others groups combined. The foursome appeared at numerous local
entertainments and made several trips to distant points in the diocese. The
Quartette entertained at all College musical functions and introduced the
Ambrose of the Air radio program every week.
