  • Dorothy Delay, Historic Violin Instructor, Neodesha
    Dorothy DeLay - Historic Violin Instructor This is Kansas Profile. I'm Ron Wilson, director of the Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development at Kansas State University. She taught the masters. She became one of the most famous, sought-after teachers of professional violinists in the world. Her name was Dorothy DeLay, and she came from rural Kansas. It’s today’s Kansas Profile. Dorothy DeLay was born in 1917 in Medicine Lodge. Her parents were musicians and educators. She later described her upbringing as strict and religious. The family moved to Neodesha where her father became school superintendent, and Miss DeLay grew up there. Her musical talents surfaced early. She began studying the violin at age 4 and did a recital at her church at age 5. She was such an advanced student that she graduated from Neodesha High School at age 16 and enrolled at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. Miss DeLay later transferred to Michigan State. Dorothy DeLay was an outstanding violinist. After her graduation in 1937, she moved to New York to continue her violin studies at Juilliard. She also used her musical talents as part of a musical group that she formed called the Stuyvestant Trio. This consisted of a pianist, Dorothy on the violin, and her sister Nellis on the cello. Dorothy toured Latin America as a member of Leopold Stokowski's All- American Youth Orchestra. After that tour, on the cross-country train trip back home, she met a young writer named Edward Newhouse. Apparently it was true love. Four months later they were married.

  • Hamlet Hub (USA)
    US-CT Source: HamletHub Retrieved from https://news.hamlethub.com/wilton/events/51122-wilton-library-streams-hot-cool-jazz-concert-april-30 on 24 June, 2021 Wilton Library streams Hot & Cool Jazz concert April 30 Published on Thursday, 08 April 2021 11:39 Written by Janet Crystal The iconic piano bursts to life when Taylor Eigsti performs in Wilton Library’s first recorded Hot & Cool Jazz concert of the year on Friday, April 30, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The day chosen for the concert’s release is fitting as it is International Jazz Day. Eigsti, long a favorite of the library’s Hot & Cool Jazz series having been its opening musician in 2007, performed this concert at Millstone – then the long-time home of jazz legend Dave Brubeck. The concert was recorded this past December, with Eigsti working his magic on Dave’s grand piano in the dramatic two-story music room where Dave composed so much of his famous music. Wilton resident Chris Brubeck, an award-winning composer and superlative trombonist and bassist, also sat in and jammed with Taylor on a few tunes. This will be a very special one-time concert broadcast. New York-based pianist and composer Taylor Eigsti started playing the piano when he was four years old and was quickly labeled a prodigy.
