Gustave Tinlot, First Violinist Millard Taylor, Second Violinist Samuel Belov, Violist Paul Kefer, 'Cellist The Kilbourn Quartet was one of the earliest organizations to be founded in connection with the Eastman School of Music. During the fifteen years of its existence, several changes in personnel have taken place. Of the original group brought together by Arthur Hartman under the patronage of George Eastman, only one, Samuel Belov, remains as a member. Other members of the original group were: Gerald Maas, 'Cellist, and Gerald Kunz, second violinist. Paul Kefer assumed the position of 'Cellist in 1924 at the death of Joseph Press. In 1926 Gustave Tinlot succeeded Vladimir Resnikoff as first violinist, and in 1935 Millard Taylor was appointed second violinist to succeed Alexander Leventon. The Quartet was subsidized by Mr. Eastman from the time of its founding until his decease in 1932. Since then it has been under the sponsorship of the Eastman School of Music. Included on this year's programs were compositions by Haydn, Mozart, Afanasief, Brahms, and Tailleferre. KILBUUHN UUAHTET
