| | Photograph Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Carmela Cafarelli Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Cafarelli, Carmela | | | | Dates: | 1870-1979 | | | | Abstract: | Carmela Cafarelli (ca. 1880-1979) was an Italian-American opera star, founder of an opera company, and accomplished harpist from Cleveland, Ohio. Her father, Rocco Cafarelli, was a renowned Italian harpist who had immigrated to Cleveland in the 1880s, and was his daughter's earliest teacher. At the age of eight, she began study with master harpist Henry B. Fabiani in Cleveland. As a harpist, she toured the United States and abroad. She also became a solo harpist for the Cleveland Orchestra. Cafarelli studied voice with William Saal in Cleveland, and later attended the Conservatorie Santa Lucia and the Reale Accademia Filarmonica Romana in Italy, earning diplomas in both voice and harp. After her return to the United States in 1924, she undertook additional musical studies with Benjamino Gigli and Pietro Audisio of the New York Metropolitan Opera. In 1929, she returned to Cleveland, and in 1934, founded the Cafarelli Opera Company. This group toured throughout the United States and put on many charitable performances in Northeast Ohio. Cafarelli stopped performing in 1945, but continued to head her opera company and became a leading philanthropist and promoter of the arts in Cleveland. The collection consists of individual portraits of Carmela Cafarelli, including publicity and performance photographs, family photographs including portraits of her father, Rocco Cafarelli, and portraits of Cafarelli family friends and associates. | | | | Call #: | PG 469 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Cafarelli, Carmela -- Photograph collections. | Cafarelli, Rocco -- Photograph collections. | Cafarelli Opera Company -- Photograph collections. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Musicians -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Women musicians -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Opera companies -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Opera -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Harpists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Singers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Italian American women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Italian Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Laszlo and Susan Krausz Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Krausz, Laszlo and Susan | | | | Dates: | 1923-2003 | | | | Abstract: | Laszlo Krausz (1903-1979) and Susan Krausz (1914-2008) were a Jewish couple from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who were accomplished musicians. Laszlo Krausz was born in Pecs, Hungary in 1903. From an early age he studied violin, travelling to Budapest, Vienna, and Paris to continue his education, until settling in Switzerland in 1929 to study viola. Susan Strauss Krausz was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1914. She completed piano studies at the Musikhochschule of Stuttgart and then moved to Switzerland in 1933. Following their 1935 marriage, Laszlo and Susan performed a series of viola-piano sonatas for Radio Geneva before immigrating to the United States in 1947. The Krausz family initially settled in New York where Laszlo accepted a position at the New York College of Music and played with the Carnegie Hall Pops Orchestra. Laszlo was then offered a position with the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in the fall of 1947. While a member of the Cleveland Orchestra, Laszlo also founded the Cleveland Chamber Orchestra and conducted both the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra and the Akron Symphony Orchestra. He also pursued the sketching and painting that would become his full-time passion following his retirement from the orchestra in 1969. Laszlo's art was shown at various galleries, including the Butler Museum of Art. Susan Krausz joined the faculty of the Cleveland Music School Settlement upon her arrival in the city, and was awarded her M.A. in music from Western Reserve University in 1956. She continued to perform and compose while also teaching piano at Case Western Reserve University and in her home. The Krauszs had two sons, Peter, who owned a public relations firm in Israel until his death in 1989, and Michael, who is currently a philosophy professor at Bryn Mawr College. The collection consists of 339 black and white photographs, 419 color photographs, and 2538 color 35mm slides. | | | | Call #: | PG 552 | | | | Extent: | 1.01 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Krausz, Lazlo, 1903-1979. -- Photograph collections. | Krausz, Susan, 1914-2008. -- Photograph collections. | Krausz, Peter, 1938-1989. -- Photographs. | Krausz, Michael, 1942- -- Photographs. | Krause family. -- Photographs. | Cleveland Orchestra. -- Photographs. | Musicians -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | College teachers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Art -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Performing arts -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Europe -- Photographs. | Israel -- Photographs.
