| Biographical note | "The term 'musical background' applies rather thoroughly to Homer Ulrich, whose father was one of the first piano teachers in Chicago, back in the 1880's. The roster of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra included one or more Ulrichs from 1891 to 1935, with the exception of one year, and the Ulrich home for two generations was a center of musical activity in which chamber music playing predominated. Mr. Ulrich's educational background includes the Chicago Musical College, the orchestral training school of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, graduate work at the University of Chicago, and private study with eminent instrumentalists. Six years in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Frederick Stock were followed by three years as head of the music department of Monticello College. He is now associate professor of chamber music at the University of Texas, where he has been since 1939. His activities there have included at various times teaching cello, woodwind instruments, and chamber music, conducting the University Orchestra, directing the Music Unit of Radio House, and teaching a radio music course. In addition to his favorite hobbies of chamber music playing, woodworking, and furniture making, he enjoys commuting 160 miles every weekend during the winter season to play with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra."--Dust jacket. |
