- Biography
- Remo Bolognini (1898-1977), a South American violinist who immigrated to the United States, perhaps was best known for his association with the conductor Arturo Toscanini, first with the New York Philharmonic (1931-1935), and later, with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Born in Buenos Aires to a musical family, Bolognini became a pupil of Hércules Galvani at the age of seven. After six years of study, Bolognini's first recital, when he was only thirteen, created a sensation in South American music circles. As a child, Remo and his brothers formed a classical orchestra that performed for three years at the Palace Theatre in Buenos Aires and a youthful Remo later became concert master of the Buenos Aires Philharmonic. In 1927 Bolognini made his debut in the United States with the Chicago Symphony orchestra under Frederick Stock, but soon after went to Europe, where he studied with Eugène Ysaÿe and performed as a soloist. While in Europe, Bolognini was heard by Toscanini, who engaged him for the New York Philharmonic. Bolognini became assistant concert master for NBC Symphony Orchestra, which had been established in 1937 as a vehicle for the conductor. Bolognini would remain with the orchestra througout Toscanini's tenure, but served as an assistant concert master and assistant conductor for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra during the 1950s. Later in life, Bolognini returned to New York and played as a substitute in the violin section of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
