Provenance

Edouard Kesner

Edouard Kesner (1920–2006) grew up in New York City. He

made his debut at the age of seven, playing the Paganini Violin

Concerto with the Stamford Symphony. He was a graduate of

the Juilliard School of Music, and studied with Leopold Auer,

among others. He played other instruments including the piano,

trombone, and viola. He played with the St. Louis Symphony,

Baltimore Symphony, Chautauqua Symphony, Les Brown, the

Dorsey Brothers, and under such great conductors as Bruno

Walter, Erich Leinsdorf, and Leopold Stokowski. In 1951 he was

invited by Mischa Mischakoff to play principal second violin with

the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. He was also Concertmaster

of the Dearborn Orchestra for 30 years, and taught at Oakland

University and Wayne State University. Kesner was on the staff of

Motown Records and many of his recordings were used in films.

He also played with the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini.

Mac Marlow

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Mac Marlow’s (1915–2013) musical accomplishment started

when he was awarded a scholarship from the New York Philharmonic Student Program while

attending high school. Professionally he was well-known for expertise with the trombone,

violin, and viola. He played with the most popular big bands in the country, including Les

Brown, Harry James, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Morton Gould, Andre Kostelanetz,

County Basie, Vincent Lopez, Ted Lewis, and Charlie Barnett, as well as many lesser-known

bands of the big band era. Marlow’s list of performance venues read like a map of famous

show business landmarks: Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theatre, Hotel Taft, The Capitol Theater,

and the Copacabana in New York. He also played with the CBS orchestra, and taught at

the University of Wisconsin and the Goddard College School of Music in Vermont. Marlow’s

friends included Betty Grable, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Doc Severinson, and Doris Day,

who called him “Marsh Marlow.” He moved to Fort Wayne Indiana in the 1960s, where he

was lead violinist in addition to playing the viola for the Fort Wayne Philharmonic. He and

his wife, Leonora, opened a music school in Fort Wayne and taught hundreds of students

over 50+ years.

Reception & Extended Auction Preview

Praised for their “beautiful sound” (Beijing Global Times) the Arneis Quartet is proving to be one of the finest emerging ensembles of its generation. “As a relatively young quartet, they have already achieved something it often takes years to develop: a unique, collective sound which is as warm and full of sparkle as liquid gold.” (Boston Musical Intelligencer) Playfully named after the Arneis grape—a varietal that is difficult to grow, but which yields an exquisite white wine—the Boston-based quartet was hand-picked by the St. Lawrence String Quartet for its inaugural John Lad Prize, which included debuts on the Stanford University Lively Arts series and Music on Main in Vancouver. Arneis Quartet received a fellowship at the Aspen Center for Advanced String Quartet Studies for the summer of 2012, and acted as the 2011 Young Artist Fellows for the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music. The Quartet has also attended Juilliard Quartet Seminar, the Deer Valley Emerging Quartets and Composers Program, and the Banff Centre Chamber Music Residency. In 2011 they received a grant from Meet the Composer for new works premiered during the 2010-2011 season, and brought music of Jonathan Berger and Brian Ferneyhough to the 2011 Beijing Modern Music Festival and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Recent performance venues include Swarthmore College, Hawthorne Barn in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and the Concord Free Public Library.

Celebrating their fifth anniversary during the 2014-15 season, Arneis Quartet will perform on the Alcyon, Winsor Music, and Emmanuel Music chamber series. This season also brings interdisciplinary collaborations with Boston University Center for the Humanities. Four unique concerts and symposiums between December 2014 and April 2015 will explore the intersection of poetry and music in works of John Harbison, Lee Hyla, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Beethoven among others.

Arneis Quartet currently collaborates with Emmanuel Music to present educational outreach programs throughout the city of Boston. Through Emmanuel Music‘s “Community Connections” program, the Quartet’s outreach includes performance, masterclasses and collaborations with students. They have worked with music students at the Boston Arts Academy, Perkins School for the Blind, and the Boston Public Schools. Outside of their Boston home, the Quartet has taught masterclasses at Swarthmore College and acted as guest faculty at the Lyceum Music Festival in Park City Utah, and have brought musical outreach to communities in California, Michigan, Ohio, and Reggio Emilia, Italy. Arneis Quartet is the faculty ensemble in residence at the Dana Hall School of Music. The Quartet members are on the faculties of Boston University, Brookline Public Schools, the Chestnut Hill School, and act as coaches for the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras.

All alumni of Boston University, the Arneis Quartet has coached with members of the Muir, St. Lawrence, Brentano, Emerson and Juilliard quartets as well as Bayla Keyes, Earl Carlyss, Mary Ruth (UV) Ray, James Dunham, Sylvia Rosenberg, Henk Guittart, Alasdair Tait, Roger Tapping, Leonard Matczynski, Joan Tower and Donald Weilerstein. Arneis has performed with guest artists including the Saint Lawrence String Quartet, Marc Johnson, Peter Zazofsky, Ursula Holliger, Jessica Zhou, Kevin Loucks, Michelle LaCourse, and Gabriel Kahane.

Conditions of Sale1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of the date of sale.

Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If any property has not been removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds to the purchaser.

5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank authorization has been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment methods. Skinner does not accept payment by credit card for merchandise purchases.

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.

7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.

8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.

9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.

The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Skinner, Inc. relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalog, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Skinner, Inc. and shall not be used by the purchaser, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.

13. These conditions of sale shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law). The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in connection with the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
