Biographical Sketch:

Paul Katz was born in New York City, Nov. 2, 1907, but grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Katz studied

the violin from age five and became an accomplished musician; during the 1920s he was a first

violinist with both the Cleveland and Cincinnati orchestras. In 1933, Katz organized the Dayton

Philharmonic Orchestra and held the post of musical director until he retired in 1975.

Paul Katz’s musical studies began in Cincinnati at the College of Music. He then went to the

Conservatory at Ithaca, New York, where he was awarded a scholarship to study the violin under

Otaker Sevcik. He studied with Eugene Yasaye when the Belgian violinist was the conductor of the

Cincinnati Symphony. At fourteen, Dr. Katz was awarded a scholarship by the Julliard Foundation

to continue his studies of the violin under the direction of Leopold Auer. At seventeen, he became

the youngest violinist to be engaged by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In 1931 Dr. Katz was a

student at the American Conservatory in Fontainbleu studying under Nadia Boulanger. That same

year Dr. Katz received a Bachelor of Music degree (in music theory) from the Cleveland Institute of

Music.

In 1933, Dr. Katz returned to Dayton where he organized a chamber music orchestra of twenty-six

players which became the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Under his direction, the Dayton

Philharmonic Orchestra established a reputation for presenting the great musical compositions of

the past and present, and for bringing world renowned guest artists to Dayton. Guest artists

including Arthur Rubinstein, Jan Peerce, Isaac Stern, Van Cliburn, and Gregor Piatigorsky,

performed with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.

On July 29, 1934, Paul Katz married Phyllis Margolis. Phyllis was also a musician and would

accompany Dr. Katz’ on the piano. They had one son together, Nevin.

Always concerned with expanding knowledge and developing appreciation of music, Dr. Katz served

as a lecturer, a college professor, and a private violin teacher. He also participated in conducting radio

programs of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performances in order to allow a much larger

audience the opportunity to enjoy the world of music.

Two innovative ideas that Dr. Katz developed centered on young people. He established the Junior

Philharmonic (later known as the Dayton Philharmonic Training Orchestra), the purpose of which


was to provide a training ground where capable musicians in the Dayton area are given the opportunity

to perform symphonic compositions under expert direction and leadership.

Early in his career as conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, Dr. Katz pioneered the concept

of Children's Concerts. These concerts by the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra were performed during

the daytime in school auditoriums, at Memorial Hall, and at the University of Dayton Fieldhouse.

The audiences were composed of elementary and high school students from both the public and

parochial school systems from the greater Miami Valley area. Another new touch was added to the

concept of children's concerts when the elementary school orchestras were invited to perform with

the Philharmonic under Dr. Katz's direction. Soloists from the schools were also given the

opportunity to perform.

To encourage composers from the surrounding area, the work of an unknown composer was

included in the regular season concert programs performed by the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 1961, Dr, Paul Katz was awarded two honorary Doctor of Music degrees--one from Central State

University and the other from the University of Dayton.

For forty-two years, Dr. Katz served the community as the Director of the Dayton Philharmonic

Orchestra. In 1975, he became the first Conductor Emeritus of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe honored Dr. Katz by funding the Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe Patron

Concerts. The gift enabled the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra to add one concert to the Orchestra's

regular series each year for ten years. These concerts were then directed by Dr. Paul Katz.

Dr. Katz remained active in the world of music despite his retirement. He served as the director of

the choir for Temple Israel and continued to conduct the Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe

Patron Concerts. He also taught private violin lessons and wrote until his death on August 31, 1989.

Scope and Content:

The collection documents Paul Katz's long career as a musician, composer, teacher, and

conductor. Katz founded the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra (DPO) in 1933, serving as its

Musical Director until he retired in 1975. Papers in this collection include personal

correspondence, a complete set of Dayton Philharmonic concert programs for 1933-1975,

conductor scores, photographs, clippings, speeches, and articles by Katz. Also included are

audiocassette tapes of DPO performances and an interview with Katz. As well as being active in

the DPO for many years, Katz was also active in the community, particularly in the Jewish

community. He was the director of music at Temple Israel, and part of this collection includes

information about this part of his life.

Series I, Biographical Information, 1918-1994, contains personal documents and writings by

Paul Katz, including appointment books, speeches, articles, poetry, and a copy of his own

autobiographical book titled “My 42 Years with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.” Especially

poignant are Katz’s writings on depression written at the end of his life. Notebooks filled during

Katz’s career, include a library of scores, guests, and DPO member lists. Katz also kept duplicate

copies of the “Chamber Orchestra Society” Incorporation, which was the original name of the

Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra founded by Paul Katz in 1933. This series also contains transcripts

of an oral history interview conducted by Charles Berry in 1978 and 1979, as well as articles and

cards following Katz’s death in 1989.

Series II, Correspondence, 1920-1993, is organized chronologically and covers a variety of topics,

including Katz’s performances, his health, and his communications with instrument manufacturers.

Here one can read correspondence between Dr. Katz and artists considering guest performances

with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Some of the artists include: Leonard Rose, Rudolf

Firkusny, Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, and Yehudi Menuhin. Correspondence with some lesser

known artists is also included. Such artists include Leonard Shure, a pianist who played the 1st

movement from a Beethoven Concerto at one of the USO concerts, and Arthur Loesser. Mr.

Loesser was a teacher of the history of music at the Cleveland Institute of Music. He was also an

accomplished pianist. Also of note in this series is a note written by Gregor Piatigorsky which is


addressed "To Patty" and talks about her ability to keep Nevin (Paul Katz's son) occupied. It

contains a handwritten ditty by Piatigorsky about Nevin Katz.

Series III, Conductor Scores and Sketches by Katz, 1920-1981, contains scores by various

composers, with two scores and five sketches notably by Paul Katz. Also included are several

miniature scores, and finally, a run of conductor scores alphabetized by composer's last name. The

scores were kept with the collection because they contain "working notes" written by Dr. Katz

which explain his interpretation of the individual pieces. One item of particular interest is the

"Variations on L'Amour De May for grand orchestra" written by Mr. Maurice Baron. This

composition has been autographed with a note addressed to Dr. Katz by Maurice Baron. See Series

VI for oversize scores.

Series IV, Photographs, circa 1917-1980, is divided into two subseries. Subseries A: Personal,

includes photographs of Paul Katz and his wife, Phyllis, taken and signed by renowned Dayton

photographer Jane Reece. The personal photographs feature Katz conducting and at volunteer

events. Subseries B: Guest Artists, consists of autographed photographs of guest artists who

performed with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Most of the Photographs in this latter category

have been copied by Wright State University and the originals were returned to Dr. Katz. The

photographs are organized alphabetically by the artist's last name. There are also photographs of

interest in Series VI: Oversized Collection.

Series V, Personal Concert Programs, 1919-1975, contains programs dating back to Katz’

childhood. The concert programs were collected from performances featuring Dr. Katz as an artist

(violin), performances featuring Dr. Katz's musical compositions, concerts where Dayton

Philharmonic Orchestra performed in guest appearances (Springfield, Wright State University Artist

Series, etc.), and foreign concert programs where Dr. Katz was the guest conductor. The material is

arranged alphabetically according to topic.

Series VI, Oversized Collection, 1939-1987, includes oversize photographs, seven oversize

conductor scores, a Dayton Philharmonic promotional poster from 1960, and awards.

Series VII, Audio Recordings, 1939, circa 1950-1988. The sound recordings are in the form of

record albums, audiocassettes, and electronic files. The record albums are listed first, followed by

the audiocassettes. Although arranged chronologically, the audiocassettes can be grouped into three

categories. The first are tapes of Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra concert performances recorded

and narrated by WHIO radio. Researchers can access the concert programs in Series IX Dayton

Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Programs, for a list of pieces performed during the concert, but

be aware not all pieces listed in the program were recorded on the audiotapes due to contractual

agreements with WHIO. A second category of recordings are of Dr. Paul Katz playing the violin

while accompanied on the piano by his wife, Phyllis Katz. The third category of content are oral

history interview tapes of Dr. Katz and Phyllis Katz. The interview tapes were prepared under the

direction of Dr. Charles Berry. They are part of an oral history project designed to document those

individuals and the processes involved in developing the cultural scene in Dayton, Ohio.

Transcripts of the interviews are available in Series I: Biographical Information.


Most of the recordings are on audiocassette tapes. However, some of the tapes have been digitized,

which are noted in the inventory with an e-item number, similar to ms102_e0001. When requesting

electronic files, please provide the e-item number and the file description for access.

Series VIII Newspaper Clippings, 1924-1994, covers a variety of topics. The clippings preserved

on microfilm located in the reading room, date 1917-1927, 1929-1931, 1933-1970, 1972, 1977. In

addition, the collection contains original clippings featuring Paul Katz as an artist (child prodigy),

awards given to Dr. Katz, reviews of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performances and other

performances conducted by Dr. Katz, as well as articles on Temple Israel. A special Dayton Daily

News feature on Dayton Philharmonic’s 60th anniversary in 1994 is located in oversize.

Series IX Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Programs, 1931-1976, contains the

Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra concert programs originally owned by Dr. Paul Katz, however there

are occasional gaps. However, information on the next concert is given toward the back of each

program, which can help fill in some gaps. Please note that MS-314 Dayton Philharmonic

Orchestra Records also contains concert programs. Dr. Katz was the director of the Dayton

Philharmonic Orchestra. The programs span the first through the forty-second seasons of this

distinguished group.
