From the Sydney
Morning Herald of I January 1901 , page 11:
Quartet societies have never
maintained any lengthy permanence in Sydney. The Zerbini string quartet
(headed by the famous viola player of that name) became an established
institution; the Mendelssohn Quintet Club lasted for some time. Mr Rivers
Allpress and Miss Lottie Hyam sustained the appreciation of this form
of composition, and M.F. Aengenheyster conducted the Pleyel classical
concerts (leader M. Henri Staell) for several years. The Orpheus Club
for a number of years included quartets and quintets in its miscellaneous
programmes. In Melbourne Mr. Max Klein for a long period conducted a string
quartet, with which at one time Zerbini was associated, and chamber music
has been regularly cultivated in Adelaide.
