Los Angeles Times, July 27
The Zoellner Quartet closed their series of ten concerts at the Ebell Club Friday evening, playing to the largest audience of their season—a gratifying exemplification of the admiration which the Zoellners have aroused among the musical intelligentzia of the city.  Joseph Zoellner, senior, his daughter and two sons played this final program in a manner which evidenced a decided achievement.  Ten concerts in ten weeks is a record for ensemble music, and the programs of the past ten weeks have been up to the high standard both for the new in art and the classical.—JEANNE REDMAN.


Los Angeles Examiner, July 26
In the brilliant closing concert of the Zoellner chamber music season last night Los Angeles testified enthusiastically to its interest in music of this intimate and beautiful form.  It proved the climax in this unusual course, in which modern and classical works have been especially well contrasted, and testified vividly to the fine artistry of the musicians.  It was a great personal achievement for the artists.—FLORENCE LAWRENCE.


Los Angeles Express, July 26
A large audience greeted the closing program of the Zoellner Quartet season at the Ebell clubhouse hall last night.  The Zoellner Quartet by its ten or more performances in Los Angeles has become so well recognized as the exponent of the most polished effects known to ensemble art that further encomium is needless.—W. FRANCIS GATES.
