directed toward him, for he was
only 36 years old and while he
had a top-ranking reputation in
Europe, he was virtually unknown
in the United States.
Kubelik is the son of the late
Jan Kubelik, world-renowned violinist, with whom he had his
early musical training and with
whom he made his first appearances as conductor. At the age of
19, young Kubelik was graduated
from the Prague Conservatory in
his native Czechoslovakia, as conductor and composer. He had already toured Europe and America with his father when he was
appointed acting conductor of the
famous Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in 1936.
The following year, Kubelik
conducted ihe Czech Orchestra
in a series of concerts in England with such success that he
was invited io be guest conductor of many leading orchestras
on ihe continent, and his reputation was established.
In 1939, in addition to continuing  as  conductor  of  the  Czech
Philharmonic in Prague, Kubelik
became director and conductor of
the  National  Theater  Opera  in
Brno, second largest Czech city.
He  was   "too busy"  with these
commitments to accept any concert engagements offered by the
Nazis.
r In December, 1941, the Nazis
were displeased with the Opera
in Brno and closed it. The next
month Kubelik was made chief
conductor of the Czech Philharmonic, and remained, conducting
all its concerts, until 1948. After
the war, Kubelik became a familiar figure on the podium as
guest conductor in London, Moscow, Stockholm, Milan, Rome,
Amsterdam— all the music capitals of Europe.
IN 1942, Kubelik married the
violinist Ludmila Bertlova. They „
met when- she was soloist in a
concert of the Czech Philharmonic
he conducted. Their son, Martin,
was born in 1946.
Kubelik's works as a composer
include the full-length opera,
"Veronika" which has been performed by the Czech National
Theater, two one-act operas based
on Anderson's fairy tales, a violin
concerto, three string quartets, a
contata, a piano concerto, and a
symphony for orchestra, chorus,
and baritone.
