Alfredo Casella described traveling to one of these festivals with the formidable Coolidge: \"The arrival at the hotel of that tall, spectacled lady, followed by a retinue of twenty or thirty persons, most of them armed with musical instruments, was impossibly funny. The hotel was thus taken by assault by the cosmopolitan company, which was looked on with a certain amazement by other travelers who were not part of it.\" (See \u003ci\u003eCultivating Music in America: Women Patrons and Activists since 1860, \u003c\/i\u003ep. 193.)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093589151903,"sku":"15571","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Coolidge_Roosevelt_Dohnanyi_Roth_15571.jpg?v=1722189025","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/15571-coolidge-festival-coolidge-elizabeth-sprague-roosevelt-nicholas-kortschak-hugo-dohnanyi-erno-lubbecke-job-emma-roth-quartet-group-of-autograph-signatures","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
