April 14, 1928
Four princesses of the former ruling family of Germany gave a memorial symphony concert in Gotha "in honor of the fallen heroes of the world war. Princess Agathe, the widow of the late Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, a cousin of the former kaiser, played the viola. Her eldest daughter, Princess Marie Therese, 17, played the flute; her second daughter, Princess Luise, 16, played the cello; and her third daughter, Princess Marianne, 14, played the violin.
According to the Associated Press dispatch, the four princesses played in an orchestra "made up of members of the Gotha theater orchestra and volunteers." Princess Marie Therese earned special attention by playing the solo flute part in Bach's Cantata No. 161.
