...Torvald Hoyer's passion for painting that first made him an acrobat. Son of a well-known Copenhagen coal-dealer, he started posing for the Danish court painter Frants Henningsen at the age of 13, later studied in his studio.

...Danish Soprano at Jordan...
...very fine artists are also to be heard this week.
