...final day, 2,000 zither-loving Teutons crowded into the Rochester Masonic Auditorium for the concert. Feature of the program was four favorite zither compositions by late Zither Composer Henry Wormsbacher. Though not up to the standard of world's No. 1 Zitherist Ferdinand Kollmaneck of Leipzig, Maximillian Veith plinked excellently, got a big hand...
