D. Sager











Nat Brusiloff, Broadcast Pioneer

Hear about the remarkable life of Nat Brusiloff, Baltimore-Washington
native and 1920s musical director of the CBS radio network. 
Brusiloff's daughter, Carol Brusiloff Mizrahi, and his great-nephew,
David Sager, will recount his life and reminisce about the musical
pioneer whose career paralleled the rise of network radio in the
United States. 

Nat Brusiloff was concertmaster at Washington, D.C.'s grandest movie
palace, The Fox, worked with society orchestra leader Meyer Davis, was
Kate Smith's first conductor, and was music director of WOR in New
York City.  According to his contemporaries, Brusiloff's enormous
musical talent was equaled only by his insatiable urge to play
practical jokes. Learn of the ups and downs of his career, listen to
rare broadcast transcription discs and view early sound film footage
that show off both Brusiloff's virtuosic playing and his unique humor.
