Biographical Sketch:
Paul Katz was born in New York City, Nov. 2, 1907, but grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Katz studied
the violin from age five and became an accomplished musician; during the 1920s he was a first
violinist with both the Cleveland and Cincinnati orchestras. In 1933, Katz organized the Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra and held the post of musical director until he retired in 1975.
Paul Katz’s musical studies began in Cincinnati at the College of Music. He then went to the
Conservatory at Ithaca, New York, where he was awarded a scholarship to study the violin under
Otaker Sevcik. He studied with Eugene Yasaye when the Belgian violinist was the conductor of the
Cincinnati Symphony. At fourteen, Dr. Katz was awarded a scholarship by the Julliard Foundation
to continue his studies of the violin under the direction of Leopold Auer. At seventeen, he became
the youngest violinist to be engaged by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In 1931 Dr. Katz was a
student at the American Conservatory in Fontainbleu studying under Nadia Boulanger. That same
year Dr. Katz received a Bachelor of Music degree (in music theory) from the Cleveland Institute of
Music.
In 1933, Dr. Katz returned to Dayton where he organized a chamber music orchestra of twenty-six
players which became the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Under his direction, the Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra established a reputation for presenting the great musical compositions of
the past and present, and for bringing world renowned guest artists to Dayton. Guest artists
including Arthur Rubinstein, Jan Peerce, Isaac Stern, Van Cliburn, and Gregor Piatigorsky,
performed with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.
On July 29, 1934, Paul Katz married Phyllis Margolis. Phyllis was also a musician and would
accompany Dr. Katz’ on the piano. They had one son together, Nevin.
Always concerned with expanding knowledge and developing appreciation of music, Dr. Katz served
as a lecturer, a college professor, and a private violin teacher. He also participated in conducting radio
programs of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performances in order to allow a much larger
audience the opportunity to enjoy the world of music.
Two innovative ideas that Dr. Katz developed centered on young people. He established the Junior
Philharmonic (later known as the Dayton Philharmonic Training Orchestra), the purpose of which
MS-102 Paul Katz Papers 4
was to provide a training ground where capable musicians in the Dayton area are given the opportunity
to perform symphonic compositions under expert direction and leadership.
Early in his career as conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, Dr. Katz pioneered the concept
of Children's Concerts. These concerts by the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra were performed during
the daytime in school auditoriums, at Memorial Hall, and at the University of Dayton Fieldhouse.
The audiences were composed of elementary and high school students from both the public and
parochial school systems from the greater Miami Valley area. Another new touch was added to the
concept of children's concerts when the elementary school orchestras were invited to perform with
the Philharmonic under Dr. Katz's direction. Soloists from the schools were also given the
opportunity to perform.
To encourage composers from the surrounding area, the work of an unknown composer was
included in the regular season concert programs performed by the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 1961, Dr, Paul Katz was awarded two honorary Doctor of Music degrees--one from Central State
University and the other from the University of Dayton.
For forty-two years, Dr. Katz served the community as the Director of the Dayton Philharmonic
Orchestra. In 1975, he became the first Conductor Emeritus of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe honored Dr. Katz by funding the Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe Patron
Concerts. The gift enabled the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra to add one concert to the Orchestra's
regular series each year for ten years. These concerts were then directed by Dr. Paul Katz.
Dr. Katz remained active in the world of music despite his retirement. He served as the director of
the choir for Temple Israel and continued to conduct the Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Joffe
Patron Concerts. He also taught private violin lessons and wrote until his death on August 31, 1989.

Scope and Content:
The collection documents Paul Katz's long career as a musician, composer, teacher, and
conductor. Katz founded the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra (DPO) in 1933, serving as its
Musical Director until he retired in 1975. Papers in this collection include personal
correspondence, a complete set of Dayton Philharmonic concert programs for 1933-1975,
conductor scores, photographs, clippings, speeches, and articles by Katz. Also included are
audiocassette tapes of DPO performances and an interview with Katz. As well as being active in
the DPO for many years, Katz was also active in the community, particularly in the Jewish
community. He was the director of music at Temple Israel, and part of this collection includes
information about this part of his life.
Series I, Biographical Information, 1918-1994, contains personal documents and writings by
Paul Katz, including appointment books, speeches, articles, poetry, and a copy of his own
autobiographical book titled “My 42 Years with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.” Especially
poignant are Katz’s writings on depression written at the end of his life. Notebooks filled during
Katz’s career, include a library of scores, guests, and DPO member lists. Katz also kept duplicate
copies of the “Chamber Orchestra Society” Incorporation, which was the original name of the
Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra founded by Paul Katz in 1933. This series also contains transcripts
of an oral history interview conducted by Charles Berry in 1978 and 1979, as well as articles and
cards following Katz’s death in 1989.
Series II, Correspondence, 1920-1993, is organized chronologically and covers a variety of topics,
including Katz’s performances, his health, and his communications with instrument manufacturers.
Here one can read correspondence between Dr. Katz and artists considering guest performances
with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Some of the artists include: Leonard Rose, Rudolf
Firkusny, Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, and Yehudi Menuhin. Correspondence with some lesser
known artists is also included. Such artists include Leonard Shure, a pianist who played the 1st
movement from a Beethoven Concerto at one of the USO concerts, and Arthur Loesser. Mr.
Loesser was a teacher of the history of music at the Cleveland Institute of Music. He was also an
accomplished pianist. Also of note in this series is a note written by Gregor Piatigorsky which is
MS-102 Paul Katz Papers 8
addressed "To Patty" and talks about her ability to keep Nevin (Paul Katz's son) occupied. It
contains a handwritten ditty by Piatigorsky about Nevin Katz.
Series III, Conductor Scores and Sketches by Katz, 1920-1981, contains scores by various
composers, with two scores and five sketches notably by Paul Katz. Also included are several
miniature scores, and finally, a run of conductor scores alphabetized by composer's last name. The
scores were kept with the collection because they contain "working notes" written by Dr. Katz
which explain his interpretation of the individual pieces. One item of particular interest is the
"Variations on L'Amour De May for grand orchestra" written by Mr. Maurice Baron. This
composition has been autographed with a note addressed to Dr. Katz by Maurice Baron. See Series
VI for oversize scores.
Series IV, Photographs, circa 1917-1980, is divided into two subseries. Subseries A: Personal,
includes photographs of Paul Katz and his wife, Phyllis, taken and signed by renowned Dayton
photographer Jane Reece. The personal photographs feature Katz conducting and at volunteer
events. Subseries B: Guest Artists, consists of autographed photographs of guest artists who
performed with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Most of the Photographs in this latter category
have been copied by Wright State University and the originals were returned to Dr. Katz. The
photographs are organized alphabetically by the artist's last name. There are also photographs of
interest in Series VI: Oversized Collection.
Series V, Personal Concert Programs, 1919-1975, contains programs dating back to Katz’
childhood. The concert programs were collected from performances featuring Dr. Katz as an artist
(violin), performances featuring Dr. Katz's musical compositions, concerts where Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra performed in guest appearances (Springfield, Wright State University Artist
Series, etc.), and foreign concert programs where Dr. Katz was the guest conductor. The material is
arranged alphabetically according to topic.
Series VI, Oversized Collection, 1939-1987, includes oversize photographs, seven oversize
conductor scores, a Dayton Philharmonic promotional poster from 1960, and awards.
Series VII, Audio Recordings, 1939, circa 1950-1988. The sound recordings are in the form of
record albums, audiocassettes, and electronic files. The record albums are listed first, followed by
the audiocassettes. Although arranged chronologically, the audiocassettes can be grouped into three
categories. The first are tapes of Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra concert performances recorded
and narrated by WHIO radio. Researchers can access the concert programs in Series IX Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Programs, for a list of pieces performed during the concert, but
be aware not all pieces listed in the program were recorded on the audiotapes due to contractual
agreements with WHIO. A second category of recordings are of Dr. Paul Katz playing the violin
while accompanied on the piano by his wife, Phyllis Katz. The third category of content are oral
history interview tapes of Dr. Katz and Phyllis Katz. The interview tapes were prepared under the
direction of Dr. Charles Berry. They are part of an oral history project designed to document those
individuals and the processes involved in developing the cultural scene in Dayton, Ohio.
Transcripts of the interviews are available in Series I: Biographical Information.

Most of the recordings are on audiocassette tapes. However, some of the tapes have been digitized,
which are noted in the inventory with an e-item number, similar to ms102_e0001. When requesting
electronic files, please provide the e-item number and the file description for access.
Series VIII Newspaper Clippings, 1924-1994, covers a variety of topics. The clippings preserved
on microfilm located in the reading room, date 1917-1927, 1929-1931, 1933-1970, 1972, 1977. In
addition, the collection contains original clippings featuring Paul Katz as an artist (child prodigy),
awards given to Dr. Katz, reviews of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performances and other
performances conducted by Dr. Katz, as well as articles on Temple Israel. A special Dayton Daily
News feature on Dayton Philharmonic’s 60th anniversary in 1994 is located in oversize.
Series IX Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Programs, 1931-1976, contains the
Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra concert programs originally owned by Dr. Paul Katz, however there
are occasional gaps. However, information on the next concert is given toward the back of each
program, which can help fill in some gaps. Please note that MS-314 Dayton Philharmonic
Orchestra Records also contains concert programs. Dr. Katz was the director of the Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra. The programs span the first through the forty-second seasons of this
distinguished group.
