Jump to
Ruth Stuber Jeanne (née Stuber; b. 13 May 1910, Chicago; d. 6 Apr. 2004, Newark, Ohio) was an American marimbist, percussionist, violinist, and arranger. On April 29, 1940, at Carnegie Hall, she and Orchestrette Classique, an all female orchestra, premiered the Concertino for Marimba and Orchestra by American composer Paul Creston, who was present. Creston wrote Concertino for Stuber and dedicated it to the orchestra's director, Frédérique Petrides (pronounced pe TREE dis), who asked Creston to compose it. The 1940 program note stated that Concertino was then "the only work ever written for this instrument in serious form." Jeanne was a tympanist with Orchestrette Classique.
