Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the orchestra accompanying the Russian-born Mr, Barere, asked if there was a doctor in the house. A physician came to the stage and Mr. Barere was pronounced dead of a cerebral hemorrhage. . Two members of the orchestra carried Mr. Barere's body off stage.

In respect to his memory we believe this concert should come to an end here.” Silently the hall.

Renowned as one of the greatest piano technicians of his genération, Mr. Barere in 1918 won the coveted Rubinstein award at the Petrograd Conservatory when he was 22.
