| At the time Dr. Kvam became interested in the Violin Octet he was the Head of the Music Department |

| acoustics in Europe. He was very much interested in the Octet instruments, particularly the baritone and |
| tenor since he was a trained cellist. He was one of the referees in the first composer contest for the |
| octet instruments and put on a concert using several of the winning pieces. (See photos in file) |
