Introduction

Peter Petrides (1896–1978) In 1931 Frederique Petrides married journalist, Peter Petrides (Petros Agathangelos Petrides; 1896–1978),] who wholeheartedly supported her career, and encouraged her to found the Orchestrette Classique, of which he became the manager and publicist. Frédérique Petrides had learned that, in the 1930s, the only avenue open to women conductors was to establish their own orchestras. And in 1933, she introduced the Orchestrette, an all-women chamber orchestra, which had, based on what was being played, thirty to forty players in the ensemble; and which gave five to six concerts annually in Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, now Weill Recital Hall. For more than forty years, Frédérique Petrides' conducting career was abetted by her husband, journalist, Peter Petrides (1896–1978), who acted as manager and publicist for the concerts.He was born Petros Agathangelos Petrides into a Greek family in Caratepeh, Turkey and grew up in Constantinople. After emigrating to the United States, as a young man, he became a writer for and Managing Editor of the Greek-American newspaper, The National Herald (not to be mistaken for the newspaper of the same name that was established in 1997). " I could never have done [my] work without his continuous help and encouragement...He was a wonderful Publicity Man, full of creative ideas..." Frédérique Petrides
