1930s College and Early Career

In 1932 Kozuch entered the Chicago Musical College and won, each year, a full scholarship until he received his bachelor degree in 1936.  When Dr. Glenn Dillard Gunn left the college in 1934, Kozuch became a pupil of internationally famed pianist Rudolph Ganz, and under his great teaching the dashing talent of this Polish boy matured into first-rate musicianship.  He received a beloved accolade ... "to the brilliant young pianist and musician Thaddeus Kozuch with every good wish from his friend and teacher Rudolph Ganz" ... when he set forth upon his career several years after graduation from the CMC. 

 

In 1939 Kozuch competed against 30 pianists in a contest conducted by the Adult Education Council in collaboration with the Society of American Musicians. After judging pianists, Artur Rubinstein gave this photo tribute "To Mr. Tadeusz Kozuch as a memento of the beautiful contest, which he completed triumphantly, with sincere wishes".
