Josie Pujol (born around 1900) was a Cuban violinist who performed in Cuba, Canada, and the United States as a young woman.
Josephine "Josie" Pujol played violin from youth. She finished her studies at the Conservatorio Peyrellade in Havana in 1916, [1] with further studies in New York. [2] Her sisters Clotilde and Teresa were also musicians. [3] [4]
Josephine Pujol played violin as a church accompanist in Asbury Park, New Jersey, in 1918. [5] She played violin solos at concerts in Asbury Park in 1919. [6] [7] In 1920 Pujol earned good reviews in Havana [8] for her recitals with soprano Marguerite Ringo. [9] The following season, she played a charity benefit concert in Montreal, [10] with tenor Merlin Davies [11] and soprano Edith de Lys, [12] in Burlington, Vermont, [13] and Glen Ridge, New Jersey. [14] "The young Cuban violinist has a warm singing tone, the worth of which is enhanced by much technical proficiency and by that blending of emotional force and self-restraint which distinguishes the true artist," commented one reporter in 1920. [13]
She toured the American South in spring 1921, making her way back to Cuba. [15] In 1922, she was back in New York, playing at the annual benefit for the Blind Men's Improvement Club at Aeolian Hall. [16] [17]
