one-man good-will delegation.
The piano virtuoso was born
in Fajardo, Puerto Rico in 1903.
As a child, Sanroma's gifts were
so outstanding that the govern
ment of Puerto Rico sent him, at
13, to the New England Conser
vatory in Boston.
At 16, he was graduated with
honors, winning the Mason and
Hamlin prize of a grand •piano.
After touring the country as ac
companist to Jacques Thibaud, he

and with Alfred .Cortot in Paris.
