Maurice Burkhart
Last updated: 21.12.23
p_burkhartm.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (May 2022) be gleaned about Maurice Burkhart from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an American singer who has been featured on 19 works published between 1911 and 1920.
His portrait on the left is taken from Sweet Cider Time, When You Were Mine! (1916) music by Percy Wenrich, words by Joe McArthy and published by Leo Feist, New York, USA.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
