THE WUNDERLE TRIO



MME. WUNDERLE





It affords the Redpath Lyceum Bureau unusual pleasure to present the Wunderle Trio to the music loving public.

Mme. Wunderle's association with the great orchestras and with great soloists, in recitals and on tours, both here and in Europe, has given her an experience that peculiarly fits her for successful Lyceum work.

Mr. Wunderle has also a very enviable record with the world's great musical organizations and has given much time and study to the music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.  Several of his compositions have had a very gratifying sale, notably his American Fantasie, which is so popular with harpists everywhere.

Mr. Williams has been associated with the Knapp Quartet for several seasons and has been with the Wunderle Trio on their recent tours, winning most favorable comment from the critics everywhere.


MR. CARL WUNDERLE
VIOLIN



MR. DAY WILLIAMS
'CELLO




MR. FRANK CROXTON
BASSO





Mr. Frank Croxton, Basso
THE engagements mentioned below include the most desirable to be had in America.  Mr. Croxton has sung for hundreds of clubs of less repute throughout the country, and is engaged as soloist by Madison Avenue M. E. Church of New York City, the wealthiest Methodist Church in America, and incidentally Mr. Croxton is one of three of the highest salaried bassos in America.  He is purely an American product, having done his study with Frank Herbert Tubbs and Oscar Saenger of New York, and Frank H. Webster of Chicago.  The comments from the press will give an idea of Mr. Croxton's work.

As Mephistopheles in Gounod's Faust

Frank Croxton as Mephisto rendered this difficult role with splendid effect.  His voice is of that clear resonant quality which always distinguishes the bass of high quality from the muffled and confined tone of the average basso.—

Haydn's Creation Maine Festival, October, 1905

Croxton, in his singing of the bass part, created a decidedly favorable impression, and he will be welcomed whenever he chooses to visit Maine.—
Correspondent New York Musical Courier.



Orchestral Concert Maine Festival

Frank Croxton was the soloist and did the best work heard so far at the Festival.  He is endowed with a manly, handsome stage presence, a sincere desire to do his best at all times, and a voice unusually fine and telling.—
Correspondent New York Musical Courier.
