The Uittsburgh Ladies Orchestra
WAS organized by Mr. Liefeld in the spring of 1911, has toured ten States (many on re-engagements), playing to great and enthusiastic audiences, and is considered the foremost high-class Ladies Orchestra before the American public.

Carefully built programs are soulfully interpreted and rendered in an artistic, but snappy manner.

On their ten weeks' tour of Illinois and Indiana the past Summer, they played to seventy different communities, and the final word from the management was: YOUR SPLENDID WORK HAS BEEN LAUDED EVERYWHERE BY THE PEOPLE!

Mr. Liefeld's compositions have been performed by Herbert, Sousa, Creatore, Arthur Pryor, and by Mr. Heinroth, Organist and Director of Music at Carnegie Institute; and his patriotic songs have endorsement of Madam Lillian Nordica, Lieut.  Santelmann, Leader U. S. Marine Band, Washington, D. C., Oscar Saenger, N.Y., teacher of famous opera and concert singers, and many other notables.

His new America was sung by the entire audience at Pittsburgh's first great Community Song and Cheer Festival in Memorial Hall, accompanied by the Ladies Orchestra, with Mr. Liefeld at the piano.

A High-Class Concert Attraction which has toured Ten States, playing to Great and Enthusiastic Audiences

The Wooster (O.) Republican
—Mr. Liefeld is a director out of the ordinary and his band of young ladies respond in a remarkable way to his baton.  The program was one made up almost entirely of new selections, and was a delight from start to finish.


New York Musical Courier Binghamton Concert Notes
—A capacity house greeted the members of the Pittsburgh Ladies Orchestra in the Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal Church last evening.  The large audience was lavish in applauding every number.  Albert Liefeld deserves praise for the able manner in which he conducted.


Los Angeles, Cal.
—Bishop Wm. M. Bell, the well-known Lecturer and Social Worker, writes: I have heard the Pittsburgh Ladies Orchestra with great appreciation and delight.  Albert D. Liefeld, as conductor, is the personification of delicate and soulful interpretation.  He and the ladies of the orchestra evidently work under high ideals and worthy motives.  One arises from the privilege of their concert work refreshed, satisfied and inspired.  Long live the P. L. O.


Chicago Y. M. C. A., West Side Dept.
—We have heard more favorable comments on the part of our members regarding the concert by your Pittsburgh Ladies Orchestra than we have heard about any other musical attraction that has ever appeared at our building.—J. L. NELSON, Membership Secy.


Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal Music Notes
—It is such work that raises the musical standards of the time, and the conductor, A. D. Liefeld, who is also a composer of merit, is to be congratulated upon the results he obtained.


Battle Creek (Mich.) Evening News
—The Pittsburgh Ladies Orchestra gave a delightful concert at the Sanitarium last evening, before an audience of music lovers gathered from all over Battle Creek.


The Red Oak (Ia.) Daily Express
—They rendered some of the best orchestral music that has been heard in this city.  The audience was manifestly delighted with the work of the orchestra, the playing of the entire organization as a whole, as well as the solo work, meeting with hearty approval, and every number was enthusiastically applauded.


The Kenton (O.) Daily Democrat
—Their concert furnished a refreshing variety to the program and the audience was content to be entertained after thinking with the big psychologist for nearly two hours.
Mr. Liefeld and Company appeared in many snappy and classy numbers.  The vast audience was brought to its feet with a burst of enthusiasm as at the close of the final selection a little boy, who accompanies the orchestra group, garbed in typical Uncle Sam style, with high silk hat, blue coat and star-dotted trousers, stepped to the edge of the platform and waived aloft a large United States flag as the orchestra struck into the inspiring strain of The Star Spangled Banner, a fitting climax for the excellent program of the evening.



Pittsburgh Leader
—Under the able direction of Mr. Liefeld, their rendition revealed remarkable finesse and artistic skill.


State Journal, Lincoln, Neb.
—The orchestra plays with lots of spirit, presents a lively, well balanced program, and at its first appearance made a lot of friends.  One of the features of the orchestra's program is the composition of the director.


Fostoria (O.) Daily Times
—So much dissatisfaction had been expressed, especially by Fostoria men, that there was no big band this year, that it is a pleasure to state that they need no longer feel disappointed.  The Pittsburgh Ladies Orchestra can fully satisfy their desire for all the noise in well balanced harmony, that they wish.  The gracious personality of Mr. Liefeld is just the thing that puts an audience in the right mood, before he waves his baton.  He gave an exhibition yesterday of the perfect control he has over his company, and the fortissimo rests and forte attacks were a delight to the little folks especially.  Mrs. Liefeld is a capable helpmate at the piano and the little son appears in a role all his own.
