              The Harmony Concert Co.



Here is a combination of vocal and instrumental artists whose brilliant achievements in the realm of harmony leave nothing to be imagined.  The versatility of the Harmony Concert Company is truly remarkable.  Each performance is a succession of surprises, diversely appealing to the emotions, and keeping the audience fascinated throughout.  The individual talent displayed is, without exception, of a high order, and the solo numbers are especially enjoyable.  They have unerring judgment in deciding what the people like, and possess the ability to give it to them.  Certainly no concert company is in greater demand or gives higher satisfaction.

Every number of the program was most thoroughly enjoyed, and the large attendance at this first entertainment has shown that the course will be a great success.—

The concert given in the Methodist Church last evening, by the Harmony Concert Company was greatly appreciated by the large audience.  The young ladies are first class performers and their selections were finely rendered.—

The Harmony Concert Company drew a large audience at the high school concert, and that the performance was pleasing was evidenced by the fact that nearly every number was encored.  The Kirksmith sisters, with violins and flute, made beatiful [sicbeautiful] harmony, being artistically accompanied upon the piano by Miss Daisy Higgins.  The high school lecture and entertainment course is increasing in interest and patronage.—

The fourth number in the lecture course for this season was a marked success, as was evident by the encores demanded by the audience for each of the twelve numbers on the program of the Harmony Concert Company.  These ladies render an evening's entertainment in which the voice, violin, flute, viola and piano are used to advantage in solos, duets and quartettes, presenting such a variety of numbers that each is awaited with a new interest; and the personnel of the company represents a standard of efficiency that permits an entertainment of merit.—

Miss Maud Kirksmith is an artist on the violin, and was warmly applauded by her audience.  Miss Lillian Kirksmith's flute solos were a revelation of how that instrument should be played.  Miss Gertrude Kirksmith is the

 possessor of a trained soprano voice and is also an accomplished viola player.  Miss Daisy Higgins, the contralto of the quartette, has an exceptionally powerful voice, and her solo selections are especially appreciated.  The entertainment was the best musical number of this season's course, and the company was one of the best concert organizations ever before a Sandy Lake audience.—

The second of the series of entertainments in the People's Popular Entertainment course was given in Central Hall on Tuesday evening.  The attraction was the Harmony Concert Company.  Nearly every number of the program was heartily encored, and the young ladies responded in a liberal manner.  They showed exceptional ability as musicians.  Sweet faces and sweet music make a combination that is irresistible, and the old critics who were present admitted that while music hath charms, some musicians have also.—

They gave a program of the usual length, but it seemed as if the audience could not get enough of this excellent entertainment, and encore after encore was the result.  To say which number on the program, or which of the artists most pleased the audience, would be rather difficult, for all carried the audience by storm.  Miss Daisy Higgins' rich contralto in the solo part of 
Uncle Ned
 certainly showed that she was possessed of a rare voice supplemented by a rare training.  Miss Lillian Kirksmith captured the audience with her flute solo, and Miss Maud Kirksmith handled the bow with the dexterity and sensitive touch of

 a master hand, while Miss Gertrude Kirksmith charmed her hearers with her rich soprano.—

Despite the inclement weather a large audience greeted them, and while each number of the course has been exceedingly well received the entertainment last evening, according to popular opinion, was the very best of the very good entertainments of the season.  They were truly 
Harmony Ladies,
 and their sweet voices, harmonious strains of music, and charming personalities will linger long in the minds of our people.  From the time of the rising of the curtain until the finale the audience was entranced, and each member of the company was greeted with rounds of applause.  The violin, the most difficult of all instruments to master, responded to the deft touch of Misses Gertrude and Maud Kirksmith, and strains of most exquisite music filled the house.  Miss Lillian Kirksmith, in a truly professional manner, rendered beautiful selections on the flute, and Miss Daisy Higgins, contralto and accompanist, added much to the evening's entertainment.—

Seldom, if ever, has a Norwich audience had the pleasure of listening to a better concert than that given by the Harmony Company, Wednesday evening.  The entertainment was an extra one in the Y. M. C. A. Star series and the selection of talent certainly reflected much credit upon the management.  No higher praise for the Harmony ladies is required than the simple statement that, with the exception of two numbers, every selection was encored, and several times the artist was required to make a third appearance.  If one number were to be selected out of so many excellent ones as especially deserving of notice, it is probable that the majority of those present would select the violin solo given by Miss Maud Kirksmith.  The selection was 
Martha,
 and gave Miss Kirksmith an opportunity to display her thorough knowledge of music, as well as excellent technique.

The Harmony Concert Co.

The Harmony Concert Company touched a responsive chord in the hearts of our music lovers.  It is a rare combination of vocal and instrumental artists, with marked versatility.  In addition to their musical talent, the young ladies possess a charm of personality which at the opening of the concert captivated the audience.  The popularity of this number in the course was evidenced by the fact that every seat in the parquet had been secured in advance, while all the reserved seats in the gallery were occupied.—
