THE   PR INGLE   CONCERT   COMPANY
IN the Pringle Concert Company the management feels assured that it is presenting an organization of artists that will meet with immediate and favorable recognition. When one concert company carries three sisters whose talents amount to positive genius, its success must be phenome¬nal. Miss Agnes Pringle, the violinist, has, by her artistic and sympa¬thetic work, attracted the commendation and unstinted applause of musicians and miscellaneous audiences. Miss Jessie Pringle has a beautiful soprano voice and musicianly interpretation. Miss Lillian Pringle has made an enviable reputation among musicians who expect to see her the greatest woman 'cellist in the world. Mr. Charles Logan Polk is a musician of marked ability, with a tenor voice that never fails to please. The management is confident that, in selecting this company, it will be able to give to the larger and smaller cities a program that will please both the critical and popular taste. Each of the three young women is a soloist of marked ability, and their ensem¬ble playing will be one of the most charming features of the program, which will include violin, 'cello, soprano, tenor solos, instrumental trios, and vocal duets, and will be further enriched by 'cello and violin obligatos. It is seldom that such a strong combination is effected as in the Pringle Concert Company, and the management offers it with every assurance of its permanent success.
Miss Agnes Pringle, Violinist
Miss Agnes Pringle is perhaps the best known girl violinist in the United States, having toured the country with leading con¬cert companies for the past six years. Yet wherever her fame has preceded her, the demure little artist has found her audiences entirely unprepared for the maturity and scholarly finish of her work. The marvel¬ous success which she has met with in all the prominent cities is only the just reward of genius. Her work bears the stamp of the virtuoso, and no one who has listened to her splendid tones, or enjoyed her musi¬cianly interpretation, wonders at the success which has crowned her efforts from the beginning.
Chicago Times-Herald—She has taste and finish in execution to a remarkable degree, and to these adds a breadth and power of tone, a wonderful depth of feeling and fine technique. Musical Courier, New York City—Miss Agnes Pringle did excellent work in the Bazzini Concerto. Her bowing is absolutely perfect, and her wrist movement a lesson in itself.

Miss Lillian Pringle, ‘Cellist
Miss Lillian Pringle, the youngest of the trio, is known to leading musicians as the most marvelous girl 'cellist of this country. Thee minent musician and director, Mr. Adolph Rosenbecker, has pro¬nounced her the greatest musical genius of the age. When we take into consideration the instrument she has chosen and mastered, it borders on the incom¬prehensible. Technical difficulties simply do not exist for her, but her chief power with an audience lies in the beautiful sympathetic tone she produces from her rare old Bergonzi instrument, which speaks to the heart like the human voice in song, and stamps her as one of the greatest performers on this most divine instrument. Her repertoire is practi¬cally unlimited, and her interpretation of the most difficult works in the 'cello literature are character¬ized by wonderful temperament, breadth of tone and expression.

extraordinary talent and wonderful progress of becoming one
of the world's greatest 'cellists.

breath of conception and a mastery of execution rarely found

Miss Jessie Pringle, Pianist
Miss Jessie Pringle, the soprano and accompanist is a pianist of note and unusually gifted. Before she was fourteen she had won a medal at the Chicago Musical College, and while still in her teens was recognized by professional musicians of Chicago as an unusually gifted piano soloist with that rare talent for accompanying that made her in great demand for this work. She possesses a pure soprano voice, which with careful training and study has developed great brilliancy and power, and her expe¬rience as an accompanist, in addition to her great natural talent, gives her unusual interpretative powers.
