Bateman and Harrison Wednesday Popular Concert: 10th

"To-night the ninth of Mr. Harrison's Wednesday popular concerts will be given at Steinway Hall. Miss Nettie Sterling makes her first appearance at these concerts. Mr. J.W. Hill, Mr. G.W. Colby and Mr. Theodore Thomas's orchestra, will also perform."

Brief. "This evening, Miss Nettie Sterilng will give a Concert at Steinway Hall, assisted by the tenor Hill and Mr. Thomas's orchestra."

“The popular concert at Steinway Hall last evening was very numerously attended. The orchestral selections comprised the overture to the Merry Wives of Windsor, the familiar pot-pourri from L’Africaine, ‘La Coquette Waltz,’ the ‘Lafayette Galop,’ and a new composition, the ‘Papagano Polka,’ in which the birdcatcher’s ear-taking solo in Mozart’s Zaüberflöte [sic] is rhythmically adapted to the requirements of dancing music. Mr. W. J. Hill and Miss Nettie Sterling were the vocalists, the former singing ‘I’ll Hold Thee in Remembrance’ and Hatton’s ‘Good by [sic], Sweetheart,’ and the latter rendering ‘The Three Fishers,’ and one of Bellini’s cavatinas. Frequent allusion to the merits of both these artists render comment upon the excellence of their respective performances superfluous. Mr. Heindel gave a Zither solo, and Mr. Colby acted as the accompanist throughout the evening.”

“Miss Nettie Sterling sang at the last Wednesday popular concert, and created a genuine success. The lady has a full, rich, sonorous, contralto voice, the quality of which can scarcely by surpassed. She sings with taste and feeling. We know of no better artiste for the concert room.”
