Except to the few who were present at
the concert of Friday night and those whc
have been privileged 10 meet her in pri.
vate, il is not known hat in the person OF
FilOmeno we nave in Memphis a musical
prodigy child in years, but an artist in
experience and culture. Never since we
heard Camille UrsO have we listened to
anything like her performance on the
violin. In her hands it almost ceases to
be a mere instrumental becomes a soul,
a spirit, uttering weird expressions in
widest cadence, sometimes sOftening
into wOOing tones of love; but always dis
coursing thoughts upon themes such as
only genius can interpret, such as en-
trance the listener and transports him be-
yOnd the realms of everyday reality.
FiloEenO was born to be a violinist.
With a soul capable of approaching the
highest form OF music, it was her destiny
to become a musician. She could not
have been anything else, and being that,
forced to express that which she felt, she
selected that instrument, which of all
others, is susceptible of every
degree Of emotion, and which
alone can tell the tale of human
sentiment, passion and love. She selected
the violin, while yet a remarkable pianist
and a recognized celebrity in her PARKWAY
Chilisn home. Under the care of her
parents she found her way to Paris, and
there graduated with honor from the
most noted and the best violin school in
the world. Since that event, day made
memorable to her by the presentation to
] her ofthe pet violin of her master, she has
astonished the world by her performances,
everywhere making ~cOnquests, and always
achieving greatest reputation among
the nrsJ and best musicians. Here she
has been received by our limited artist
circle with all the ardor Of natures at
tuned, and linked to hers by divine har-
mOny. Every form of expression has
been exhausted by them in thanks for her
kindness in playing for them, and every
term Of endearment been summoned to
convey an affection such only as artists
can feel for each other. Her manners are
agreeable, and are characterized by an in
g-enuousness becoming her genius; but,
Wnen she takes up her violin, all tbs hid
den Impulses Of her heart manifest them
selves, and she entrances by her genius
as much as she charmed by her native
simplicity. Wonderful are her perform
anees. She contents herself not with the
ordinary music of the concert room with
that which catches the ear, but like a true
artist having a mission TO perform, she is
the interpreter Of that only which in
spires and ~cultivates while it gratifys.
We desire that all our people
shall hear this real prodigy, whose
accomplishments as a v~ioIinist are
scarcely superior to those upon
The piano. We want them to hear this child
who can so earnestly speak TO the heart of
the multitude and we want them to hear
