Emilio de Gogorza, the distinguished
baritone who VIII be heard in concert
at the armory on Monday evening,
February the seventh, is a native of
Brooklyn, N. Y, although at an early
age he was taken abroad. His family
history is noble one, his mother be-
longing TO the aristocratic Spanish
family of Navarate. He is also a rel
ative to some of the noblest and best
families of the English peerage. He
was educataed in Paris, at the Eccle
Nonge, and at an exclusive private
school near Windsor, England 1t was
At the latter place he Joined churen
choir where the former Mary Anderson
often came to hear the brilliant young
singer, at which time the two formed
deep friendship that has lasted till
this day. On his return to America in
tne early '90s, Mr.. Gogorza studied un-
der Moderati and Agromonte, both Of
New York. Later he went to Paris

brated masters, and was fortunate in

Emile Bourgeois, singing master of the
Opera Comique, and in some instances
with the composers themselves. The
natural quality of Mr.. Gogorza s voice
is very beautiful and to this he brings
an unusual intelligence in his interpre.
tations. He has muen temperament, q
great amount of magnetism and most
delightful manner. His linguistic abil-
ity is of great value and he sings in
English, French, Italian and German
with equal fmency. With the rich en-
dcwments which nature has so gener-
ously bestowed on him, and with an un-
usual amount of ambition, Gogorza has
become one OF the greatest artists of
the day.
