MISS WINIFREDE REPP |
Miss
Repp is a singer of "pure lyric voice and
exquisitely charming personality," peculiarly
fitted to the line of work which
she will carry on at the Horner Institute of
Fine Arts, viz.: the coaching of singers in
the repertoire and diction of French and
Italian song.
During a long period
of serious preparation for a conventional
singing career, Miss Repp has been a student
of these two languages and has found her chief
success in recital programs of a national
character. She has conducted an
exhaustive search for novelties in the French
and Italian literature.
|
|
Her repertoire now embraces
several complete programs of songs rarely or
never heard in recitals of the day.Miss Repp
was a long time pupil of William Whitney in
Boston. She lived several years in Rome
and Paris and studies singing and diction with
Adelina Pettini, court singer to the Queen of
Italy, Jeanne Cheron and Elizabeth Thouvenot,
both from the Sorbonne in Paris. |

"A delightful young singer and one of
much artistic merit is Miss Winifrede
Repp. Her voice is one of pure lyric
type. Beside her voice, Miss Repp has an
exquisitely charming personality which she
uses to excellent advantage in her public
performance. In a recent recital she
sang a long and exacting program from the
Italian, French and English with such telling
effect as to mark her for no mean place in the
artistic world of the future." |
