HBH 1892 August 13 2 BURVETT Miss Alice Sydney BURVETT, the world renowned pianiste, is announced to give her first and positively grand performance in NAPIER in the Theatre Royal next week, the date to be notified in a future advertisement. A Wellington contemporary refers to the gifted pianiste in the following terms: - "Miss Alice Sydney BURVETT, of whom a great deal has been heard in this colony of late, made her debut before a Wellington audience last evening, in a programme every item of which was performed by herself. Her confident and powerful air as she sat down to the instrument and dashed into the brilliant music of Beethoven's Waldstein sonata at one informed the audience that she was an excecutionist of the very highest skill, and as piece succeeded piece this was made more and more manifest. The items of the programme were such as very few performers would dare to attempt, and the execution of them by Miss BURVETT was simply magnificent-more brilliant playing there could not be. We confess we have hardly seen any pianiste who had the same facility for playing brilliant pieces, certainly none who, with so much power, possessed so much personal grace and ease at the instrument."
