Miss Percy, R.A.M. – This accomplished artiste, whose parents reside at St Mary’s Hill, and who will be well remembered in this town, where she has on many occasions performed upon the pianoforte before large audiences, has recently gone to reside at Adelaide, in South Australia. Speaking of her performance at a grand concert given at the Glenelg Institute there, one of the Papers says- “The concert was distinguished by the first appearance in South Australia of a celebrated pianiste, Miss Ada Percy, R.A.M., a pupil of Sir Julius Benedict. She opened the programme with a fantasia from Weber’s ‘Der Freischutz,’arranged by Jules Benedict, and her precision of score and lightness and rapidity of touch soon evidenced that the high reputation she bears is well merited.”
