ESTHER COLEMAN (contralto)
HERBERT HEYNER (baritone)
Esther Coleman was born at Hampstead. While at school she learnt to play the piano and organ, and then, after hearing Dora Labbette sing, she decided she would herself become a singer. Six years' hard study at the Guildhall School of Music equipped her for what was to be a remarkable career.
Miss Coleman gave her first recital at Wigmore Hall in 1924, went on tour for the British Music Society, r.nd sang with the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra under Sir Dan Godfrey. Since that time Miss Coleman has attained a foremost place in the world of singing, having broadcast many hundreds of times in England and France.
