Kerridge presents The Enchanting Irish Soprano MARY O’HARA MARY O’HARA MARY O’HARA MARY O’HARA “Because she has the ability of satisfying both the purist and the popular taste, her concerts will be received with wide acclaim.” Mary O’Hara recently created an indelible impression upon Australian audiences and Australia's newspaper critics as witness the following tributes:— “Mary O’Hara,' 24-year-old Irish Soprano, presented a beguiling recital of traditional Irish and Scottish songs last night. She accompanied herself on a small Irish Harp, with such skilful concealment of the technical perfection required, that the crystalline-toned instrument seemed part of herself. She sang love songs, laments, cheeky little snippets of tunes and wellknown sentimental ditties, all with enchanting ease and artistic integrity. When she was not using Gaelic, her delicious brogue made our common English tongue, both in song and speech, sound exquisitely unfamiliar.” —“The Sydney Sun” “Her high soprano voice, pleasantly produced without obtrusive evidence of the sophisticated vocal grooming that can take folk songs from the folk to give them to the salon, moved through its phases and colours in a way to suggest that this was just how Irish life and nature had made it.” —“Sydney Morning Herald” ‘Singing a mixture of popular and more serious traditional Irish and Scottish songs. Miss O'Hara proved herself an artist of great charm.” —"Sydney Daily Telegraph” "She and her Harp were one united in musical picturisations of romance, comedy, pathos and folk lore that earned repeated encores.” —"Sydney Daily Mirror' ST.
