Coming to Exeter
Next eek
Dr. Alfred Hollins, England's Famous
Blind Organist and Composer will give a Recital in
James St. United Church, Exeter
Wednesday, October 2ist, at 8 pe i1JV:a
Music lovers of this community
are to be affored another great
musical treat. When it was el:Arned
that Dr. Alfred Hollins of Edin-
burgh, the famous English•blind or-
ganist was coming to London, the
officials of James St. wondered if
it would be possible to secure his
services at the sante timeh., e was
corning to London and consequently
wired to New York to see if he had
an open date. Fortunately they
were able to secure him for Wed-
nesday evening. Only the fact that
he is coining to London makes it
possible for Exeter to secure such.
a man of outstanding merit and
musical ability.'
The magnificent organ of James
St. church is well known through-
out this community and its possibil-
ities are.., to be demonstrated by a
master musician.
.The Toronto Globe on Wednesday
says: "Alfred Hollins of Edin-
burgh, celebrated blind English 'or-
gan virtuoso and composer) who is
now touring this contenent, made
his only 'Toronto .appearance last
night at Olcl St. Andrew's church
before a large audience, which in-
cluded many of the clay's leading
musicians.' The skill of suck a pre-
eminent master is, of course, be-
yond praise.
Albert Hollins, England's famous
blind organist and composer,' was
born in: Hull, England, in 1865. Al-
though horn blind, the yottng boy
never permitted this infirmity to af-
fect his sonny disposition or to
darken the earliest purpose of his
life, which at a very earlyage, be -
carne 'a determination to be' a .ntttsi
elan. Young 'Rollins was sent to
the Wilberforce Institution for the
Blind at the age of nine, when he
began to study the organ. At 12
he entered the Royal Norman Col-
lege for the BIind at Upper Norwood
when he added the piano, to his
studies. Later the famous Dr. E. J.
Hopkins took him as an organ. pupil.
So rapid was his progress on both in-
struments that he played one of
Beethoven's piano concerts with or-
chestra at the Crystal palace.
Played for Queen
At the age of 16 he played for
Queen Victoria at Windsor castle.
Playing for royalty became a habit
with Alfred Hollins, for he has also
performed before the king and queen
of the Belgians at Brussels and for
tixe late Empress Frederick at Ber-
lin, where lie triumphantly perform-
ed. three piano concerts, by Beeth-
oven, Schumann and Liszt.
At 19 Hollins secured his first
professional appointment as organ-
ist of St. John's church, Redhill.
At 20 he came before the public as
a;u"concert organist of high attairx-
uaents, through his recitals at the
Invention's exhibition at Kensington.
At the close of a recital at Liver-
pool, the late W. T. Best, in intro-
ducing Hollins to the audience re-
ferred to him as "Alfred the Great"
Secure in the position thus achiev-
ed Hollins began a series of concert
tours which were eventually to take
him almost around the world.
In 1886 he calve to America with
a quartet of performers from tho
Royal college, his masterly attain -
'netts as a pianist and organist malt-
ing a deep impression. in New York,
Boston and other cities,
More study in Germany; followed
under the famous von Buelow. In
1888 a second American tour as or-
ganist followed, with gratifying suc-
cess. Then carie a period of nine
years as professor of organ and
piano at the. Royal Normal college,
during which time he also held a
number of important church posts.,
Hollins then made three tours to
South Africa, where he dedicated the
huge organ in the town .ball at Jo-
hannesburg, and tours to New Zeaa.
land and Australia, where he gave
recitals on the famous organ at
Sydney town hall. In addition lie
concertized continually in England,
Scotland and Wales, and sinee 1.897'
has been organist of the United Pree
St, George's church at Edinburgh, a
church which has furnished Am-
erica with a number of her mesh
fainting Protestant preachers.
In 1922 Hollins received the hon-
orary degree of doctor of music
from Edinburgh university. As a '
composer he is widely know for hie
charming compositions for organ
piano, voice and orchestra. His'
present American,, tour i.s under the
