San Francisco County
ALICE BACON
ALICE BACON, a gifted
musician of San Francisco, bears the honor of being a native daughter. She
showed great musical talent in early childhood, and, under the best local
teachers, devoted herself assiduously to the study of the piano. In 1882 she
went abroad and pursued her studies in Berlin, where she gave a concert in
which she met with the most flattering success. Since her return to San
Francisco, in 1886, she has been engaged in teaching and concert
playing. Her expressive touch, added to fine technique and rare musical
intelligence, render her playing unusually attractive, and she enjoys the
reputation of being one of the most accomplished pianists on the coast.
