A.C. TAYLOR.

These young ladies (as will be seen from criticisms annexed) have
created a great sensation wherever they have appeared; and, it being
the intention of their father (who accompanies them) to take them to
Europe to perfect them in their art, he has been induced, at the
request of numerous friends, to make a tour through the principal
cities of America, to afford the musical public and those anxious to
hear these truly wonderful artists of the colored race an opportunity
of hearing them, and judging for themselves. The music they sing is
always of the highest order, and their selections are from the most
difficult and classical pieces that have been sung by the most
accomplished artists.

MR. WALLACE KING (tenor) possesses a fine voice of splendid quality
and great compass, which he uses with marked skill, and is especially
adapted to music of dramatic character.

MR. JOHN LUCA (baritone) is also the possessor of a splendid voice,
and sings in admirable style, both in songs and concerted music.

MR. A.C. TAYLOR (pianist and accompanist). This gifted artist, besides
being an excellent accompanist, is also a solo-player of great
promise. He has had the honor of playing before the most critical
audiences of New York and Boston; and it is predicted by our leading
musicians he will rank with the first pianists of the day.]

As will be seen by the comments drawn from the press, which have been
already and which will be hereafter given, Mr. Hyers's statements of
the artistic merits of his company were by no means exaggerated.

Their performances in the city of New York and in other parts of the
State drew large, cultivated, and enthusiastic audiences, and were, to
use the words of one writer, considered "a revelation."

Thus spoke "The New-York Evening Post:"--

"The Hyers sisters are colored, and, to the musical
instincts of their race, have added careful musical
training. Miss Anna Hyers possesses a flexible voice of
great compass, clear and steady in the higher notes. Miss
Emma, the contralto, has a voice of great power and depth;
qualities which, in impassioned strains, give it a richness
not often heard in chamber concerts.

"The gem of the evening was the 'Miserere' scene from 'Il
Trovatore,' which was skilfully rendered by the sisters,
Miss Emma singing the tenor part with very fine effect.
