Hilda Wilson

[10] She sang at music festivals in other parts of Britain, including those at Chester (1885), Wolverhampton (1886), Leeds (1886, 1889, 1895), Norwich (1887), Bristol (1890), Birmingham (1891, 1894) and Cardiff (1892).

[13] In London, Wilson performed frequently as a soloist with the Bach Choir and the Royal Choral Society, and at concerts at the Crystal Palace.

[14] In 1890 she sang in Beethoven's Choral Symphony for the Philharmonic Society and in 1892 she was the contralto soloist in a performance of Messiah in Westminster Abbey.

After one such recital in 1900 The Times commented: She took part in two Henry Wood Promenade Concerts in 1896, and in 1900 her song "Wheresoe'er You Are" had its first performance during the Last Night of the Proms.

[17] After retiring from the concert platform she devoted herself to teaching, and became president of the West London Conservatoire of Music, an institution created by the Wilson family.
