Lillie Berg

Berg studied under Sigmund Lebert, Immanuel Faisst, and Ludwig Stark, and graduating from the Royal School of Music in Stuttgart, she became a teacher of piano and composition.

Berg was well versed in philosophy, art, history, poetry, political science and social culture, traveled extensively, and could speak five languages with fluency.

Her precociousness caused such musical authorities as Julius Benedict and Emma Albani to advise her to devote her attention to her voice, predicting for her a brilliant future.

[6] In the United States, she held the position of the foremost exponent of the Lamperti school and she studied every season with the famous artists and great teachers of Europe.

[6] Among these were Teresa Brambilla, Pauline Vaneri Filippi, Julius Stockhausen, Hermine Küchenmeister-Rudersdorf, Mathilde Marchesi, and Enrico Delle Sedie, of Paris, William Shakespeare and Alberto Randegger.

[7] In 1888, returning again from Europe, Berg resumed her lessons in Voice Building and in the Art of Singing, at her residence, 17 East 31st Street, New York City.

[10] The Musical Courier of October 1895 reported that Berg had just returned from a four months' tour in Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany and Austria.
