Kirksmith Sisters

Location:
Date:
The sisters number six, the smallest of which is the accompanist. She sits at the piano during the entire turn until the end when she moves to the orchestra pit to lead from there. They employ a violin, flute, cornet and saxophone. They divide the repertoire into solos and ensembles. Four of the girls also do very well singing, one in particular has ample opportunity to showcase her lovely soprano voice.
The girls could add a bit of liveliness to the act as it is too quiet throughout. A bright selection or two near the beginning and a more rousing finish is needed. With a twenty minute act the sextet could find themselves on any bill.
