A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Sherrington, Jose

by George Grove

SHERRINGTON, Jose, younger sister of Mme. Lemmens-Sherrington, born at Rotterdam Oct. 27, 1850; studied at Brussels under Mad. Meyer-Boulard and Signor Chiriamonte, and soon showed a gift for florid singing, and a very fine shake. In 1871 she appeared in London and the Provinces, under the auspices of her sister. In 1873 made a tour in Holland, and then returned to this country, where she has since established herself as a concert singer, and is in much request. Though gifted with much dramatic talent Miss Jose Sherrington has never appeared in public on the stage. Her voice is a good soprano reaching from A below the stave to E in alt.
