Description
- Lady Maud Warrender (1870-1945), née Ethel Maud Ashley, wife of Vice-Admiral Sir George John Scott Warrender, 7th Bt.
- Lady Warrender, niece of Shelagh’s husband, often performed “theatricals” with her aunt’s sister Daisy at the great aristocratic house parties for King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Daisy was not a competitive performer, and in January 1906, after performing “a musical fantasy of my own composition”, praised Lady Warrender’s singing as “excellent”.
- Renowned for her fine voice (she had once sung a duet with Dame Nellie Melba) and her organisation abilities, “Maudie” in 1903 staged a London performance of Sir Edward Elgar’s Coronation Ode (which includes the famous anthem Land of Hope and Glory) in the presence of the King Edward and Queen Alexandra.
- It was also at her instigation that the English pianist Ethel Liggins (1886-1970) adopted a Polish-sounding name – as was expected from the best musicians of time. She played under the name Ethel Leginska and was later dubbed “The Paderewski of Women Pianists”!
