Smith, Nesta, 1900-1998.
Biographical notes:
Violinist Nesta Smith (1900-1998) taught at the Hull-House Music School and acted as its director from 1943-1967. The Hull-House Music School was founded in 1893 in the world-famous Hull-House settlement house. The school offered a wide array of educational and performance opportunities to poverty-stricken immigrants and their children on the Near West Side of Chicago. Music School activities included private lessons, chamber music classes, choruses, a concert band, and a symphony orchestra. The School earned a local and national reputation for its high standards and quality of instruction. The Music School continued to operate in a new location on the North Side of Chicago after the Hull-House settlement decentralized and moved from its original location.
