    • An Evening of Music

      ....To Miss Ida Dunke too much praise cannot be given for the perfect and excellent manner in which she acquitted herself. She is certain to become one of Berlin's prima donnas in her future career. She sang "The Violet" in fine style and won the hearts of her hearers, who will always be pleased to welcom her on any future occasion. She responded to the appreciative encore which she received.....

      The Chronicle Telegraph , 29 Aug 1901, p. 4
