Hélène Dolmetsch
(born: 1878 died: 1924)
A fine performer on the viola da gamba and the cello, one of her most noted pupils was the Australian-born cellist Joyce Sands
Elodie Désirée Dolmetsch
(born: 1869 died: ----)
Elodie, born Elodie Désirée Franche Lelong, was formerly married to Arnold's brother Edgard (in English, Edgar) and a fine performer on the harpsichord. She and Edgard married in Avesnes, France on 1 Oct. 1887. Following her divorce, made absolute on 19 Sep. 1903, from her second husband, Arnold Dolmetsch, she returned to France and enjoyed some success as a harpsichordist and singer in Paris, having reverted to her maiden name of Elodie Lelong.
Mabel Johnston
(born: 1874 died: 1963)
Born the 13th child in a family of fourteen, Mabel Johnston was the daughter of a well-to-do Scottish insurance broker who had settled south of the border. They lived in Denmark Hill in a large house set in its own grounds with lawns, fountains and all the accompanying luxuries synonymous with late-Victorian middle-class prosperity. Her father, probably as a result of him organising his own further education, saw to it that all his children had the broadest academic and cultural training. Mabel was fluent in both French and Italian which was a distinct advantage with Dolmetsch to whom she applied in June 1896 for a position as violin student and apprentice musical instrument-maker. One of her brothers was the famous African explorer and colonial adminstrator Sir Harry Johnston after whom the okapi is named.
