              <text>Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger performed together in public only twice, using their fame for a cause. In 1916 they joined forces for fundraising concerts to support the Field Ambulance for the Allies in the United States. The concerts featured the stars alternating in performances of some of their most popular music, including Grainger playing his own ‘Shepherd’s Hey’ and Melba singing ‘Addio’ from La Bohème. For each concert, Melba was accompanied by a pianist using a Mason &amp; Hamlin piano, while Grainger performed on a piano provided by his sponsor, the Steinway Piano Company.</text>
