"Albert F. Mando, director of the Mando-Mozart Conservatory of Music at 2195 Madison Avenue, New York, died Friday at his home in that city. Mr. Mando was the most distinguished negro teacher and leader of music in the United States. At his conservatory he taught piano, organ, violin, violoncello, vocal and orchestral music and other forms of the musical art. He was the conductor of the Conservatory Sextette and Concert Orchestra. Professor Mando was born in Lansingburgh, and he made annual visits to this city to visit relatives and numerous friends. He possessed many excellent qualities and his career, in which he by his own efforts attained prominence, is worthy of praise."

"Prof. Albert F. Mando, director of the Mando Mozart Conservatory of Music, 2105 Madison avenue, died Friday, October 10, at 4.45 p.m. after five days illness. He had been working very hard of late and was weakened so that when pneumonia set in his physical system was not strong enough to overcome its onslaught. Prof. Mando was 50 years old, and had been a resident of New York for forty-four years. The funeral services were at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, October 15, from his late residence, with the Rev. W. R. Lawton officiating. J.C. Thomas had charge of the funeral.
"The funeral party left the city at midnight Tuesday, going to Troy, N.Y., the interment being at Schaghticoke Cemetery.
"Prof. Mando was born in Schaghticoke, N.Y., living there until he was nine years old, when his family moved to Lansingburg, or what is now Upper Troy. Here he attended school, graduating from the academy, and here he studied the piano under Miss Attwood of Lansingburg.
"He came to New York in 1868, coming under the influence and tutelage of the great Negro violinist, John T. [sic - Henry] Douglass. From Prof. Douglass he inculcated those high ideals which were to shape his entire musical life, and which caused him to place his musical standards upon the highest plane. He was never a disciple of the latter day school of popular and syncopated music, but gave his thought and effort to an interpretation of the works of the masters—the classics of all time. This ideal was in turn transmitted to his pupils.
"Thirteen years ago he established the Mando Mozart Conservatory of Music at 2105 Madison avenue, and he had developed this school to a point where it was a commendable factor in the musical life of Greater New York. At the time of his death sixty-five pupils were enrolled in the different departments of the conservatory. Plans mapped out by Prof. Mando would have been completed within the next few years and he had a strong desire to live to see their completion. A task to which he had given his best effort was the preparing of an address to be delivered on Thanksgiving Day this year before the St. James Lyceum. In this address he proposed treating of the lives of John T. Douglass and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and their accomplishments as Negro musicians and composers. This address would have been accompanied by selections from the works of both composers.
"Prof. Mando's body lay in state in the studio of the conservatory, and hundreds of his former pupils, friends and acquaintances came in to pay the last tribute of respect. Deceased leaves to mourn his departure a widow, one sister, Mrs. Jane Trice, who is 76 years old, and quite ill, and two cousins.
"The work of the conservatory will probably be carried on by Mrs. Mando, who will take charge of the piano classes, and in the other departments she will have the assistance of musicians fully qualified to maintain the standards established by Prof. Mando.
