“Musical…A large and most appreciative audience was present at St. Peter’s Catholic church, Barclay street (Rev. Father Quinn’s) last evening, the occasion being the third of the annual concerts given at this church. The vocalists were the regular choir of the church, with Signor Lotti and Mr. Steins. Mrs. Easton was the soprano, Miss Henne the contralto, Signor Lotti the tenor and Mr. Steins the basso soloist. The programme comprised selections from Haydn, Rossini, Mendelssohn, Mercadante, Gordigiani, Concone, Clapison, and Megri [sic]. Signor Lotti rendered the Cujus Animam, from the Stabat Mater very sweetly, and an Ave Maria by Gordigiani, sung by Miss Henne, was given with much artistic skill. Mrs. Easton sang charmingly (as she always does); her solo part being a soprano excerpt from Concone’s ‘Judith.’ A Salve Regina, quartet and chorus—Mrs. Easton, Miss Henne and Messrs. Reichart and Staud composing the former—was a sweetly concerted rendering, and gave eminent satisfaction. Mr. Wm. F. Pecher presided at the organ, which instrument he manipulated with his usual skill and excellent judgment.”
