“First appearance of the celebrated Organist this season, Mr. G. W. Morgan.”
"At the usual Sunday popular concert to be given to-morrow night, Mlle. Pauline Canissa will make her first apperance, as well as Mr. G. W. Morgan, the celebrated organist."
“Musical. The Sunday concert at Steinway Hall last evening showed no abatement in the popular appreciation of these incomparable musical entertainments. The usual orchestra and Carl Rosa were materially aided on the occasion by the great American organist, George W. Morgan, and a promising soprano, Mlle. Pauline Canissa, who made her debut on the occasion. The last mentioned artist was received with well deserved applause by the large audience, and displayed powers which prognosticate success in the concert hall. Her voice is of good quality and well trained, and we hope to hear her again this season in public. Mr. Morgan’s reappearance at these concerts amounted to an ovation. Rosa was the true artist, as ever, and the orchestra excellent, as might be anticipated.”
“Music. At Sunday’s concert, Madame Pauline Canissa, well known as the pretty soubrette of the German Opera some years ago, appeared with success, which her clear, sprightly, though not forcible soprano, justified. Mr. G. W. Morgan’s characteristic organ discourse was well received.”
