“When we speak of the musical entertainments of the city, at present, we necessarily mean Theodore Thomas’s Terrace Garden Concerts, for these are all that we have, saving the delightful concerts in the Park. It is fortunate that they are so excellent that we need ask for no others, and so varied that one can go every evening and listen to a new programme. There is the usual selection of choice classical music for to-night.”

Review: New-Yorker Musik-Zeitung, 03 August 1867, 824.

The concerts here have been fairly well attended despite the inclement weather at times. Five to six novelties are in the program each night, scores of which Thomas bought during his travels in France and Germany this summer.
