Program Details

The citations bill this event as the "Ninth Grand [Sacred] Sunday Concert," which was a subset of the Popular Garden Concert series. (The New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold uses "sacred;" the English papers do not. See Thomas Popular Garden Concert: 6th on 06/16/67 and Thomas Popular Garden Concert: 12th on 06/23/67 for instances of "sacred" in both German and English papers.) A season pass for $10, which was offered at the beginning of the Popular Garden series in June, included admission to the Sunday concerts.

The citations do not provide a composer for the Carnaval de Venise burlesque. In 1868, the Popular Garden concert series featured a piece of the same title by Ernst, so that is what is listed here.

No concert was given as part of the Popular Garden series on Saturday, August 10th.

Review: New York Post, 12 August 1867, 2.

Not so much of an announcement or review as it is a positive mention of this series: "While Theodore Thomas's delightful Terrace Garden concerts tend to make us forgetful of the coming musical season, we are still reminded that there is an unusual activity among the managers of our musical entertainments which promises rich results for the public, however the pockets of the managers may suffer." Goes on to very briefly outline some upcoming fall musical attractions.
