On the performance of a concerto composed by Hermina Carrere. "[In] a short time there will be produced here a grand festival, or concerto, composed by Mme. Hermina Carrere for the piano, with the accompaniment of an immense orchestra of over three hundred musicians. This work has received, we are assured, the most flattering notices from eminent composers and musicians in Europe, who pronounce it a chef d'nauture. Its production here will be an event in the musical world."
