(…) The chorus performed the two choral pieces fairly well. Miss Rinna’s performance of Donizetti’s aria and another song was noticeable.

The Mutual Piano Benefit Association gives a piano to every member with the longest waiting period being 3 years. At the concert at the Casino, two Behnig and Klir pianos were given to members and were used in the concert. They sounded pleasant and clear, are build in an elegant style and have a full sound. Some amateurs and also professionals played on the pianos.
