“The third annual springtide singing festival of the Orpheon free choral schools and charity children took place last evening in the Academy of Music. There was a large attendance and considerable interest was throughout manifested in the efforts of the young choralists, of whom there were over two hundred of both sexes, the whole supported by a grand orchestra under the direction of Theodore Thomas. The programme was highly attractive and was altogether very creditably gone through. Miss Gertrude Frankan and Miss Louise Livingston and others rendered valuable assistance, the former receiving a hearty encore in the rendering of Arditi’s favorite ‘L’Estasi’ waltz. Several splendid overtures were performed and the festival was brought to a successful close by Handel’s immortal ‘Hallelujah,’ which was given in a manner that evoked unanimous applause.”
