Program Details



Venue is unknown but may have been Irving Hall, where he performed his first Grand concert on January 7, 1863. There was nothing advertised for Irving Hall that evening, so it should have been available.

It's also possible that this concert did not take place. The supporting evidence is thin.

No specific date of Pape's concert given in this review. They could be talking about the earlier concert on January 7, 1863. “Of miscellaneous concerts we have had but few lately, and those principally of the ‘prodigy’ order – little Carreno, Master Pape, the Bretto children, have been the envy and admiration of less gifted youngsters this winter; to us such displays are a bore, and worse than a simple bore – a very much to be deplored bore, musically and humanly speaking.”
