“Orpheon Fund Concert.—The second of these concerts in aid of the free choral schools will be given at the hall of the Y. M. C. A. this evening.”
“Mr. Jerome Hopkins gave the second of his Orpheon Concerts last Wednesday, at the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The Orpheon Society of Choralists sang some selections from ‘The Messiah’ and ‘St. Paul,’ and Mrs. Kavan, Mr. Marsden, and Mr. Hopkins appeared in various solo performances.”
“A crowded audience attended Mr. Jerome Hopkins’s second Orpheon Fund Concert at the Y. M. C. Association Palace Hall Wednesday evening. On this occasion the Orpheon Oratorio Society of adults and choir boys sang some choruses from Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn, and showed a commendable degree of culture in these difficult works.”
