“Mrs. Mina Geary-Fitzpatrick announces a farewell concert at Steinway Hall, on Wednesday evening, previous to her departure for Europe, where she designs to enter upon her studies for the operatic stage under the tuition of the most competent maestri. This lady, who has been for some time familiarly known here in the concert room as an exquisite balladist, may return to us one day as a prima donna. Her friends will doubtless see that her musical farewell is in keeping with the estimation in which Mina Geary has always held since she made her girlish début in New York.”
