Program Details

One of several events in April 1870 to benefit the Sheltering Arms. The Navy Yard, Fort Hamilton, and Governor’s Island Bands performed on alternating afternoons; Lander’s Band appeared every evening. This is the first day of the bazaar for which the citations provide a program (for the evening performance by Lanner’s Band only). The Sheltering Arms was “an asylum for crippled, incurable and destitute children.” See related event of 04/18/70: Sheltering Arms’ Vocal and Instrumental Benefit Concert.
