Review: New York Herald, 26 May 1870, 6.

“The orchestra of the Academy of Music, composed mostly of the Philharmonic Society, and under the direction of Mr. P. Giorza, serenaded Mr. Brignoli last night, after the performance of the opera was over, at the Everett House. The orchestra performed in the open air the symphony from ‘Gazza Ladra,’ by Rossini; the ‘Sailors’ [sic] Dream,’ by Brignoli, and the grand march from the ‘Prophete,’ by Meyerbeer. This was a great and deserved compliment to the famous tenor. After the serenade there was a charming entertainment provided at the Everett House.”
