Review: New-York Times, 29 June 1870, 3.

“On Monday evening the Literary Society of the Allen-street M. E. Church—composed entirely of young men—gave their first public entertainment, in the lecture-room of the church…The exercises were enlivened by a number of choice selections of music, by the Glee Club of the Young Men’s Christian Association.” Provides order of events, but does not list any titles of pieces performed aside from “All hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” which was sung not by the glee club but by the attendees.
