Review: New York Post, 09 February 1871, 2.

“A private concert for the benefit of St. John’s Guild—a charitable institution connected with St. John’s Chapel in Varick street—took place at Steinway Hall last night. It was a very pleasing and successful affair. The selections were chiefly of the Italian school, and were interpreted by a number of the most prominent and accomplished amateurs in this city. The singing of Balfe’s [see above] may be specially mentioned. A violinist of repute and a graceful lady pianist, lent their aid to this entertainment; and an admirable quartet of male voices gave further variety to the programme.“
