“No great pains had been taken to announce the performance, and the programme of selections for the season usually published long in advance, has not yet been made known. Still there was a large assemblage of [people?]; for a first rehearsal we may call it an uncommonly large one, and there is every prospect that the success of this year’s concerts will be quite on a par with the experience of the last five or six Winters. The programme yesterday consisted of [see above]—a collection of pieces in which there is certainly abundant variety, and a contrast strong enough to satisfy the two extremes of musical taste. The orchestra is of the customary dimensions and apparently little if at all [changed?] in composition. Mr. Bergmann, of course, retains his place as conductor.”
