“The stormy weather diminished perceptibly the attendance at the rehearsal for the first Philharmonic Concert of the season, held at the Academy Friday afternoon. The orchestra of the Society was alone engaged in the performance. It interpreted Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, the overture to Wagner’s ‘Meistersinger,’ and Schumann’s overture of ‘Julius Casear.’”
