“…this church is remarkable for its music. Mr. Rufus Hatch, who officiates as organist and director of the choir, has certainly spared no expense in surrounding himself with the best talent…Christ Church is, we believe, the only fashionable temple on the avenue where the seats are free to all during the afternoon service. The Rev. Dr. Thompson thus gives every one a chance to hear excellent music, with a sermon thrown in. Many rare and valuable works are to be produced during the present year, and certainly the high standing of the choir gives promise of interesting Sunday feasts of music.”
