Review: New York Post, 23 March 1874, 2.

“Last night a concert of a popular nature took place at the Grand Opera House. Wieniawski, the violinist, was the marked attraction of the evening, his performances awakening the heartiest enthusiasm. Torriani and Capoul were the vocalists, and, with Gilmore’s Band, gave great pleasure to the very large audience present.”
