Program Details

Gilmore’s “March militaire” given by request.

The selections from Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 were “Andante con moto” and “Allegro assai.”

The ballet from Le Prophète was described in the program as a “grand divertimento, on airs de ballet,” so it was likely an arrangement of the ballet.
