Review: New York Post, 08 June 1874, 2.

“Under the auspices of the St. Cecilia Lodge a concert was given at Irving Hall last night for the benefit of Signor Mariotti, formerly an operatic manger in South America, and now about to return from this city to Italy. A large number of artists tendered their services. Signora Bellini Mariotti and Miss Mackenzie were the sopranos, both being well received. Signora Azzema Geri was the contralto, and met with equal favor. Signor Boy undertook the tenor music, and Signor Mari the baritone. Besides these artists, there were Mr. Werner, the violoncellist, Mr. Poznanski, pianist, and Mr. Giffin, elocutionist. The programme was varied and interesting, the selections being chiefly of the Italian school.”
