Announcement: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold, 19 December 1874, 5.

“Fräulein Ilma di Murksa, the well-known coloratura singer, has been persuaded by Herr Ad. Neuendorff and his troupe to give next Sunday (tomorrow) evening a ‘Sacred Concert’ at the Stadttheater. For the German public, the concert is a replacement for Sunday performances now banned by judicial ruling. In addition to Fräulein Murska, the company includes Carreno, the pianist; Sauret, the violinist; Braga, the cello virtuoso; and Ferranti, the baritone. An exceedingly interesting program has been prepared for this concert.”
