Review: New York Post, 22 April 1864, 2.
“The Barili brothers—Antonio and Ettore—gave their annual concert at Irving Hall last night, their pupils singing, in many instances, with the ease and skill of professionals. . . . The entire class performed with good effect choruses from ‘Due Foscari,’ ‘Nabuco’ [sic] and the ‘Vestale.’  A quartette from ‘Martha’ was heartily applauded, and the entire entertainment gave much satisfaction to the friends of the performers.  A number of musical notabilities were among the audience, and the occasion was another proof of the high adaptability of American ladies for musical culture.”
