“It is intended to make this Concert one of the best of the kind ever given in this City, and will consist of a number of new as well as standard sacred choruses, interspersed with solos, quartettes, and semi-choruses. Some two hundred vocal and fifty instrumental performers will take part in it.”

“The month of June in the metropolis has been almost totally devoid of musical demonstrations. Only two concerts of any importance have been given—one at the Academy of Music on the evening of the 14th. . . . At the former, the united choirs of the Methodist Episcopal [sic] churches, comprising nearly three hundred vocal and instrumental performers, gave a number of choruses from the leading oratorios, interspersed with solos and duets, all for the benefit of a Sunday-school Union.”
