Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 25 July 1864, 7.

      “A musical entertainment was given at St. John’s Church, on Friday evening, by Mr. Gilder’s free singing class.  The programme included selections from the oratorios and secular pieces.  The boys sang solos and choruses with considerable skill.  The rector of Trinity Church, and other clergymen were present, with many of the personal friends of the little singers.  Mr. Gilder reopens his class in September.  Those who desire to learn to sing by note can join his class without expense.”
