     “Part first will comprise Gems of the oratorios of Mozart and Haydn, rendered by members of the Medelssohn Union.  Part second - the choicest morceaux of the day, from the repertoire of our first artists.  It is confidently asserted that no Musical Festival ever given in Harlem will approach this in excellence.”
