“There was a very large and appreciative audience at St. Ann’s Church, Astor Place, last evening, on the occasion of an Easter Sacred Concert, given under the direction of Mr. Louis Dachauer, organist of the church. The programme presented several choice selections, and in every instance the performances fully equalled [sic] the promise. The concerted pieces, Piété (which was added to the programme last evening) for violin, piano and organ, by Messrs. J. & E. Schuberth and Dachauer, and the Invocation for horn, piano, and organ, by Messrs. H. Schmitz, E. Schuberth and L. Dachauer, were admirable.
The solos by Signor L. Remi, Miss C. Huntley and Miss. O. Gomien were very fine, and the organ accompaniments of Mr. Dachauer were, as they always are, excellent. Considering that many of the performers are amateurs, not professionals, there is so much to commend, and so little to criticise, that the entire concert may be considered one of the most satisfactory and successful of the season.”
