Review: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold, 01 January 1866, 8.
The concert was not very good except maybe for the two overtures, the solos of Mollenhauer and Eben and two chorus pieces. Farini is a skillful performer; however, he should stay away from composing. C. Sahm’s “Fischermädchen” is boring and slow [rest of review illegible].

Review: New-Yorker Musik-Zeitung, 08 January 1866, 23.
The concert was neither well attended nor performed too well. However, we want to acknowledge the chorus’s willingness to perform in front of larger audiences and they should continue to do so.
