     Bateman’s concert ensemble is now fully organized. Following artists are members: Mrs. Parepa, Signor Feranti (busso singer), Mr. Levy (cornet á piston), Mr. Rosa (violin), Signor Fortuna (bass-baritone), Mr. Ramsbottom (French horn). As mentioned before, the ensemble is supposed to be split and the New York part will be enlarged, so they can perform in Brooklyn and New York. Thomas is hired as conductor and Fradel as musical director.
