Program Details

Promenade concert every evening. Children not admitted after 6 pm.

Unclear if Theodore Thomas conducted his orchestra at this festival. Advertisement in the New York Times only states: "Music furnished by the celebrated orchestra of Theodore Thomas." He almost certainly did not conduct this event on 12/12/66 because he is recorded as having conducted the Bateman and Harrison Wednesday Popular Concert: 6th at Steinway Hall.
