“Mr. Edward Mollenhauer gave a matinee at two P. M., at which many of the pupils of the Conservatory attended. Mozart’s beautiful quartet in G minor, No. 1 for piano, violin, alto and cello was very well rendered by Messrs. E. and H. Mollenhauer, Lejeal and Zeiss. Three pupils of the Musical Conservatory, Messrs. Folwer and [illeg.], pianists, and Miss Ida Rosenberg, vocalist, made their appearance and were very successful.”

The concert presented some of the Conservatory’s advanced students. It was very successful. Steinway & Sons made a beautiful grand piano available.
