National Conservatory of Music Concert: 4th

“The fourth soirée of the Conservatory, on Madison avenue, which came off last evening, fully proved the fact that the institution under its present directors, with Mr. Locke as a business manager, is a success. The programme on the occasion, which consisted of choice selections of very difficult and pleasing music, was performed in a manner remarkably good for non-professionals, and in a style that reflected the highest credit on the teachers of the Conservatory.  Many of the pupils gave promise of a future excellence in music that may not be acquired by many of our leading professionals.”
