“The twenty-sixth Sunday concert of Mr. Harrison, at Steinway Hall, attracted the usual large audience. The programme comprised the following artists:--Miss Kate McDonald, soprano; S. B. Mills, piano; F. Letsch, trombone and J. Clark, basso. The last named gentleman made his debut and gave promise of being a valuable acquisition to the concert hall. The orchestra played selections from Rietz, Rossini, Flotow and Mozart.”

Announcement: New-York Daily Tribune, 25 February 1867.

“Thus it will be seen Mr. Harrison is quite as busy and as prosperous as any Manager of Concerts can possibly be; indeed, almost beyond precedent. Credit is due him for a brave and generous venture, and for the positive musical benefit which so many of his Concerts, the Sunday series particularly, have been.”
