“On Sunday evening there will be given the first of a series of sacred concerts. On this occasion Madame Varian-Hoffman, a soprano whose fine qualities of voice and beautiful execution are much admired, will sing . . . Mr. J.R. Thomas, an old popular favorite, will sing two selections, and Carl Rosa will perform two violin solos. Theodore Thomas’s orchestra can be depended on, as usual, for its thorough execution of the duties assigned it.”
