Although no records have as yet been found, still it seems very
probable that these concerts were continued without interruption
through 1789-90. For the year 1791 there is a complete file of the
programs given. The opening announcement is as follows:
“The first Concert will be held on Saturday the 22d instant, at the
New-Rooms in Chestnut street, where they will be continued every other
Saturday during the Season.”
