Latham, R. G. (Robert Gordon)
Crystal Palace (Sydenham, London, England)
For these Concerts the Directors are happy to announce that they have
entered into arrangements for the services of some of the most
celebrated Artistes, Continental and English, amongst whom will be found
several who are highly popular with the public, and who have not yet
appeared at the Crystal Palace. The admission to these Concerts will be
to Non-Season Ticket-holders Five Shillings.
OTHER MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Other Concerts will take place during the Season; and of these due
notice will be given. In the meantime the Directors may state that they
will be favoured with the co-operation of Mr. HENRY LESLIE’S CHOIR: Also
that some Grand Performances of Classical Music, on an extensive scale,
by the VOCAL ASSOCIATION, under the able baton of Mr. BENEDICT,
embracing several novelties, may be looked forward to. It is further
announced with pleasure that the METROPOLITAN SCHOOLS CHORAL SOCIETY,
numbering among its ranks many thousands of the Children of the NATIONAL
SCHOOLS, whose singing last year, conducted by Mr. G. W. MARTIN,
elicited such warm approval, will hold another celebration on Saturday,
11th June; as also will the members of the TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION,
under the same able conduct as before. Another great meeting of the
METROPOLITAN CHARITY CHILDREN is anticipated.
THE SATURDAY WINTER CONCERT
Will be resumed in November, as during the last Season. Every
opportunity will be taken to widen the range and increase the
attractions of these Concerts, and to add to the convenience of the
visitors who attend them. With the latter intention, in obedience to a
desire very generally expressed, it has been determined that a limited
number of Reserved Seats will be provided at each Concert.
OPEN AIR MUSIC.
Performances of Music by a Band of WIND INSTRUMENTS in the open air
having, during former seasons, afforded much gratification to the
Public, it is proposed to resume these performances during the coming
Summer months, at frequent intervals, and at such times of the afternoon
as will be most convenient for the largest number of Visitors.
LECTURES.
The Lectures delivered by Mr. Pepper during the past Autumn and Winter
will be resumed at the end of the Summer Season, and no exertions will
be spared to make them efficient and interesting.
THE GREAT HANDEL FESTIVAL.
The dates of each performance will be as follows:--
Monday June 20 “MESSIAH.”
Wednesday, June 22 “DETTINGEN TE DEUM:” Selections from “SAUL,”
“SAMSON,” “BELSHAZZAR,” “JUDAS MACCABEUS,” and
other Works.
Friday June 24 “ISRAEL IN EGYPT.”
The Great Orchestra is 216 feet wide, with a central depth of 100 feet;
and will contain on the occasion nearly 4,000 performers.
