Performance Notes"ROYAL ARTILLERY BAND AT THE ALBERT HALL.
Yesterday afternoon saw what was virtually the opening of the autumn season of Sunday concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, and the occassion brought with it substantial evidence of the high esteem in which these entrtainments are held by all sorts and conditions of people. With the presence on the platform of the Royal Artillery Band, under the watchful eye of Cavaliere L Zavertal, it was not difficult to account for an attendance far larger than has been seen in Kensington's splendid concert-hall of recent Sundays."
(The Daily Telegraph, 5 October 1903)
