Performance Notes
"In view of the large audiences which attended the concerts, and the very favourable criticisms of the performance by the Press, the Committee feel justified in regarding the season of 1886-1887 as representing the greatest artistic success which has been achieved by the Society since its formation."
(The Times, 6 October 1887)
