In my early days in Boston, series of concerts were given in the Federal Street Theatre, on the corner of Franklin Street, by the so-called Boston Academy of Music [… ] formed and named in 1833, by Messrs. William C. Woodbridge, Lowell Mason, and a few kindred souls. […] The programmes were of very mixed music, but aspiring to the best. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony was brought out by them for the first time in Boston. Each programme was generally made up of a French opera overture, one or two instrumental solos by members of the orchestra or strangers, a movement from an easy symphony, a potpourri, and a few vocal pieces. |
