According to the New York Times review (June 12, 1920, pg. 25), "The United Swedish Societies of New York, from the boxes of Carnegie Hall, welcomed with a suprise serenade or "Song of Greeting" the eighty-two singers of the Swedish Choral Club of Chicago...". ""Hear Us, O Svea," a song in Sweden equivalent to "Hail, Columbia" here, was given by the visitors and their hosts together." choir performance 1920-06-11T20:30:00
