Benefit: German Hospital and Dispensary Dyna Beumer replaced Johanna Gadski, who was unable to appear due to illness. The three selections listed in the program for Johanna Gadski (Wagner's "Der Engel," Damrosch's "Sudden Light," and Brahms' "Feldeinsamkeit") are crossed out (along with another, unspecified aria with orchestra, which was to have preceded the Saint-Saens Violin Concerto), and the name "Dyna Beumer" was written in with red ink. The New York Times review for this performance confirms the soloist substitution. benefit performance choir and orchestra performance 1897-11-28T20:00:00
