Mr Bendelari's Concert Mr Augusto Bendelari with his
musical club made up from his pupils gave a concert at Mercantile Hall on
Saturday evening last for the benefit of the families of the Boston
Volunteers. We need not say that such a body of singers drawn from the most
cultivated society of the city did not fail to draw a crowded house or to
give a most substantial benefit. The programme gave us the names of some
fifty ladies and twenty gentlemen who make up Signor Bendelari's club and we
should be well pleased to be able to give some fuller account of this very
delightful concert. The voices were all very fresh and beautiful and several
of the singers showed the highest style of amateur accomplishment and
cultivation most creditable to their instructor. The concert closed with a
spirited air and chorus composed by Signor Bendelari who like most of our
adopted citizens is full of patriotic ardor which found spirited expression
in this song Pule Columbia which was admirably sung by Mrs Harwood and full
chorus.
