28 Nov 1771:12 (2240).
A concert of music, vocal and instrumental, to begin
precisely at six o'clock in the evening, on Thursday, the
fifth of December. The concert will consists of two acts,
commencing and ending with favorite overtures, performed by
a full band of music, with trumpets, kettle drums, and every
instrument that can be introduced with propriety. The
performance will be interspersed with the most pleasing and
select pieces composed by approved authors; a solo will be
played on the German flute, by John McLean, and the whole
will conclude with an overture, composed (for the occasion)
by Phillip Roth, master of the band, belonging to his
Majesty's Royal Regiment of North British Fusileers.
Several gentlemen, who wish to encourage and reward merit,
have suggested this public amusement, and have designed to
honor with their protection the portion for whose benefit it
is intended; one instance of their condescending goodness,
he will ever gratefully acknowledge, in consenting it should
be known, they have been pleased to offer their assistance
in the performance, which every possible means will be used
to tender agreeable and entertaining to the company, for
whose further satisfaction it is also proposed, that after
the concert there should be a ball; on this account the
music will begin early; and as soon as the 2d act is
finished, the useful arrangement will be made for dancing.
N.B. The tickets for the concert may be had at the different
printing offics in this city, at the bar of the Coffee-House
and at Messeurs Duff and Jacob's Taverns, in Second and
Third-streets. Prince 7s6.
