The article focuses on "The Rose of Sharon," a dramatic oratorio by A.C. Mackenzie. The solo parts were in the hands of Misses Emma Juch and Emily Winant, Messrs. W.J. Winch, I. Morawski, and Max Heinrich, and were satisfactorily rendered. The New York Chorus Society has the best female chorus in the country, a fact which was again demonstrated during the evening, and the orchestra, being that of the Philharmonic Society, with some reinforcements in the brass, was of course perfection. The popularity of this work shows that the oratorio is still the most popular form of music in England.
