Mr. Propert acquaints the gentlemen subscribers, that he
intends to open the concert at the British Coffee-House in
Kingstreet on Wednesday the 3d day of February: Wishes he
could have had a larger room, which by the next season he
hopes to accomplish, this being the best he can accommodate
them at present: The performer he expected is come, and he
is also favour'd with the Band of the 64th: The little boys
under his care will in a short time be able to perform, and
doubts not but they will be able to sing out of Mr. Handel's
oratorios, as they have a very distinguishing ear and power
of voice: He returns thanks to those gentlemen that are
lovers of the art and have favor'd him with their support,
and assures them (as difficult as it may be) he will
persevere to exert his abilities to give them all the
satisfaction in his power.----Every night will be performed
select pieces upon the harpsichord with accompaniment
compos'd by the most celebrated masters of Italy and London;
to begin at half after six.
N.B. As the season is so far advanced the subscription is
a guinea for three months.
