PC.769.122
20-27 Nov 1769:3631 (150)
To the Philo-Musical ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gualdo,
having for divers reasons postponed his going to Europe till
next spring, takes this method to acquaint the public, that
during the present winter season, he (every other Thursday)
intends to direct a subscription concert, of vocal and
instrumental music, at Mr. Davenport's in Third-street,
being the most convenient house for such a purpose. Mr.
Gualdo's principal views, in this undertaking, are to oblige
his acquaintances, and to compensate in some measures those
losses, which he has sustained in this town, partly through
his own imprudences, and above all, through false friends,
and malevolence. Mr. Gualdo will be obliged to any
gentleman or lady for lending him some new music; likewise
the assistance of any lover of music, willing to exercise
and improve himself, shall be gratefully acknowledged. The
first concert will be on next Thursday, to begin at six
o'clock in the evening. Gentlemen and ladies may subscribe
any time before next Friday, either at Mr. Davenport's in
Third-street, or at Mr. Gualdo's in Front street. The
subscription money half to be paid on the delivery of the
ticket, and the other half in next February. Tickets for
one night at five shillings a piece, to be had of the waiter
of the London Coffee-house, and at Mr. Davenport's. No
money will be received at the concert room, nor admittance
given without tickets.
N.B. In the best part of the room, chairs will be placed
for the ladies, and benches for the gentlemen.
