Besides the City Concerts, so-called Amateur Concerts were given at an early period and were still kept up in 1791, contrary to the belief of O. G. Sonneck. For instance there are advertisements and programs showing that the usual standard of concert music was performed.

“AMATEURS’ CONCERT.

A concert will be performed at Mr. Henry Epple’s, at Seven o’clock this Evening.”[203]

Again we are notified that “this Evening the 3d instant there will be a Ball, only.”[204] It seems probable that these concerts were followed by a dance.

Also benefit concerts were still given as the following shows:
