• EVERS, Carl: soloist, pf

An advertisement for this concert was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 3/2/1854. The source specified the date, time and venue, a detailed listing of the programme in performance order as well as the participants. Admission to the circle seats cost 2fl, entrance to the salon 1fl and to the gallery 30kr. Tickets could be obtained from the art and music shop of Jakob Fischer in the Karolinum, and on the day of the concert from the venue box office. An identically worded advertisement, albeit published in a different size and format, appeared in the same newspaper on 4/2/1854.

An unsigned review of this concert, preceded by a list of the works given in performance order, was published by Tagesbote aus Böhmen 7/2/1854. The correspondent remarked that the event was ‘only very moderately attended’, and reckoned that a warning should have been published for those looking to give public piano concerts following the appearance in Prague within the last year of Alexander Dreyschock [whose concerts were enormously successful]. However, the audience were still generous and demonstrative in their appreciation of Evers. The ability of the artist as a composer was noted. The ‘tasteful’ singing and ‘admirable method’ in the ‘new-Italian’ style of Miss Kathinka [Katinka] Evers was thought by the critic to do justice to the reputation she had acquired in Italy and Germany. Both artists were recalled [Beide Künstler wurden gerufen].
