Brief details of this event were listed in the Tagesanzeiger texts of Bohemia 21/5/1850 and 23/5/1850, which noted that on Thursday 23rd May in the ‘evening in the Garden-salon of the Arboretum: Reunion’. No further information was given by the source on this date.

Bohemia 28/5/1850 contained a brief post-concert report relating that ‘On 23rd May in the Arboretum-salon [Baumgartensalon] took place the first Reunion. Despite the unsettled weather it was a large social gathering. Also the arranger had gone to the greatest trouble, the salon was decorated with flowers in the likeness of a marquee, and for charming convenience was tastefully equipped with a rest-room [der geschmackvoll ausgestatteten Toilette einen reizenden Anblick].’
