News of this event was published in an advertisement appearing in Mercy’s Anzeiger 20/3/1857 and repeated in that newspaper the following two days. The source reported:
’Konvikt Hall.

Signal
FROM THE MUSIC-WORLD,
at which for the first time the clarinet virtuoso Mr Joh.
Fischer and the

The source then went on to list some of the works to be performed, noted that the event would commence at 7 o’clock and finish at midnight, and that advance tickets could be obtained for 10kr from the art- and music-seller Robert Veit. No further details were given by the advertisement. On 22/3/1857 the Vergnügungsanzeiger published in this newspaper noted ‘Today Sunday... Konvikt Hall: Garland [Kränzchen].’
