News of this event was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 31/10/1854. The report noted: ‘Next Sunday 5th November will take place the festival inauguration of the newly built Organ, by Mr Josef Prediger from Albrechtsdorf [Liberec], in the Capuchin Church of St Joseph [Josef] in the New Town. At 9am will the Reverend Dr Hieronymus Ziedler, Abbot of Strahov, conduct the ceremonial inauguration. Then will a sermon-song [Predigtlied] be intoned with the accompaniment of the new organ, whereupon a German festival service will be given by the Reverend Dr Tersch. There follows the pontifical Mass, in which M. Hayden’s [Haydn] folk-Mass [Volksmesse] will be performed by the chorus of the Institute for the Blind of St Raphael. During the afternoon the Reverend H.P. Hawránek [Havránek] at 4pm will give a Czech festival service. That will be followed by a Te Deum laudaumus.’ No further details of these events were given by the source. Prediger, from Liberec, was one of the most active and effective organ builders in nineteenth-century Central Europe. A review, signed with a mark of a dot surrounded by a circle, of this and the earlier German service was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 31/10/1854. The correspondent reported that the organ builder Jos. Prediger from Albrechtsdorf [Liberec] had already built the ‘splendid organ’ at St Rafael in the Institute for the Blind. In the afternoon a priest of the Order of the Hospitallers, Hawranek, gave a service in Czech followed by a performance of a Te Deum.
