Excerpt from Illustrated Programme of the Centennial Celebration in New York, April, 1889: 1789, 1889 How the Centennial Anniversary of the Inauguration of President Washington Will Be Celebrated - Throngs of Visitors from Every State in the Union Will Crowd the Streets - The Harbor Resplendent With Men-of-War and Merchant Marine Rich with Bunting - Military Organizations and Industrial Exhibits in Two Monster Processions - The Magnificent Decorations Which Will Span the Streets Along the Line of March - Arrangements for the Reception of President Harrison as on the Day when Washington Arrived - The Ball at the Metropolitan Opera-House and the Big Banquet - A Valuable Art Exhibit of Old Historic Paintings - The Men Who Have Arranged the Programmes. A programme for the approaching Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washington was first put forward early in February of 1888, or something more than fourteen months ago. It was a very modest affair compared with the official programme which was finally adopted and printed about ten days ago. It suggested in the first place that the celebration be confined if possible to one day, that is to say, April 30, 1889, pointing out. however, that it might be necessary to have the naval parade in the harbor on the afternoon of the day before. The naval parade, according to this original plan, would be participated in by vessels belonging to the United States and foreign countries, such as France. England, and Germany, which would (still according to the programme) be especially interested in the event. The accent was probably contemplated to fall on England in making this statement. In addition to the naval parade it was proposed to have a grand military parade in which military organizations from the different cities, as well as from New York State and New York City, should be invited to lake part. Other suggestions were as follows: The different trades should also be invited to take part in the parade. Some formal exercises should take place on the steps of the Sub-Treasury, where Washington was inaugurated, and also in St. Paul's Church, where Washington attended service on the date of his inauguration. Possibly in addition some further literary exercises should be held at the Metropolitan Opera-House, including, among other things, an oration and a poem. After the literary exercises were over and the parade had taken place it would be a good idea to have a banquet in the evening which the President of the United Slates and other guests invited should attend.

The Hebrew Orphan Asylum Band of New York City, 1874–1941 is at the same time the story of a boys’ band and a story of New York City. The band was not only an important educational component of one of the largest Jewish charitable organizations of its time, but also a significant source of music-making and performance in New York. What made the band especially noteworthy was the reputation it developed performing outside of New York’s many concert halls and major musical institutions. The band was ever-present, participating in events ranging from conventional parades to building ground-breakings to celebrations of major figures in New York history. The band was always ready to perform and to be part of New York cultural life. In doing so, they typified the Jewish-American experience of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and illustrated the substantial effort of those that engage in community music-making and the critical role school music played in the lives of its participants and local community. These are the unknown musicians without whom New York’s musical life would have certainly been diminished. As this history explores their numerous performances, successes, and activities, historical events in New York, some lesser known than others, some humorous, some dark, are described in rich detail as well. The legacy of the band – the careers the boys had as they matured and the contributions they and their band directors made during their lives – is also explored in this fascinating history.
