The Manassas Journal wrote:
The University of Virginia Glee Club in its concert on Tuesday evening fulfilled all expectations of a highly entertaining and enjoyable occasion. Thorough and capable training showed up very clearly as the group of singers sang through a very varied program—a most interesting program including such powerful selections as the Russian Anthem, “Hospodi Pomiloi” as well as songs of a more delicate structure such as Brahm’s “Lullaby"… The singers reached their peak in the superb singing of Grieg’s “Land Sighting” and brought down the very appreciative audience.[2]
