On Friday evening, August 5, 1892, Charles Baetz conducted
the Philharmonic Orchestra Society in a concert held at Cedar Point’s Grand
Pavilion. Many popular Sandusky
musicians took part in the performance.
Michael A. McAdams played contra bass with the orchestra.
The Sandusky Register
of August 4, 1892 reported that the Fenz Brothers, vocalists from Vienna , were to perform at the concert.
Fare for the round trip from Sandusky to Cedar Point
was twenty five cents, which included admission to the concert. The steamer R.B. Hayes ran extra trips to Cedar
Point during weekday evenings in the summer of 1892, to accommodate the increase in visitors to the resort.
An article in the August 6, 1892 issue of the Sandusky Register stated that the
mid-summer concert of the Philharmonic Orchestra Society proved to be “one of
the best features of the summer program at that famous resort and all our music
loving people who heard it were thoroughly delighted.”
