	+ + Folks, if I can add to the misery, Corinthian Hall was the locale of the first public demonstration of the ["Fox Sisters"] and Spiritualism (the world-renowned "Rochester Rappings") in 1849. From this very place, their fame and their following, which exists to this day, were born. + + In July of 1851, on her tour sponsored by P.T. Barnum, the famed Swedish soprano Jenny Lind gave not one, but two concerts in Corinthian Hall, such was the crush of Rochesterians who wanted to hear her. She performed a program of ''bel canto'', including Bellini and Donizetti, as well as an aria from Handel's ''Messiah'' and some Swedish folk songs. + + Barnum himself gave a lecture in the hall a few years later, with all of the proceeds going to the Female Charitable Society, an early and active women's group, founded in 1822. + + What it would have been to be like to be in the audience of a "Grand Vocal and Instrumental Concert" which took place in Coronthian Hall on Tuesday evening, December 26, 1854, and to hear one "H. Schenk" lead a Grand Chorus in "The German's Song" by one Kalliwoda, as well as music by Mozart, Mendelsson, Bellini and others! "An accomplished Lady Performer will preside at the Piano."

Until the building of the Bausch and Lomb Public Library in 1997, for instance, a good bit of the Arts/Music and Recreation Division was called the "Reynolds Audio-Visual Department." + + The loss of this structure is incalcuable.
