The New York Times wrote that “.The twenty- four members of the New York Echo Club played a Beethoven hymn and Schantl's 'Hunters Drinking Song'.” 6 The final mention of the club, as believed by Schweikert, was in an obituary in 1921 about an Echo Club member funeral where a “double horn quartet” performed Koschat's “Verlassen”. The last public concert, known to the author, happened on March 8, 1909. 5 This concert was again reviewed positively by the Musical Courier. 4 A year later, on May 4th, 1902, the Echo Club performed on another concert that benefited the clubs sick fund.
