André Mangeot: Box 3 (1931-53)

Collection Summary

Collection Title

André Mangeot: Box 3 (1931-53)

Description

A miscellaneous collection of handbills and programmes for performances featuring the violinist André Mangeot, given at various European venues – predominantly England – between 1931 and 1953, held loosely and arranged chronologically over 4 folders in the third of 5 boxes of material comprising the André Mangeot collection.

The box also includes prospectuses/Official Programmes for the 9th and 10th Festivals of the International Society for Contemporary Music (21-28 July 1931 in Oxford and London and 16-23 June 1932 in Vienna) and for the Festival de Prades given annually from 1952-54, 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1961-62, under the direction of Pablo Casals, with an individual handbill for Monday 5 June [1950].

In addition to programmes for performances featuring Mangeot, there are programmes for two violin recitals by Yehudi Menuhin given at the Freemasons' Hall, Edinburgh on 31 August and 7 September 1953 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama, for which Mangeot provided programme notes (with musical examples).

Mangeot appeared at these concerts as a solo violinist, conductor and member of chamber ensembles, most notably the International String Quartet, the Cembalo Trio and (from 1940) the Andre Mangeot Quartet.

Material is divided into folders as follows.
Folder 1: 1931
Folder 2: 1932
Folder 3: 1933–39
Folder 4: 1940–62

Programmes are listed here by venue, with the English venues followed by European ones. The documentation for the majority of concerts consists simply of a handbill/single-page programme.

Collections Overview

During the course of 2008 a new facility providing collection storage space, reader facilities and office space will created for the Centre for Performance History at College Hall, the site of the RCM's Hall of Residence in London W12. This will eventually offer improved access to researchers, and provide the collection with a secure and stable environment, all in one place. In order that the relevant parts of the collection can be packed and prepared for the move, and then re-shelved at the new facility as expeditiously as possible, all facilities and services (including photographic services and access to the programmes collection) of the Centre for Performance History are suspended until 12 January 2009. The Museum of Instruments will continue to operate a full service (including public opening during the summer vacation) throughout this period. We apologize for the inevitable inconvenience that this closure will cause to colleagues, students, researchers and members of the public, but believe that the improvements that will result will benefit the long-term preservation of the collections and will provide enhanced access to them for all users.
