Collection Title
McCann Collection: Austria (1927-1989)
Description
A collection of one box of programmes from the McCann Collection. The collection contains programmes from concerts given outside the United Kingdom and were collected by the concert agent Norman McCann (1920-1999).
The majority of programmes in the collection are from Vienna, with the remainder largely from the Salzburg Festival. A significant amount of programmes in the collection are from concerts given in the 1940s and 1960s.

These consist of programmes from the Großer Konzerthaussaal (17 programmes), Mozart-Saal (9 programmes), Schubert-Saal (1 programme) and unspecified programmes from the Konzerthaus (2 programmes). The majority of programmes are from concerts supported by the Wiener Konzerthaus-Gesellschaft. The programmes are chiefly from the 1930s, 1940s and 1960s. There is also a programme from 1944, explicitly linking the concert to the NSDAP (“Nazi party”).
