Description
One volume of programmes, from 1913 to 1927. The spine of the volume reads “Cramer Concert Programmes 1923-1927”.
The majority of items in the collection are from Cramer Concerts, from 1923 to 1927. The Cramer Concerts programmes date from 11/10/1923 – the year of the first programme is inferred, but there are other programmes in the collection where the year 1923 is confirmed – to 31/03/1927. The collection is a complete series of programmes from the 46th to the 76th concert inclusive. The concerts were given at the Aeolian Hall, London and were largely given on alternate Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The programmes featured a variety of soloists and performers; the concerts often featured the Kendall String Quartet or Miss Rosabel Watson’s Orchestra on alternate weeks, and there are also a number of programme for concerts where the J.H. Squire String Celeste Octet performed. The programmes included songs, short instrumental pieces and often an item by an entertainer.
The end of the volume contains some miscellaneous programmes, marginally pre-dating the Cramer Concert programmes. There is one programme from a Cramer Ballad Concert given at the Bycullah Athenaeum, Enfield on 06/12/1912. There are also two miscellaneous programmes from the Wigmore Hall and the Aeolian Hall.
Arrangement:
The programmes are arranged chronologically, excepting the miscellaneous items at the end of the volume.
