Description
A collection of 22 programmes from the Bach Cantata Club, 1931 to 1935. The collection also contains prospectuses and other items of performance ephemera, which include correspondence to members.
The majority of concerts took place at St. Margaret’s Church, Westminster; a significant amount of the remainder took place at the Royal College of Music. The collection also includes as small amount of programmes from Draper’s Hall and the chapel at Buckingham Palace.
Charles Kennedy Scott was the conductor for the majority of concerts. The concerts usually followed the pattern that sacred concerts were given at St. Margaret’s Church, and secular concerts given at the Royal College of Music or the Royal Academy of Music. Some programmes in the collection are from joint concerts with the Oriana Madrigal Choir (which was founded and conducted by Charles Kennedy Scott).
The volume bears the inscription “ex libris Caroli Sanford Terry”, and was given to the Royal College of Music as part of the Charles Sanford Terry bequest.
