Description
A volume of 28 programmes from the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, from 1925 to 1926. The programmes are from the seventh season of concerts given by the orchestra – which was founded by W.A. Clark jr. – which lasted from October to April. The collection contains fourteen programmes from pairs of concerts that took place on Friday afternoons and the subsequent Saturday morning. There are also fourteen programmes from Popular Concerts, which took place on Sunday afternoons. The concerts were conducted by Walter Henry Rothwell. One concert included performances by the Philharmonic Orchestra Chorus – founded in 1926 for the purposes of singing at this concert – and the University Choral Club. The venue for the majority of concerts is unknown: however, at least one concert took place in the Shrine auditorium. The programmes contain analytical programme notes and portraits of performers. The beginning of the volume contains and index of works performed, soloists and details of the “out of town” concerts (whose programmes are not contained in the volume).
