Description A collection of five undated programmes for concerts given at the Steinway Hall, London during the first two seasons of the Elderhorst Chamber Concerts, 1898-99. Many of the programmes contain advertisements for the next performance in the series, which allows for the dating provided in square brackets below.

All concerts were in two-parts and combined vocal and instrumental solos with instrumental chamber music. All programmes include brief historical and analytical notes on the principal works performed and the texts for the vocal pieces.
