Description
A collection of 25 programmes from Cecil Sharpe House, from 1930 to 2000.
Cecil Sharpe House is located on Regent's Park Road, NW1, and is the home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. The collection consists of programmes from concerts directly organised by the English Folk Dance and Song Society, as well as concerts organised by external organisations. The majority of concerts feature folk music and folk songs, including indigenous music from a number of countries across the globe. However, there are a few programmes which feature first performances of contemporary art music.
Though the majority of programmes are printed, the collection includes handwritten music lists inscribed on to English Folk Dance and Song Society headed note paper.
Arrangement:
The programmes are arranged chronologically.
