Description
A collection of 71 programmes from the Kingsway Hall, London. The collection contains programmes from a variety of concerts, including solo recitals, chamber music, orchestral concerts and oratorios. Just over a third of the collection relates to concerts given as part of the 1950-1951 and 1950-1952 subscription series of the Philhamonia Concert Society. These concerts were names the Mysore concerts - possibly in connection to the then president of the Philharmpnia Concert Society, HH. The Maharaja of Mysore – and were a series of various concert types. The majority of programmes for this series relate to solo recitals, including notable singers and pianists of the day; however there are also programmes from orchestral concerts. The Kingsway Hall collection as a whole contains a number of other programmes of concerts organised by the Philharmonia Concert Society, including performances by the Philharmonia Quartet and Philharmonia Orchestra. Aside from the Philharmonia Concert Society, there are a number of other concert series and organisers represented in the collection: these include eight programmes from the 1920-1921 season of Quinlan Subscription Concerts, the majority of which were given by the British Symphony Orchestra.
Arrangement:
Programmes are arranged chronologically, with undated programmes at the end of the sequence.
