Description
Max Mossel's Concerts. A volume of approximately 20 programmes, 1910-1915.
The violinist Max Mossel, one time leader of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, came to Birmingham in 1895 to teach at the Midland Institute School of Music. Between 1898-1925 he organised a series of chamber concerts, using a large number of prestigious foreign soloists. Many of these were held in the Grosvenor Rooms of the Grand Hotel, Colmore Row, Birmingham, and from 1900 these were referred to as Drawing Room Concerts.
