Scope and content
Scrapbook containing correspondence, leaflets and flyers, news cuttings, circular letters, administrative papers and receipts, concert tickets, and other papers relating to the York Musical Festival, 1910. A number of promotional brochures and programmes originally kept loose in the volume have previously been removed and are kept in a separate folder.
The papers relate to the establishment and organisation of the festival, including support for the festival from patrons and subscribers, performers and performances, and the fitting out of a concert space at Exhibition Buildings, including trade receipts and papers for furnishings.
Also included in the volume is correspondence with the organisers of other musical festivals and programmes for those festivals, including the Gloucester Musical Festival and the Leeds Musical Festival, a monochrome photograph showing a concert group in Exhibition Buildings, and a programme for a performance by the York Musical Society, 1908.
