Concert and Theatre Programs Collection, 1860s-on, Listing

Concert and Theatre Programs Collection, 1860s-2013

The Library has a large collection of concert and theatre programs. 70% of the collection focuses on musical life in Melbourne, 20% on overseas concerts and the rest are from interstate (10%) concerts of the same period.

Melbourne's musical history can be traced from the establishment of the Melbourne Philharmonic Society in 1853 and the Fitzroy Musical Union's public concerts in 1860. It charts the development of its first orchestras, various exhibitions and musical festivals (such as the Christmas Festival of 1882 and the International Exhibition Concerts in 1888), the foundation of the Ormond Chair of Music, and later the Musica Viva Society, visits by renowned professional musicians such as Charles and Lady Hallé, Fritz Kreisler, Ignaz Friedman, and Artur Schnabel, the Viennese Boys' Choir, the Ballets Russes, and the Olympic Games Music Festival of 1956.
