Summary
List of concerts and works performed by the Bedford Amateur Musical Society 1867–1880, which became the Bedford Musical Society 1880–1988 (closed 1933, revived 1941), which became the Bedford Choral Society 1988-date. The purely orchestral concert performances 1924–29 and 1946–58 are listed separately in appendices three and four respectively. After 1959 the list does not include purely orchestral works.
This list is not complete for the period up to c.1900 as information had to be extracted from newspaper reviews. The newspaper reviews do not necessarily include all the works performed. The list is more substantially complete after that date as more concert programmes survive and fewer short songs were performed.
