Some Festival Programmes of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries: 4. Birmingham, Derby, Newcastle Upon Tyne and York

Extract

The festivals which comprise this last instalment in the series of eighteenth— and nineteenth—century programmes come from areas of England hitherto unrepresented. We have included two series of music meetings held in Midland centres, one from the North-east and the series held in York, the “northern metropolis” and the most important cathedral city north of the Trent.
