London Highbury Athenaeum Concert 1888
An original programme for an Orchestral Concert at the Highbury Athenaeum, London, on 23 January 1888, with singers and performers including Florence Monk, Marguerite Hall, Charles Chilley and Frank Ward.
Suburban concert halls like the Athenaeum brought orchestral music and popular vocal items to growing Victorian neighbourhoods.
Concert programmes of this age are increasingly scarce and complement collections of old theatre programmes and Victorian London ephemera.
