Book Description

The Minnesota Historical Society Pamphlet Collection contains programs and advertisements for concerts performed in Minnesota. They include musical events that feature both vocal and instrumental performances; performances by members of, or under the auspices of, local musical groups; performances by touring groups; recitals and musicales, particularly by music pupils and instructors; and announcements of concert series or seasons, either by particular performers or music groups or at a specific venue. Some combine musical with recitative or dramatic performances. There are small separate groups of programs for performances sponsored by the St. Paul Musical Society (1873-1879) and Musical Club (1897-1898); by pupils and teachers of the MacPhail School of Music; and concerts given in the Flame Room at the Hotel Radisson in Minneapolis.
