Spring Season
Autumn Season
A series of concerts devoted entirely to the compositions of Johannes Brahms, and performed by the Joachim Quartet, assisted by Richard Mühlfeld and others. “The scheme, undertaken for the first time in this or any other country, will allow of the performance of the whole of Brahms’s Chamber Music Works written for more than two instruments, and, in addition, of two of the Violin Sonatas, the two Violoncello Sonatas, and the Two Sets of ‘Liebeslieder Waltzes.’” […] “The Bust of Johannes Brahms exhibited in the vestibule is a replica of that of the Brahms Monument at Meiningen, by Adolf Hildebrand.”
Venue Info: 1901: built as the Bechstein Hall; capacity: 550. 1916: everything auctioned off; 1917: reopened as the Wigmore Hall. Source: London Encyclopaedia

What a fantastic collection of Joachim material – very very impressed! I have a couple of other Joachim Committee concert programmes, from 1903 and from May 1906, not listed in your archive – and they also list half-a-dozen other forthcoming concerts . Can send you a pdf if you’d like details?
Thank you. I would love that. Please send to reshbach-at-unh.edu. Sorry for the late reply! RWE
