Description
This listing is for the complete internal program details of the rare, authentic December 9th, 1899 Withington & District Orchestral Society concert. The two beautifully typeset internal pages detail a classical performance lineup from the late Victorian era.
The musical program includes:
- Part I: Features Gluck’s Iphigenia overture, Mendelssohn’s Infelice performed by Miss J. Liebert, Viotti’s Violin Concerto No. 22 in A minor performed by Miss N. Warburg, and Mozart’s Il Seraglio overture.
- Part II: Features Haydn’s Symphony in E flat, Wieniawski’s Reverie on violin by Miss N. Warburg, traditional and modern songs by Arthur Foote and Gounod sung by Miss J. Liebert, and concludes with Schubert’s Overture in E minor.
The layout is accented with gorgeous, ornate Victorian graphic headers, flourishes, and a small cherub illustration crowning Part II. It offers highly specific data for music historians, local Manchester researchers, and collectors of late 19th-century performance ephemera.
Condition
- Overall Rating: Very good antique condition for a 125+ year-old paper item.
- Paper Quality: Stable, clean cream-toned paper with light, uniform age toning.
- Binding/Fold: Clean, intact center fold line with minimal structural wear.

Item History
This program was printed for the opening concert of the Withington Orchestral Society’s 1899–1900 season in South Manchester. It highlights the high-caliber classical repertoire performed by local suburban musical societies at the turn of the century. It has been preserved in a smoke-free, dry, climate-controlled archive to protect the delicate Victorian paper stock.
