GOLDEN OLDIE Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Has anyone ever heard about a Sheffield Elgar Society? Possibly in the 1920s or even earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Following an initial meeting in October 1951, a separate Sheffield & District Elgar Society was set up and continued in existence till 1983. Mrs Elgar Blake was its President; Sir John Barbirolli was a Vice-President. (That ‘JB’ was never invited to become a Vice-President of the national society seems inexcusable.) A Short History of the Sheffield & District Elgar Society by E D Mackerness is deposited in the Local Studies Library (ref. 780.65) of Sheffield Archives Office. Looks like you might have to get your information the old fashioned way and go to the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
