Last concert of Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra 30 July 1955 ended with March to the Scaffold from Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz.
A trumpeter blew 'The Last Post' in the pub.
Brass instruments saw off conductor Norman del Mar at Leeds station.

Roger Norrington must have been 25 when he sang tenor in this 1959 concert. I found the programme amongst Dad’s things. A very enterprising line up of music!

Embarrassed to have missed the actual date, but 48 hours late: Wednesday was the centenary of the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, one of Britten's trusted collaborators. Here's Britten asking him, tentatively, to take part in the first performance of the War Requiem, if he's not too busy.

1/3. It is with great sadness that we share the news that our dear colleague and friend David Watkin has passed away.
David was one of the finest cellists of his generation - a master soloist, chamber musician, orchestral leader, and conductor.
