11 page concert programme. Brown stain on upper left side of front cover permeates through to the back cover.The size reduces from front to back. Light cover stains, but good otherwise. Scarce concert programme. Mechanics Institutes ran concerts to promote a love of music and improve the public's taste. At Wakefield it was held that it was necessary to hold frequent concerts so people could acquire a cultivated taste. For four winter seasons between 1846-50 twelve highly successful fortnightly concerts were given. Composers represented included Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn, Mozart and Rossini. Performers in these concerts were nearly all town residents and connected with the local Mechanics Institution. The front cover has a small engraved image of the Institution which is now a centre for performiong arts for Wakefield College and for a period housed the city's museum.
