The commemoration was a collaboration between the Central Library, Karen from the Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and Almut Boehme of the National Library of Scotland.

Last Night of the First Edinburgh Musical Festival 1815 and a new edition in 2015 ...

We mentioned last week that Karen will be giving a talk at Edinburgh Central Library on Friday afternoon - the Bicentenary of the First Edinburgh Musical Festival (Friday, 30th October 2015).

By sheer coincidence, she has just catalogued a new authoritative edition of the final piece that was performed in 1815: one of Handel's famous Coronation Anthems!

Find it in the Whittaker Library Catalogue, here.
