Signed Banquet Menu with Two BSO Concert Programs

Autograph signature from the legendary Boston Symphony conductor, signed on the menu for a May 12, 1949 banquet given in his honor by the Harvard Glee Club. The menu (4 pp.) includes a list of all the joint performances of the Harvard Glee Club and the Boston Symphony; Koussevitzky has signed boldly on the cover, beginning in blue ink (from a pen which evidently gave him some trouble) and ending in pencil. Together with two original concert programs from performances of the BSO and Glee Club: one from a April 26, 1942 Pension Fund Concert performance of Bach's Magnificat and Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 (4 pp.); and one from an April 29, 1949 performance of Beethoven's Symphonies no. 1 and 9 (63 pp.). Light toning and wear; overall in fine condition. Menu 5.5 x 9.25 inches (14 x 23.3 cm), programs 5.5 x 8.5 inches (14.2 x 21.8 cm). (16055)
