in the Housman Room, University College,
Gower Street
This concert was originally planned for 2nd October 2002, but was postponed because of actual and threatened underground strikes
This Concert was an informal performance of music sung by the Ladies of the Club, drawing from the great collection of vocal music composed, arranged and published for use in class singing lessons or by school choirs in years gone by. It also paid tribute to former members of the Club who composed in this field.
