Manchester Mid-Day Concerts Society

	Manchester Mid-Day Concerts Society The Manchester Mid-Day Concerts Society is a musical society and a registered charity which arranges annual programmes of lunchtime concerts held at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. History During the First World War, the Committee for Music in Wartime, founded the Concert Series for the purpose of promoting the advancement of music in Manchester: encouraging those musicians whose livelihoods had suffered as a result of the War and boosting morale in local military hospitals. The Inaugural Concert - on 9 November 1915 - was held at the Houldsworth Hall (Church House, Deansgate, Manchester). Continuing success ensured that the Concert Series continued after the War, and were later organised by the ''Tuesday Mid-Day Concerts Society'' (from 1922) to provide very high standard music (at low admission price) and to foster talented young musicians (selected at the Society’s annual auditions). It became a registered charity in 1964. The Society’s Music Directors have incl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Music Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal jazz ...

picture info	Charities Based In Manchester A charitable organization or charity is an organization whose primary objectives are philanthropy and social well-being (e.g. educational, religious or other activities serving the public interest or common good). The legal definition of a charitable organization (and of charity) varies between countries and in some instances regions of the country. The regulation, the tax treatment, and the way in which charity law affects charitable organizations also vary. Charitable organizations may not use any of their funds to profit individual persons or entities. (However, some charitable organizations have come under scrutiny for spending a disproportionate amount of their income to pay the salaries of their leadership). Financial figures (e.g. tax refund, revenue from fundraising, revenue from sale of goods and services or revenue from investment) are indicators to assess the financial sustainability of a charity, especially to charity evaluators.

picture info	Arts Organizations Established In 1915 The arts are a very wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation. They encompass multiple diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing and being, in an extremely broad range of media. Both highly dynamic and a characteristically constant feature of human life, they have developed into innovative, stylized and sometimes intricate forms. This is often achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training and/or theorizing within a particular tradition, across generations and even between civilizations. The arts are a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural and individual identities, while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life and experiences across time and space. Prominent examples of the arts include: * visual arts (including architecture, ceramics, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, and sculpting), * literary arts (incl ...
