  • 75Th ANNIVERSARY 2020
    75th ANNIVERSARY 2020 What better time is there to note the history of one of Lane Cove’s icons than a 75th Anniversary? 2020 marks that celebratory year for Lane Cove Music. On 26th March 1946 Reverend Louis Blanchard, Minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Longueville, was inspired to call a meeting to form a music club with the object of providing first class classical and semi-classical music and entertainment for church members and friends. Initial meetings were held at the Manse, the Vestry and the Church Hall. The idea was so well received that a group was formed as an organisation of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Longueville and named the “Longueville-Northwood Music Club” with a constitution being drawn up and adopted on 22nd May 1946. Until the end of 1959 concerts were held in the Masonic Hall at 231 Longueville Road, now the Shinnyo Australia Buddhist Temple. Rev. Louis Blanchard 1973 The current name Lane Cove Music dates from 2007, the abbreviated version being in step with the trend set by other music clubs, omission of ‘club’ being deemed to sound less exclusive at a time when all clubs were seeking a membership boost. For expediency the capitals ‘LCM’ or words ‘the club’ will be used henceforth in this text. At that initial meeting in March 1946 it was agreed there would be five concerts held in the first year – subscriptions to be one guinea, being one pound one shilling (£1/1- in pre 1966 currency) with a fee of four shillings for visitors. By the third meeting the Executive Committee had been elected with Rev.
