The Origins of the Cultural Economy As we have just observed, prior to the mid-nineteenth century Manchester was not noted for its cultural life. Even W. Cooke Taylor, generally taken to be an apologist both for Manchester and the factory system, reported in 1842: »It is essentially a place of business, where pleasure is unknown as a pursuit, and amusements scarcely rank as secondary considerations« (Cooke Taylor 1842: 10). In this regard Manchester was little different from other towns and cities outside London, where polite culture ranked relatively low in the order of priorities behind business, often being con- fined to particular groups (the gentry, urban notables) and times of year (festivals, the »season«) (Borsay 1999; Money 1977). At Taylor’s time of writing there existed nevertheless an established network of institutions and associations of polite culture in Manchester.

At least it was greatly enjoyed by those who attended the various events. Structured round the AGM in Great Malvern, the committee were the first to benefit from the hospitality of Lawnside. We met in the Library, passing first the awful warning “No hockey sticks or tennis racquets upstairs” (and we didn’t take any), and we were charmingly escorted round the somewhat confusing grounds and corridors by some of the girls of the school. After a lunch in the drawing room where the famous grand piano on which Elgar & GBS played duets at that first Malvern Festival so long ago, was duly admired (and played on), we went to the main school buildings for the AGM.

  • Boroughreeves Records
    Manchester Central Library Guide to Local Government Records m52110 Chorlton-on-Medlock Town Hall 1833 www.images.manchester.gov.uk The aim of this guide is to provide an introduction to the records held at Manchester Central Library for Manchester City Council and its predecessors and for the Greater Manchester Council. It also gives references to published material held in the library The town of Manchester was granted a charter in 1301 but lost borough status by a court case in 1359. Until the nineteenth century government was largely by manorial courts. In 1792 police commissioners were also established for the improvement of the area of the township of Manchester. In 1838 the Borough of Manchester was established, comprising the areas of Manchester, Beswick, Cheetham, Chorlton-upon-Medlock and Hulme townships. By 1846 the Borough Council had taken over the powers of the police commissioners. In 1853 the Borough received the title of City and between 1885 -1931 further areas were incorporated into the City of Manchester. In 1974 the City became a Metropolitan District in Greater Manchester County. Following the abolition of Greater Manchester County Council in 1986, Manchester City Council became a unitary authority. 1 For further information about the history of local government in Manchester please consult: Arthur Redford, The History of Local Government in Manchester, 3 volumes (Longmans Green, 1939-1940) (352.042 73 RE (325)).

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.

  • 2011/12 Inaugural Season Gábor Takács-Nagy Music Director
    2011/12 Inaugural Season Gábor Takács-Nagy Music Director www.manchestercamerata.co.uk AN INVITATION FROM GÁBOR TAKÁCS-NAGY It is an honour to become Music Director of Manchester Camerata, an ensemble of international quality. I also have family living near to the city so it feels strangely like a homecoming. I look forward to pursuing my two passions in Manchester - music and football - for many years to come. When I hear music, pictures and colours often spring to my mind. Portraits in Music seems a very natural starting point for my tenure as Music Director, drawing together programmes which are musical portraits of the great emotions and big subjects common to all of our lives. Two programmes (24 Sept & 28 Jan) feature inspirational works by my fellow Hungarian, Bela Bartók, who enjoyed his first international success in Manchester's Free Trade Hall. In May 2012 we also celebrate the English soul in an inventive and beautiful concert. The great genius of Mozart is never far from our minds and ears, and I look forward to working with a great friend and fellow musician, pianist Kathryn Stott (10 Mar) on Piano Concerto no.21. It's a tremendous privilege to share the stage with many great artists this season including percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie (28 Jan), pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (24 Sept), singers Rebecca Bottone (15 Oct) and Roderick Williams (4 Apr), poet Michael Symmons Roberts (15 Oct), visual artist John Hyatt (UpClose series) and of course Camerata's inspirational new Leader - Giovanni Guzzo. Life is not easy in the 21st century; it is full of challenges and in some places conflict.

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

  • Urban Space and Civic Identity in Manchester 1780-1914: Piccadilly Square and the Art Gallery Question
    Urban space and civic identity in Manchester 1780-1914: Piccadilly Square and the art gallery question James R. Moore The recent controversy over the construction of an office develop­ ment on part of Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens has highlighted the emotional value of open space in modern urban centres.1 Critics railed at the loss of open space and the replacement of gardens with concrete rafts ‘full of litter and unruly yobs’.2 Civic society members condemned the development as ‘banal, fourth-rate, uninspired crap’ and attacked Manchester corporation for ‘an ignorant and scanda­ lous use of local power’.3 Yet disputes about Piccadilly are not new and would have been familiar to Edwardian Mancunians. Squares and urban open spaces have long been recognised as important, emotive parts of the urban fabric and are probably as old as urban society itself.4 They have classical predecessors in the shape of the Greek agora and have long served as multi-functional spaces for meetings, markets, political demonstrations and civic ritual.5 In some respects one might expect disputes about urban open space to be more acute in Britain, given its relative scarcity in early industrial cities. Unlike America, few provincial British cities have green parks located close to their urban core, making public squares 1 The Manchester plan: The unitary development plan for the City of Manchester (Manchester 1995), pp. 105, 123; Newsletter Piccadilly Gateway (Manchester 2000). 2 Manchester Evening News, 4 Sept. 2003. 3 Manchester Forum, 18 (2000), p. 14; Manchester Forum, 20 (2001), p. 14. 4 P.
