The Philharmonic Society ('Royal' from 1912) is one of the oldest
music societies in the world. Founded in 1813 to provide regular
concerts of new music in London, it is famous for its commission of
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. This detailed account by George
Hogarth, music journalist and Secretary to the Society between 1850
and 1864, takes us from the inaugural concert in March 1813
including works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven to plans for the
golden jubilee concert. Noteworthy performances in these first
fifty years included the UK premiere of Beethoven's Ninth in 1825,
Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony in 1833 and a cornucopia of works by
composers such as Wagner, Berlioz and Weber whose music now forms
the core repertoire of the nineteenth century. Appendices provide
extracts of letters from Mendelssohn, details of works by English
composers performed at Society concerts, and lists of performers,
Society members, Honorary Members and Patrons.
