MS Mus. 1755/4/4

ff. 1-319. The last of Bradshaw's four scrapbooks containing concert programmes featuring performances, lectures and workshops given by Bradshaw; and newspaper cuttings with concert reviews or broadcasting descriptions. A couple of the programmes have very light annotations, by Bradshaw and on one, by Richard Rodney Bennett. There is also a copy of a press release from the Composers' Guild of Great Britain, announcing that Susan Bradshaw would be presented with the Guild's 'Instrumentalist of the Year' Award for 1976, for her "consistent interest in the music of living British composers". At the back of this scrapbook was a bundle of loose cuttings which had not yet been stuck into the book; these have been removed and placed in a folder in MS Mus. 1755/4/5.
