FERRIER, Kathleen (b.Higher Walton, Lancs., 22 April 1912; d.London, 8 October 1953)
The Museum of Music History is privileged to own a substantial correspondence between this great English contralto and the agents Ibbs & Tillett, with whom she came to enjoy a close personal as well as professional relationship. All the Ferrier letters are printed in Christopher Fifield's Letters and Diaries of Kathleen Ferrier (revised and enlarged edition, 2011). To celebrate the centenary of her birth this month we are displaying here a small selection of the originals.
Following on from these are six programmes from the final two years of her life.
