in Royal Festival Hall - the 1950's

from Southbank Centre Archive:

Robert Mayer children's concerts. My mother had recently died and I took my 11 year old daughter to the concert. The conductors mother had recently died and the orchestra performed Elgar's Nimrod variation in her memory. I wept silently.
