An original 1937 Celebrity Concert Season program for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra presented in conjunction with the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC)

Included - Original 1937 MSO Blue Gatefold Cover/Folder - "Special Matinee" Arthur Rubinstein Insert (October 9, 1937) - "On The Air" ABC Forthcoming Radio Programme Insert (Sept 26-28, 1937) - MSO Town Hall Celebrity Concert Final of Series Program Sheet (October 16, 1937)
**Condition:** The program and inserts are in very good vintage condition considering their age (nearly 90 years old). The paper is clean, the text is crisp, and the loose inserts have been incredibly well-preserved. There are minor age-related handling marks/creases, but no major tears or severe stains. Please review the high-resolution photos for exact condition details.
**Shipping & Packaging:** To preserve its condition, this item will be packed with the utmost care. It will be housed in a protective plastic sleeve and shipped flat between thick, rigid layers of heavy cardboard to ensure it absolutely cannot bend or warp during transit.
