This was the first concert given by the New Quartet of Edinburgh, appointed by the Trustees of The Reid Orchestra Endowment Fund.
Professor Newman wrote: “The New Quartet, which began rehearsals early in September 1953 gave its first public recital at the first of the Edinburgh University Concerts on 29 October, 1953, to which series it will contribute three or four more programmes during the course of the season. It will also participate in the series of orchestral concerts under the conductorship of Professor Sidney Newman and contribute to performances given at the Musical Interpretation Class in the Faculty of Music - a class instituted by the late Professor Sir Donald Tovey. The association of the New Quartet with the University of Edinburgh provides, however, only a foundation upon which it is possible for Scotland to enjoy the advantage of having a permanent professional quartet based upon the Capital city.”
