Royal Albert Hall, London ~ 27th May 1923, the programme for one of the famous Jenny Lind concerts by Frieda Hempel.
Frieda Hempel who was born Leipzig 26th June 1885 and died Berlin 7th October 1955 was a celebrated German soprano who had an international career in Europe and the United States.
From 1919 onwards she confined her Art mainly to the concert platform and her ‘Jenny Lind’ recitals, in costume, were eagerly awaited and quickly sold-out.
Her trademark was her amazing vocal agility and great purity of tone.
Jenny Lind [Johanna Maria Lind] - born 6th October 1820 died 2nd November 1887 – was a Swedish soprano often referred to as the ‘Swedish Nightingale’.
She was one of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century and was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music from 1840.

•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society

25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Title page from the theatre programme for a production of "The Gondoliers" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in November / December 1921.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Gondoliers" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (and a Saturday matinee) from Monday 28th November to Saturday 3rd December 1921. The comic opera was written by William S. Gilbert with music by Arthur Sullivan. The KAODS production was produced by Avalon Collard, with musical director Jos. Harker.
The story is set in 1750, in the canal-riddled city of Venice and the Palace of Barataria. Two Gondoliers - brothers Marco and Guiseppe Palmieri (played by Arthur E. Ramsden and Watson M. Walker) - are to select brides from the gathered peasant girls. They settle upon Gianetta (Edith Robson) and Tessa (Mabel Rothera) but the wedding celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza Toro (Ernest Marsden and Marion Holmes) with their daughter Casilda (Agnes Battle). As an infant, Casilda was married by proxy to the heir of the King of Barataria, but then, for political reasons, that heir was hidden away and was raised by a Gondolier - and it is believed that either Marco or Guiseppe is that heir! While the heir's original nurse, who could identify the true heir, is sent for, the two brothers are removed to the Palace where they reign jointly. Their new wives are left behind and Casilda is left waiting to discover which is her betrothed. The nurse finally arrives and it turns out that the heir is actually the Duke and Duchess' servant Luiz (John Pickles), the secret lover of Casilda, and so everyone can be reunited with their true loves.
The show also starred W. Bruce Johnston, Sidney Calvert, Alan Petty, Harry Binns, Charles H. Dewhirst, Hilda Smith, Kitty Connolly, Cissie Jowett and Walter Bannister.
The Keighley News of Saturday 3rd December 1921 reviewed the production: "Mr. Johnston and Mr. Marsden are sufficiently versatile to adequately fill almost any roles in comic opera or musical comedy, and when we say that they are successful as Don Alahambra and The Duke of Plaza-Toro respectively we can pay them no higher compliment. Both fully appreciate the subtleties of the Gilbertian humour, whether in song or dialogue, and avoid temptation to exaggerate what is almost wholly the mirth-provoking part of the opera. Moreover, they deliver their lines clearly - a remark which applies to the cast generally... Mr. J. Harker - who, by the way, played Lunz in the 1908 presentation - handles his forces quite smartly as the hon. musical director, and the tasteful work of the orchestra adds considerably to the success of the performance. The restraint shown in their work is distinctly commendable. The dressing and staging of the opera leaves nothing to be desired."
The Society had already performed "The Gondoliers" in 1908, and would to do so again, thirty years later, in 1951.

For the first time, CSOs had the chance to shape the Civil Society Programme through a social media consultation. In addition, CSOs were invited to submit proposals for the organisation of discussion panels dedicated to issues of specific interest to the Caucasus region and stakeholders in the EBRD.
