Lecture 12 September

THE TRIANON ENIGMA: PICTURES OF FRIENDS WITHIN

Trianon Music Group is one of this region’s largest music organisations. Based in Ipswich,
with over 200 members, it has become a brand name for exciting classical concerts and
celebrates 60 years of music making in 2019. In this talk, its founder, Chris Green OBE
traces its development, starting with a small youth group in the mid 1950s which became
inextricably linked with Ipswich social developments and the changing face of youth culture.
