The Virginia Glee Club concert at the Women's Club of Richmond, March 30, 1936, was part of the 1935-1936 celebration of the Club's 50th anniversary. The concert, directed by Harry Rogers Pratt, was sponsored by the Junior League in association with the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
