The International Celebrity Concert Series in Bristol dates back to 1919. The goal of the program was to provide all classes of the public with the opportunity to see four internationally noteworthy performers over the course of a year, with a show roughly every other month from October to May. Tickets for the Paul Robeson concert ranged from 2/6 to 10/6 and were available for purchase from Charles H. Lockier, one of the directors of the program. Robeson and his pianist, Lawrence Brown, headlined the performance with opening acts by the Lener Quartet and Ania Dorfmann.
