The Concert Hour

This was initially a local series on Montreal's CBFT airing on alternate weeks with Teletheatre until it was given a dual-network run from May 1954.

Guest musicians included Glenn Gould, Louis Quilico, Robert Savoie and Rosalyn Tureck.

The series included ballet performances with choreographers such as David Adams, Ludmilla Chiriaeff, Heino Heiden, Brian Macdonald.

Orchestras were led by conductors such as Jean Deslauriers, Roland Leduc, Boyd Neel and Wilfrid Pelletier.

This cultural series had limited appeal, especially in areas such as Winnipeg where CBC held a monopoly of television signals.
