CLA/059 1905-1984 Collection 0.01 linear metres Cole , Maurice Arthur , b 1902 , concert pianist and Professor of Pianoforte, Guildhall School of Music and Drama

Maurice Cole, born in London in 1902, was sometime pupil, and De Graaf Pianist at the Guildhall School of Music, now the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (he may have been the Maurice A. Cole who was a pupil there Nov 1910-Dec 1915, then living at 43 Crockerton Road, Upper Tooting). He was appointed Professor of Pianoforte at the School on two occasions. On 24 February 1939 the Corporation of London's Music Committee agreed to the recommendation of the Principal to appoint him. According to a letter from Edric Cundell, of the G.S.M.D. to Maurice Cole, of 3 June 1943, Cole temporarily withdrew from teaching at the School for a time, but was re-appointed by the Music Committee with effect from 14 September 1953. The Music Committee Minutes do not note the date of his resignations, however.

He was a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians.

Maurice Cole also gave many performances in radio concerts and recitals for the BBC, particularly of pieces by Bach, and he was one of the first pianists to broadcast from the Marconi House Studio in 1922.

The following collection of correspondence was received by the C.L.R.O. (via Adrian Yardley of the G.S.M.D. Library) in May 1992, from the executors of Doris (died March 1992), widow of the late Maurice Cole.
