I'm not sure what sort of information you are looking for about concerts,
but one interesting source is the collection of musical criticism by Bernard
Shaw, published as "Shaw's Music" in three (large!) paperback volumes by The
Bodley Head in England. Volume one covers 1876 - 1890, volume two covers
1890 - 1893 and volume three 1893 - 1950. Shaw wrote under the pseudonym
"Corno di Bassetto", but that doesn't mean he specialized in clarinet music!

Volume three apparently has an index for all three volumes, but I haven't
seen it and can't report on its value.
