CHRISTCHURCH HARMONIC SOCIETY
Keen interest is being maintained in the visit of the Christchurch Harmonic Society to the capital city on Saturday next, July 31, when a choir of 120 voices, under the conductorship of Mr. Victor C. Peters, A.R.C.M., L.R.A.M., a pupil of the great Malcolm Sargent, is to give a concert in the Town Hall. The progrume is one which should appeal to all lovers of choral music, and is particularly interesting in that it will servo to introduce to Wellington audiences a number of modern choral works not previously produced here. In the “Rio Grande,” by Constant Lambert, and “The Highwayman,” by Armstrong Gibbs we have two of the finest examples of the virile and descriptiv style of modern English writers. included in the programme are some of the bright and most amusing partsongs of the society’s repertoire such as Stanley Marchant’s “The Traction Engine,” Percy Fletcher’s "Bees.” Rutland Boughton's “The Faery Chorus.” A feature will be the singing of the male voices and women’s voices in separate numbers. , . -. This visit is more than a concert, it. is a reunion of friends and relations of the choir from country districts and as far north as Napier.
