HARMONIC SOCIETY.

The Wellington Harmonic Society has been credited by competent critics with doing the best work of its kind in the Dominion, and music lovers will have an opportunity of hearing this choir of fifty picked voices at the first concert of the 1923 season at the Concert Chamber, Town Hall, next Wednesday, at 8 p.m. Under the conductorship of' Sir. 11. Temple White, the cfoir will render nine numbers, including a seventeenth century madrigal, " 0 That the Learned Poets " (Orlando Gibbous), " The Storm's Triumph " (Cyril Jenkins), " 0 Wild West Wind," and " Spanish Serenade " (Elgar "), and "Awake, Awake" (Granyille Bantock), while the ladies will sing " Sweet and Low " (G! yon Hoist). The society will be assisted by Mr. Leon do Mauny, the very capital violinist, whose numbers will be " Largo " (Handel), " Second Hungnrian Dance-" ißrahms), and " Souvenir "' (Drdla). Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Orr will contribute the duet " Love's Command " (A. Goring Thomas), and The Harmonic Quartette will be heard in H. Balfour Gardiner's " Cargoes," words by John Masefield, 'being a comparison between ancient and modern vessels and cargoes, aptly denoted by the contrasting rhythms. With Mr. Harold'Whitble at the piano, a successful programme is assured. The plan is now open at The Bristol. '
