SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Next Thursday at S p.m. the Wellington Symphony Orchestra will give its second concert of the season in the Town Hall. The programme is a popular onemore than one item by request—and yet a programme which will appeal to every class of the musical public as well1 as to the general public at large.' Such familiar and well-loved items as the "Tannhauser" overture, with its exciting contrasts, the ethereally lovely prelude to "Lohengrin," the swashbuckling Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2 of Liszt, the short, simple, and tuneful "Clock" Symphony of Haydn, and, as modern numbers, the eerie "Danse Macabre." with its rattlings of bones, and the lovely "Omphale's Spinning Wheel." The only soloist on the programme is the 'cellist, Claude Tanner, in the Saint-Saens Concerto in A Minor, a comparatively short but beautiful and over-popular work. JElie box plan is at Begg!«,
