ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY
In the Town Hall Concert Chamber to-night the first concert of the fortyfifth season will be given by the Orchestral Society. The programme is full of interest from start to finish, and a wide range of tastes has been allowed for. The famous _ ‘ Jupiter ’ Symphony of Mozart’s is in itself a great attraction, two movements being played—the opening allegro vivace and the minuet. Wagner is represented by the overture to ‘ Rienzi,’ and a first performance will be Sir Edward German’s suite ‘ The Tempter.’ While those numbers may appear rather solid, they are well balanced by a sparkling selection of airs from a French opera comique, ‘ Giroflo-Girofla,’ and some lighter numbers. The orchestra is playing splendidly, and should show to great advantage in the numbers chosen. The soloists are of more than usual interest. Miss Dorothy Mackay will sing two quaint old English ballads, as well as Bishop’s ‘ Should He Upbraid,’ while Mr Denis Dowling, the llanfurly baritone, has chosen ‘ Why Do the Nations ’ (with the orchestra), ‘Rage, Thou Angry Storm,’ ‘The Gipsy’s Warning’ (Benedict), and ‘The Wraith’ (Schubert). The orchestra will, as usual, be conducted by Mr Alfred Walmsley.
