This is going to be an excellent concert with all star artists, and in addition to Gladys Moncrieff, who is sure to receive a great reception, Gil Dech (pianist and guest conductor) will perform. Heather Kinnaird, the Australian contralto, will also assist. Raymond Beatty (bassbatitonc) is sure to be a favourite. Fred Bluett will provide the humour, and is sure to receive a great welcome from his own Dunedin friends. John Robertson (New Zealand cornetist), who was such a favourite at the last concert, will make his reappearance. An augmented orchestra will provide the accompaniments.
