DAWSON-CABALLERO VISIT

FIRST CONCERT TO-MORROW NIGHT

The preferential booking for the Dawson-Caballero concerts, the first of which is to be given in the large Town Hall to-morrow night, indicates that a crowded house will welcome this brilliant combination. Messrs J. and N. Tait, who are sponsoring the present tour, wish it to be distinctly understood that owing to these artists being due to fulfil important engagements in London in August there can be no extension of the Dunedin concerts, nor can any of the provincial centres be visited. The 4s seats will be thrown open for reservation this morning at the Bristol Piano Company, and the 2s day sale tickets will be available at the Rialto to-morrow morning. It is generally agreed that Messrs J. and N. Tait have never brought a more popular singer than Peter Dawson to New Zealand, and his associate artist on this occasion, Senor Tapia-Caballero, the noted pianist, comes w,ith the very highest credentials from the musical authorities in the art centres of Europe. The specially compiled and delightfully diversified programme to-morrow night will include: "Ye Twice Ten Hundred Deities" (Purcell), "Du bist die Ruh" (Schubert), "La Garavanne" (Rabaud), "The Traveller" (Godard), "Wood Magic" (Shaw), "If Music be the Food of Love" (Travers), "Under the Greenwood Tree" (Tedesco), "When Icicles Hang the Wall" (Keel), " Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" (Aitkin), by Mr Dawson, and Senor Tapia-Caballero will play "Prelude and Fugue in F Sharp (Bach), " Pastorale and "Capriccio" (Scarlatti), "Sonata Appassionata" (Beethoven), a Debussy group, and " Danse du Feu" (De Falla). By way of recalls Mr Dawson will also sing some of his more popular numbers selected from "Mandalay," "Glorious Devon," "The Floral Dance," "Tipperary Lass," " Boots," etc. Senor Tapia-Caballero is also most generous with encore numbers, and these will include a group of Spanish gems. There will be further concerts on Thursday and Saturday of this week.
