DUNEDIN CHORAL SOCIETY

«*. COMING MOZART CONCERT In the latest list of recordings Mozart once again holds pride of place. His present-day popularity is undoubtedly due to the soothing effect of the bright, cloudless sunlight of his music. The tonic effects of his music, indeed, can hardly be over-estimated, and that is one of the many reasons why the Dunedin Choral Society selected works of this great composer for the concert to be presented in the Town Hall on Tuesday next. Ihe society and the associated players and singers have enjoyed many successes in the past, but there is good reason for the confident belief that the forthcoming allMozart " concert 6hould eclipse all previous efforts. ~.,,. , r T Prominent soloists including Mrs beonarcl Cronin, Mr J. D. M'Kechme Miss Betty Pocock, Mrs C. M. BarneU, Mr Douglas Rutherford, and Mr W.. A. Finnic, will take part. Two well-known pianists, Miss Winifred Gardner and Mrs B. R. Nees, are also on the programme, and should enhance the success of the concert. Mr Alfred Walmsley will conduct the concert and Mr J. A. Wallace will lead the string orchestra. The box plan is open at the D.I.C. and Begg's.
