CHAMBER MUSIC

RECITAL BY AUCKLAND TRIO Chamber music in Auckland is so rare that no opportunity for hearing it should be neglected. Filling a longfelt want in this direction is the Auckland trio consisting of Miss Ina Bosworth (violin), Miss Molly Wright (’cello) and Mr. Cyril Towsey (piano), whose recitals given at frequent intervals at the Lewis Eady Hall are proving very popular with the musicloving public. The next programme will be given on Monday evening, when the Trio will have the assistance of Miss Lettie Walls (violin), Mr. Harold Baxter (Viola) and Miss Mary MacCormick (mezzo-soprano). The programme will open with the Beethoven Trio, No. 4, opus 11, in B Flat Major, which will be followed by songs by Miss MacCormick, "Spring Waters” and “Night,” both by Rachmaninoff, and Debussy’s “Nuit d’Etoiles.” A first performance in Auckland will be Elgar’s quintet, A Minor, Opus S 4, composed in 1918, said to be a highly interesting and very colourful work. The other items .will be Mendelssohn’s D Minor, Opus 49 trio and a further bracket of songs, Saint-Saens’s’ “La Cloche” and Hageman’s “Do Not Go, My Love,” and “At the Well.”
