TWO JOINT CONCERTS.

N.S.W. ORCHESTRA AND MISS DAISY KENNEDY. The delay in the sailing of the Maori for Wellington last night upset the prearranged plans of the New South Wales Orchestra, which was to have appeared in Wellington to-night and other towns en route to Auckland, and M. Verbrugghen and the management of the orchestra, being anxious to give further concerts in Christchurch, on account of the remarkable enthusiasm that prevailed during the season here, immediately seized the opportunity to arrange for two special concerts in the Theatre Royal to-morrow afternoon and evening, at 3 and 8. At the same time arrangements were made with Messrs J. and N. Tait for Miss Daisy Kennedy, the world-famous, violinist, who is at present enchanting Christchurch musiclovers with Ler violin recitals, to appear in conjunction with the orchestra, a combination which recently in Sydney created a furore, thus providing a musical treat which will happen but once in a lifetime. In the afternoon Miss Kennedy will play the Saint-Saens Concerto in B minor, and a group of unaccompanied Bach pieces. In the evening the popular violinist will play the famous Mendelssohn Concerto and Saint-Saens's Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, both works with orchestra accompaniment.
