Monday: Auckland Chamber Music Society. September So (about)—Auckland Choral Society. Jan Kubelik.—October. “The Cingalee” is the choice of the Invercargill Operatic Society for presentation shortly. Bohemian Orchestra The programme to be presented by the Bohemian Orchestra at its next concert will be selected from the following works: —“King Manfred’’ overture (Reinecke), “Lenora" overture, No. 3 (Beethoven), “Caprice Espagnol” (Moszkowski), suite “From Foreign Parts" (Moszkowski), "Pathetique” symphony (Tchaikowsky), “Fete Bolieme” (Massenet), “Lion de Bal” (Gillet), and Prelude in C Sharp Minor (Rachmaninoff). « * • Kubelik’s New Zealand Tour Jan Kubelik, the world-famous violinist, whose tour of the Australian States, under the aegis of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, is proving one of the most sensational successes of the century, is to visit New Zealand. This splendid news will gladden the hearts of the many thousands in the Dominion who have previously shown their high appreciation of the beautiful music ho draws from his wonderful Stradivarius—one of the most valuable violins in the world. From the New Zealand representative of J. and N. Tait we learn that the virtuoso will open his New Zealand season at the Wellington Town Hal! on Saturday, September 27, and that three grand recitals will be given in Wellington, the other dates being October 1 and 4. A New Zealand tour will follow the Wellington opening. The South Island will be visited first, Kubelik appearing at Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill and probably in the principal provincial towns. Details in this connection are now being arranged. So far as the North Island is concerned, Auckland, Palmerston North, Wanganui, Napier and New Plymouth will probably be included in the tour. Mr. Claud Kingston, who has so successfully managed the New Zealand tours of famous artists who have come to the Dominion under engagement to the enterprising .1. and N. Tait, will accompany Kubelik and personally direct the New Zealand tour.
