ORCHESTRAL CONCERT

PERFORMANCE THIS EVENING. The first concert for the 1939 season of the Masterton Orchestral Society will be presented in the Opera House tonight at 8 o’clock. The programme includes one of the brightest and job liest symphonies of Joseph Haydn. Two contrasting marches, the elegant “Cinderella’s Bridal Procession” by Decker, and the rousing "Cornelius” March by Mendelssohn, the evergreen "William Tell” Overture, a pair of pianoforte favourites transcribed for orchestras in Moszkowski’s “Serenata” and the celebrated “Minuet in G” of Paderewski, a lovely “Slumber Song” by Squire, and a dainty Parisian piece “Mademoiselle Chic, by Percy Fletcher, combine to make such a delectable as will leave no taste unsatisfied. Another special feature of the concert will be the introduction to Masterton of a new singer, Mr C. A. Clement, until recently of Adelaide, South Australia. Mr Clement should be firmly established as a popular favourite. To add further to the interest of the occasion, it will be the first concert under the direction of the newly-ap-pointed conductor, Mr C. W. Kerry, who has certainly spared no effort to bring his willing band of musicians to their highest pitch of excellence.
