DEPARTURE IN MUSIC BROADCASTS
For a number of years in England afternoon concerts of good music from the studio, played by fine orchestras under leading conductors, have been broadcast from the BBC, The NBS has adopted the idea, and on Sunday, August 11, 2YA Wellington will present for the first time an afternoon concert of classical music from the studio. This will be welcome news for the large body of listeners whose chief enjoyment comes from the Sunday presentations of major symphonic, operatic, and chamber music works, as well as concertos, arias, etc. ; The concert will be by the NBS String Orchestra under Maurice Clare, and a featured item is the Alec Rowley "Concerto for Piano, Strings and Drums,’ with Jocelyn Walker as soloist. Other Sunday afternoon concerts are planned for the future. There will be another departure in New Zealand radio programmes at 6.25 p.m. on Thursday, August 15, from 2YA, when the strings of the NBS Orchestra will present a Dinner Music Session from the studio. This new session will be compiled of favourite tunes — well-known melodies like "Last Rose of Summer," and "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms." These have been specially arranged by Thomas Gray
(whose picture we publish here) for various combinations of instruments, and critics who have in the past complained that dinner music is as a rule dull and unoriginal should be effectively silenced by this latest result of the NBS policy of presenting the biggest possible variety of programmes with the widest possible appeal. This session will be given one evening every week from 2YA.
