AID FOR AMATEURS
»ir,--Alter hearing a talk on the Halle Orchestra this morning, I feel that it might interest listeners to know of an activity of that orchestra which is not, as far as I know, shared by other great English orchestras, and which might usefully be followed by the NBS Orchestra here. When any local amateur choral and’ orchestral society is performing some great work, it usually gets for the final~rehearsal and the public perform» ance either the whole or -parts of the Halle Orchestra to help it. In this way, the performance is far better than the amateurs alone could give, and, even more important, the local amateurs have the opportunity of playing and singing with great professional musicians and so improving their own standards. I remember particularly a performance of Vaughan Williams's "Sea Symphony,"
given in this way, and at the same concert Dame Ethel Smyth conducted some
of her own work also.-
