Goossens Will Conduct at Auckland
UGENE GOOSSENS, the world famous conductor, who is on his way to an appointment in Sydney, will conduct the National Orchestra of the NZBS in Auckland this coming Friday, June 20. His reply to the invitation, which was sent by radio to the
steamer Suva, was received a few hours before we went to press. The NZBS, on hearing that Mr. Goossens would be passing through Auckland this week, sent its invitation last Wednesday, and the reply came next morning: "Accept invitation to conduct National Orchestra with greatest pleasure." Arrangements then had to be made in great haste for the extra concert, which will mean that the orchestra will give two programmes in one day for the first time-a schools concert is set down for Friday afternoon. The programme Mr. Goossens is to conduct will be broadcast by 1YA, and is as follows: Leonora Overture III Beethoven "Water Music" Suite Handel "Les Preludes" Liszt Symphony in D Minor Franck The Suva is due to reach Auckland late on Monday, June 16, and the orchestra will be free for rehearsals after its concert on Tuesday evening. Mr. Goossens has been appointed to the double post of Director of the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music and Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and he is on his way there from Canada and America, where he has been conducting for-some years.
