NATIONAL ORCHESTRA.
Sir,-I understand that approximately half the National Orchestra is to be on loan to the touring Italian Opera Company for some months. So far as I know, there has been no statement made as to how the balance of the orchestra is to be employed during this period. I beg to suggest that the Broadcasting Service send this group on a tour of our smaller centres where the orchestra has not yet appeared, and where halls are possibly of inadequate size to hold the full orchestra. Such a tour would be much appreciated in many centres and while the smaller group could possibly not attempt major symphonic works, it could provide nevertheless programmes of a high artistic standard and of popular appeal.
