BRAHMS DOUBLE CONCERTO
Sir-At the concert by the National Ofchestra held in the Wellington Town Hall .on November 6, the orchestra, assisted by two Australian artists, Ernest Llewellyn, violinist, and ‘John Kennedy, ’cellist, gave a very fine performance -of the Brahms Double Concerto. During the interval it was announced over the air that this was a first performance in New Zealand of the concerto. I,wish to question this statement. In 1933 ‘Mr. John Bishop (then conductor of the Wellingtom Choral Union) organised. a’ Brahms Festival, of four or five concerts lasting about a week, to commem--orate the centenary of the* master. At the last of these concerts the Double Concerto was performed by a full orchestra under the conductorship of John Bishop, the soloists being Ava Symons, " violinist, and George Elwodd, ’cellist. It was a notable occasion, and will be remembered by a number of players who
ly took : part in it--some of! are pre-sent-day members of thesky al Orchestra. a ey :
