PROVINCIAL TOUR
HE soloist in the National Orchestra’s provincial tour to Hastings, Napier and Gisborne will be the pianist Maurice Till. He will be playing the popular Rhapsody in Blue, by George Gershwin, at Napier and Gisborne on April 30 and May 2, and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, by Rachmaninoff,
at Hastings on April 29. An interesting work on the lighter side for Napier and Gisborne will be Weinberger’s Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree, a set of variations and a fugue. The composer wrote these after seeing King George VI doing this dance-a popular one at the time-at a Youth Camp in Britain in 1938. The symphonies in the programmes ate Haydn’s No. 97 (Hastings) and Dvorak’s No. 2 (Napier and Gisborne). ->---
