An unusual combination of instruments will be heard in a concerto with the National Orchestra which all YC stations will broadcast from Wellington on May 18. They are harp, harpsichord and piano. The work is the "Petite Symphonie Concertante" for solo instruments and double string orchestra of the Swiss composer Frank Martin. The soloists will be (above, from left) Gwyneth Brown (harpsichord), David Galbraith (piano) and Leslie Comer (harp). Gwyneth Brown and Leslie Comer will be making their first concerto appearances with the orchestra. "Petite Symphonie Concertante" is one of Martin's most popular compositions, and since its first performance in Zurich in 1945 it has often been heard on the concert platform in Europe and America, and has been performed in Australia, In its three movements Martin makes the most of the differences and similarities between the plucked harp and harpsichord and the percussive piano, Martin, born in 1890, has also written opera, ballet and symphonic works and songs.
