Notes from 4YA

FOLLOWING the relay of the service from St. Pauls Cathedral; when the preacher will be the Rey. Canon Nevill, the St. Kilda’s Band’s concert from the seaside rotunda will be broadcast. DURING the next six weeks the St. Kilda Band, while training for and attending the band contest at Wanganui, will not be heard on Tuesday evenings. Instead, the City Salvation Army Band, under Bandmaster Millard, will fill the breach. This band is an excellent combination, whose performances from 4YA in 1927 were always a feature. A splendid programme has been arranged for Tuesday evening next, and an outstanding number will be a selection of New Zealand melodies arranged by Gore. Several well-known artists have also been engaged to assist the band, including Miss Netta Wilkie (contralto), Mr. R. A. Mitchell (tenor), and Mr. EH. G. Bond (bass). Mr. Lester Moller will entertain with elocutionary numbers, and Rev. W. B. Scott will deliver the last of his series of talks on "Warly New Zealand." ERMANN LOHR’S delightful song cycle, "The Little Sunbonnet" will be presented by the 4YA Harmonists on Wednesday evening, and this will be supported by an interesting programme of popular musie. The 4YA Broadcasting Trio will play Schubert’s "Marche Militaire,’ and each member of the trio will contribute solo instrumental works. Elocutionary numpers will be given by Miss Madge ates.

HE early portion of Friday’s studio concert will consist of classical music, the vocal numbers being from the pens of Gounod, Verdi, Massenet, and Schubert, whose works will be represented by five numbers. The soloists will be Miss Molly Vickers (mezzosoprano), Miss Irene MHornblow, L.R.A.M. (contralto), and Mr. Arthur Lungley (baritone). Miss Aileen Young will play on the piano "The First Movement" from Beethoven’s Opus 27, No. 2. A TYPICAL vaudeville programme will be presented on Saturday evening, in which popular song hits and humorous numbers will predominate. Miss Mona Melville, Miss Betty Roberts, and Mr. Norman Scurr will sing light songs, while Mr. J. Paterson will entertain with humorous Seotch songs and patter. Amusing sketches will be presented by Miss Sheila Neilson and Mr, J. B. McConnell,
