"Hinemoa" to be Broadcast

[THE first concert of the 1929 season of the Wellington Harmonic Society, assisted by 2YA Orchestra. will be given on Saturday evening in the Wellington Town Hall. The whole programme will be relayed by 2YA. This will be a unique entertainment in that, with a few exceptions, every item will be from the works of Alfred Hill. The chief feature of the evening will be the presentation of the cantata, "Hinemoa," which will occupy | the whole of the second half of the programme.

‘The words of "Hinemoa" were written by Mr. Arthur H. Adams, Alfred Hill being -he composer of the music. A. synopsis of the story will ‘be found in the programme pages of the "Radio Record." This will be the first occasion on which "Hinemoa" has been broadcast in its entirety in New Zealand, and the presentation by the Wellington Harmonic Society should be particularly enjoyable. The soloists for "Hinemoa" will be: Hinemoa ...... Mrs. J. F. Woodward Tutanekai ..........+. Mr. R. R. Orr Tiki .....2ee2-02522--. Mr. B. J. Hill Tohunga ........ Mr. ©. W.
