Symons-Ellwood Short Trio

Selected Broadcasts by 2Y A

TEMS from a concert to be given by the Symons-Ellwood-Short Trio in the Concert Chamber on Monday, October 14, will be broadcast by 2YA, Listeners-in will remember with great pleasure the delightful classical music played by this well-known combination of artists when contributing regularly to 2YA programmes. Short extracts to be broadeast on Monday evening will inelude the Rachmaninoff Trio, one of the mightiest conceptions in ¢hamber music, a work of surging vitality and the elemental force" of the Russian nation. Beethoven selected a humorous song from an opera, "The Sisters of Prague," by W. Muller, as the theme for a set of variations for trio. These are full

of quaintness and simple fun, and give each instrument effective solo opportunities. Another item will be a movement from Dyorak’s quintet, in which the trio will be assisted by Mrs. Eric Meier and Mr. Frank Crowther. This quintet is one of the most brilliant works for any small combination, and is another striking example of the pure tunefulness and captivating rhythm of this great Bohemian coinposer. Mrs. B. B. Wood, a singer of fine vocal and musical qualities, will be the vocalist. One of her numbers, "Sapphic Ode,’ by Brahms, will be broadcast. .
