CO --- Easter Sunday, April 5

A SPECIAL feature of Signor Cesaro- : ni’s programme to-night will be the inclusion of some items appropriate to the season-the song "Easter Morning," by Himmel, and the celebrated "Easter Chorus" from "Cavalleria Rusticana," by Mascagni, with a company specially augmented for this occasion. Cesaroni will also be heard in Handel’s fine aria, "Arm, Arm, Ye Brave," from "Judas Maccabeus," and "The Praise of God," by Beethoven ; ‘and in the duet "Send Me Thine Aid," from Gounod’s "Queen of Sheba," the tenor. part being taken by Mr. R&R. Trewern. Excerpts from "Carmen," "Mignon" and "The Tales of Hoffman" will be sung by Misses Higgins and Stirling, and a ballad by Miss Brady. Miss Reid, L.A.B., will play Chopin’s "Ballade in F Minor." Another item of special interest wiil be presented to-night in the form of a ten minutes’ recital on the grand organ in the Town Hall by Mr. Bernard Page, city organist. To country listeners, whose usual experience of organ music is perforce limited to broadcasts of church organs and Wurlitzer organs, this fine recital on the grand organ by an acknowledged master of the instrument will be indeed a revelation.
