In Melbourne and Sydney.

HE Sydney stations, 2FC and ZBL, are "going all highbrow" next week, but they're providing a great treat for lovers of good music. Probably the most important concert of the week is the one to be broadcast by 2FC on Wednesday. It will be from the Conservatorium of Music, Sydney, and will be a chamber concert given by members of the New South Wales State Conservatorium Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Edgar L. Bainton. From the same station on the following Saturday there is to be a programme of music inspired by William Shakespeare, and presented by the A.B.C. Concert Orchestra. Melbourne’s Lo on Monday evening, is to attempt a rebroadcast from the League of Nations’ shortwave station at eneva.

From the Empire Stations (Daventry).

HAT the B-B.C. .s spending an increasing amount of money and time on the Empire programmes is evidenced in those scheduled for broadcast to Australia and New Zealand next week. On Tues- _ day at 7.45 p.m. (N.Z.S.T.), the recently-formed Em pire Orchestra is to give a concert of music by British composers, while on the following Saturday it will give a concert of light music. On Monday’s programme there will be a ummary and runnirig commentary of the Ireland versus Wales football match. Dr. Keith Barry, well known in Australian broadcasting, will give a talk on Thursday Island from London on Tuesday evening. On Friday evening there is to be a recital by South African artists.

From the German Stations (Berlin).

ERHAPS the most interesting programme from Germany next week is Friday’s when, in the women’s hour, the 125th anniversary of the death of Queen Louise will be celebrated, and, at 9.45 p.m(N.Z.S.T.) there will be a relay from Hamburg of a concert dealing with the compositions of Bach and Handel. On Monday there is to be a fairy play, "King Bluebeard" with another play, "Springtime in Germany," at 9.45. A programme labelled "Three Jolly Quarters of an Hour’ for Thursday evening sounds interesting.
