the first act of Memberships - .Loreley,'
with which contemporaries OF the composer
say he was we'll pleased, lis perhaps the big
gest number proposed. Yet the charming
Feast Of Adonis'' with it's alternating male
and female choruses is sure to appeal to any
cultured audience T'=@
In addition there will be part songs by
Mendelssohn, flaming, Hecht and Sullivan,
in spirit ranging from grave to gay. Mr..

have an opportunity to study the best efforts
OF the old composers, such as Beethoven, Mo-
Fart and Mendelssohn, as we'll as many Of the
more modern writers.
