CHOIR
One of the most important musical events in London is the annual visit of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir, which, for perfection of ensemble and artistic singing generally, cannot he surpassed in Britain. Early in the century Sir Hugh Roberton , conductor and founder of the choir, began his career as trainer of a church choir, and soon formed the small body of singers which became the nucleus of the Orpheus Choir. Many of the arrangements used are by Sir Hugh himself.
The Glasgow Orpheus Choir also broadcast from Queens Hall this afternoon in the Regional programme, and from the St. Andrew's Hall, Glasgow, in the Scottish programme last Tuesday.
