(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
THE name of Montague Phillips as a composer of light music occurs frequently in these programme pages, and more than once a complete hour has been given to the performance of a selection of his compositions. But light music docs not represent the whole of his gifts as a composer. He has written at least one symphony, a symphonic poem, Boadicea, and two pianoforte concertos, of which this is the second. Mr. Phillips was formerly a student at the Royal
Academy of Music, is now a Follow, and has held there a professorship of composition. But the work with which the public mainly associates him is the light opera The Rebel Maid. Ever since its successful production, this opera has been a favourite with amateur operatic societies.
