Next June the International Society for Contemporary Music will celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of its foundation by holding its Festival at Salzburg, .where it began in 1922; and this week the two British works chosen for performance there are both being played in the Third Programme: Humphrey Searte 's ' Poem for twenty-two strings ' on Tuesday and Phyllis Tate 's Sonata for clarinet and cello tonight The Sonata, which was completed in October 1947, is dedicated to Frederick Thurston and William Pleeth , who performed it for the first time at a London Contemporary Music Centre concert in December of that year.
