The Adolph Hallis Quintet consists of five instrumentalists well known in other spheres of music. Lionel Falkman , who is popular with listeners for his Apache Band, leads; the second violin is Editha Braham , formerly a member of the BBC Symphony Orchestra ; Helen Jackson , principal viola of the British Women's Symphony Orchestra, plays the viola ; the 'cellist is George Roth , who is a member of the London Philharmonic ; and Adolph Hallis , a well-known music teacher and a soloist from the earliest days of broadcasting, is the pianist.
The Quintet concentrates on special orchestrations-most of them are devised by Adolph Hallis himself-of light music that has been unjustly neglected.
