Conducted by Joseph Lewis
Joseph Lewis is conducting four concerts this week, of which this is the first. For fifteen years Lewis was with the BBC, which he left in 1938, first as Musical Director of the Birmingham station and then, as a staff conductor. On leaving the BBC he formed his own orchestra which broadcast many times up to the outbreak of war.
For a period at the beginning of the war he was a guest conductor of the BBC Northern •Orchestra, so he will be paying a return visit this week.
