Station Orchestra
Conductor, Warwick Braithwaite

Mr. John Ansell, whom we recently welcomed as the new conductor of 2LO's Orchestra, has a good many years of varied conducting behind him, and a number of charming light orchestral pieces, besides several Comic Operas, to his credit. Here is one of his tuneful Overtures.
Molly on the Shore is the name of an old Irish reel, and the composer has made his piece out of this and another reel. Temple Hill. His use of the orchestra will be found to be vivid and highly coloured. Percy Grainger was born in Melbourne, in 1883, but during the war took on American nationality.
