It is always interesting to hear a composer interpreting his own works. Michael Head , who will be heard singing some of his own songs, was born at Eastbourne in "1900. He studied singing under Fritz Marston and joined the staff of the Royal, Academy of Music in 1925 as a professor of the pianoforte. He has broadcast frequently, singing groups of his own songs. He was invited in 1929 to adjudicate at the first Musical Competition Festival in Kingston, Jamaica, and paid a return visit in 1933. He is known chiefly by his songs, which are sung by the leading singers and included in musical festivals all over the world.

The ' Romeo and Juliet ' overture, one of Tchaikovsky's first important compositions, was written in the early eighteen-seventies at a period when the composer was in close touch with the leaders of the ' nationalist ' group in St. Petersburg, particularly with Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakdv, and the art critic Stassov.
The subject of the overture was actually suggested to the composer by Stassov, who had married into an English family and was a passionate admirer of English literature in general, and Shakespeare in particular.
