THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO AUGMENTED
ORCHESTRA
Leader, FRANK CANTELL
Conducted by JOSEPH LEWIS
AT twenty-eight, when he wrote this Overture,
Sullivan had already achieved a fine command both of the Orchestra and of that knack of writing gay tunes that has so endeared him to us all. He wrote few pieces more spirited than this, even in the Comic Operas-and that is saying a good deal.

A Play by EDWIN LEWIS
Presented by STUART VINDEN
It is a quiet summer night. Beside tho road, on a green patch, a travelling van is drawn up under the shelter of the trees, and a log fire burns, filling the air with the stimulating aroma of the pine. Marie sits on the lowest step of the van with hands clasped behind her back. Her lips are parted in smiling wonder as she gazes at Carl, who, clad in a velvet jacket, is playing the violin.
