At the 24th Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music, now being held in Brussels, recordings are to be made of several of the works performed, so it is hoped that listeners in this country will eventually hear them, in addition to the works broadcast tonight.
Karl Amadeus Hartmann was born in 1905 at Munich. Among his compositions are a Miserae for orchestra, a string quartet (which won first prize in an international competition in 1936), a chamber opera, and various symphonic works.
Hans Henkemans is a Dutch composer, bom in 1913, who studied with Willem Pijper. He began his career as a doctor of medicine, but now devotes all his time to music, as pianist and composer. His Flute Concerto was written for Johan Feltkamp.

by A.C.B. Lovell, O.B.E., Ph.D., of the Jodrell Bank Experimental Station, University of Manchester
In this talk Dr. Lovell deals mainly with the part of the new science of radio astronomy concerned with the reception of radio waves from the depths of the Galaxy. This use of radio waves to investigate topics that have hitherto been the domain of astronomy has recently led to results of fundamental significance. New types of stars have been discovered, and the ability of radio waves to penetrate the inter-stellar dust and haze is revealing the true shape of our Galaxy.
