Professor Wiley, speaking almost informally to the small audience, said that the orchestra had had only seven rehearsals, to prepare the program. Following the traditional national anthem, the orchestra played Mozart's 'Magic Flute' overture with precision. Unfortunately, Gustav Mahler's symphony is inherently too long and lacking in different theme material to carry it through. There is a tendency to lose interest in the music. Nevertheless, the orchestra played the intriguing passages with a professional touch. Solos By Prof. Geltch Prof. Waldemar Geltch played the solos in the Bruch concerto well up to his usual standard. Although sometimes tending to overshadow the soloist, the orchestra did a magnificent job of accompaniment. Familiar and well-played strains from Wagner's 'Die Meistersinger' closed a truly wonderful orchestral season. The return of the group next year will be met with an anticipation of still greater accomplishments.
