8 WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1924 at e ,~ BODY FftfH CONCERT IMPROVEMENT CALLS TO SESSION GETS APPROVAL Flute, Clarinet and Harp Gain Firat Laurels On Lincoln's Birthday in the evening a capacity crowd gathered in the assembly hall of New Trier High school to hear the fifth concert of the Little. Symphony orchestra. In view of the occasion the opening music of the evening was the playing and singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The program proper began with a festive presentation of the Overture to "Mignon," a number calling for the addition of a harp to. the regular make-up of the Little Symphony. In several other compositions the harp was also heard, contributing its own increment of pleasure to the concert. Mr. Dasch's leading of his artists through the second number, Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, was remar:kably skilful. The audience relished greatly ~he rendition of Godard's Adagio Pathetique, as was evidenced by their demanding an encore, which duly appeared in shape of a little waltz by Keller. The first half of the program closed with a Tarantelle by SaintSaens, in the performance of which Mr. Quensel on the flute and Mr. Evenson on the clarinet showed such musical artistry that, they were not only obliged to bow their acknowledgements but also made it necessary for the orchestra to play an extraVictor Herbert's "Encore." After a.n intermission spent by most of the audience in visiting with one another in the spacious mess-hall the playing was resumed. Bizet's piquant somewhat bizarre "L'Arlesienne" No: 2 went off dashingly and was followed by Elgar's Serenade L,yrique. An odd strangely attractive piece was a Valse Triste by Sibelius which was so well received that an encore was given namely, Grieg's Last. Spring. Every: body in the orchestra took part in the grand closing number, Dvorak's Slavonis Dances, from oboe to hass viol and viola to drums. ' The next concert; and also next-tot~e-last, will be given on Monday evemng, March 10.
