April 29, 1927 . WILMETTE LIFE· J9 SYMPHONY SEASON ENDS IN BRILLIANT CONCERT Audience Enthusiastic Over Work of Players Under Dasch Baton in Final Program By R. L. P. The fifth season of the Little Symphony orchestra series of concerts at New Trier High school closed Monday night with a program that kept the audience applauding enthusiasticaiiy after each number. Ther.e was a new feeling in the orchestra, a ·personal touch, and poise, that made it play easily and expressively. Twenty-five of the members have been on a tour in the South, and the confidence they have· gained from playing together so much has colored the entire orchestra. In Goldmark's Overture, "In Springtime," and in the fourth movement, ':In the Garden," from his "The Rustic \\ edding," there was a sense of freedom and ease in the orchestra that made these two numbers well-knit, beautifully balanced and lovely. Tschaikowsky's Concerto No. 1 for piano and orchestra showed that the orchestra has also gained much in accompanying. Agnes Bodholdt Conover, at the piano, displayed an amazing power and clarity in the huge chords and brilliant passages for the solo instrument. Her touch was almost masculine, and it was always under perfect control. In response to the demands of a·n appreciative audience, she played two encores, "Caprice," by Dohnanje, a splendid chance for her to show more of her marvelous techn;que; and a quieter thing, 44 Prelude," by Rachmaninoff. The ever popular Nicode suite of "Scenes from the South" played by the orchestra after the intermission, was spmpatheticatly and charm i n g 1 y handled. A group of three numbers, ".Tambeurin Chinois." bv Kreisler; Gondoliera," by Ries ;- "Spanish Dance," hy Granados; followed, with lilting ~aicty and delightful spirit. These three number::; were arrang-ed for the Little Symphony orchestra by its conductor, George Dasch. The first is a tran~cription of Kreisler's popular ,·iolin solo; the second is derived from one oi the intere:'ting suites for violin and piano by Ries; and the third is one of a set for piano, by a contemporary Spanish composer. They are all admirably suited for orchestration, and ~1 r. Da sch has made them intensely interest in g. Elgar's majestic "Pomp and Circumstance" closed the evening, and the orchestra swept it out in great waves of feeling and rhythm. Thrilled and pleased, the audience "sat tight" until Mr. Dasch allowed the orchestra to give an encore, ·· Licbestraum," by Liszt, which they made smooth, tender and ran·h· beautiful.
