Hanover's musical season has been featured thus far by two important concerts, that of the Community Symphony Orchestra, December 16, and the recital by Reinald Werrenrath, baritone, January 15.
Under Professor Maurice F. Longhurst, of the Department of Music, the Hanover orchestra numbering 60 members gave a varied and interesting program including the C minor Symphony of Beethoven, an Andantino from Schubert's Rosamunde, Lizst's Liebestraume, Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, and Mozart's Don Juan. The orchestra was assisted by seven members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra whose interest in the work being done in Hanover prompted them to offer their services.
The Community Orchestra is rapidly assuming a position of real importance in Hanover and becoming an organization in which the College and the town alike share much pride.
Reinald Werrer.rath, who appeared in Webster Hall for the second time in three years proved again his enormous popularity as a singer. Such numbers as the unfailing "Duna," "The Road to Mandalay," and "Captain Stratton's Fancy" were enthusiastically received, as was also a number from Der Meistersinger, "Wahn, Wahn, Ueberall Wahn.'
Future recitals to which the College is eagerly looking forward are that of Marcel Dupre, organist of Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, Albert Spaulding, violinist, and the Ukrainian Chorus.
