“These Philharmonic people have again changed the programme from the next concert; for some reason the Hiller Overture has been withdrawn the ‘Oberon’ substituted, while in addition to this we are to have Mendelssohn’s A major (Italian) Symphony, which was played by the Society at one of its concerts last season.”
